Really odd control surface problem

dru · Post by **dru** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 7:59 am

My friend has recently setup his PCR-M50 as a control surface for Live on his Macbook Pro (as per sombody's post on here who provided a template and UserConfiguration.txt). All was working well for a while until just the other day the knobs and sliders and transport controls stopped working.

Since then, he's done a erase and install (Mac) and installed everything from scratch but it's still not working. He's tried installing on a friend's Macbook Pro with success. But it just won't work for his Macbook Pro anymore.

Any ideas why this is? I've gone through everything with him (he's in a different country to me) but we still can't figure it out! Any help appreciated!

Just an update. On my working setup (pretty much the same), when I move a slider, knob or button, the green blinking light next to KEY will light. I'm able to get the Blue Hand when trying to control a rack. When I press any of the keys, the green blinking light next to D will light. My setup is working fine.

On his setup, for all controls except some buttons, the light next to D will light. He cannot get the blue hand to work.

Anyone?

It's odd... I have the same problems too. But mine is PCR M30.

Been running it smoothly for couple weeks, but suddenly all the knobs, buttons and sliders stops functioning. Only keys, transpose & octave buttons and modulation bender working now.

Formatted my mbp and reinstall ableton, pcr m30 driver and also the pcr editor .mid files. (I ran Ableton live 6.0.7 with Mac OSx 10.4)

Anyone else experienced this? Been looking for the answers all over. Helps will greatly appreciated.

Thanks...
