Launchpad not working

Post by burningslayer » Tue Jan 01, 2013 1:53 am

So I am running ableton live 8.2.2 on a pc and my launchpad is recognized by the program but when i go to preferances to set it up, as soon as i have selected launchpad and turned on turned on the input and output track and remote switches the words next to it say "Input: Launchpad Input (2- Launchpad)" and "Output: Launchpad Output(2- Launchpad)" in orange text and my launchpad wont light up. doesnt function at all. here is a pic http://i.imgur.com/5I6Z1.png Please help, uninstalled and reinstalled, updated my drivers, it may have something to do with the fact that it says 2- launchpad instead of just launchpad. SOMEBODY PLEASE haha its super stressful.

just a guess... looks like your USB port went to "sleep"

close live... disconnect and reconnect your usb cable.
start live... are the launchpad ports still in orange?

if that helped... you might wanna do this

3dot has good advice. My launchpad installed flawlessly software-wise.
If his help doesn't work, this this:
Installing Automap.
Using a new USB cable.
Uninstalling and reinstalling Launchpad Via Hardware Manager (Only do this if you know what you're doing.)

see that's the thing my cousin got one and what we did is, we tried his on my computer and it didn't work then we tired mine on his laptop and it worked so i know for a fact that its not the pad, and yah ive also tried shutting down live then repluging it in that also does not work, have also tried re installing both live AND the driver for it that failed to im almost positive this is a program related problem not a hardware one.
