Anyone else have novation impulse 49 issues?

Post by eyeknow » Sun Mar 31, 2013 5:46 am

If I had any hair left, I'd be tearing it out!

a) live seems to want to "disconnect" with the I49 regularly. (i.e. I go to move the master fader and it won't work. that goes for all the controls)

b) I get the "gibberish" screen frequently (on the I49). When live is NOT used, this doesn't seem to happen much. But it's pretty much 100% of the time somewhere into a live session.

c) The tab/R + ctrl bug is apparently linked to this specific controller. I'll try my old m audio to confirm but that is pretty annoying.

d) Automap? Is that just a pos?

My specs are win7x64 and I have live 9.02 x64. I have tried the current automap 4.6 as well as the 4.7b (which seems to be better) Any thoughts welcome. I'm pretty much at my wits end with controllers.......I have an m audio that is a POS too.

probably not something I should say, but it's not good.

I just wanted to know if anyone else is having similar issues.

So, today I decided to work a bit more on another host and guess what? No issues. None. Zero. Zippo. Nadda.

I have no idea why, but this would "seem" to confirm there is something with live that is causing a problem. Considering that the "tab/rename" thing has been linked to this controller, I can only guess there is a correlation. :evil:

It CAN'T just be me. Either there is something wrong with my setup (always a possibility) or others should be having similar issues.

I know I'm just talking to myself here :lol: but I believe this is triple confirmed to be an issue with live 9. I really wish people with impulses would chime in regardless of what version of the controller they are using. I think it's related to automap and live 9 hating each other. I don't know what other conclusion to draw because I just did a session in 8.4 and it was fine.

I haven't had any with mine. Not using automap though.

it's just strange. live somehow disconnected itself (smartly??) from automap (just the keys work) and things are cool. I'm too old for this shit! :lol:
