TriggerFinger falls asleep

Hey there,

When I'm doing a mix in Ableton, my M-Audio sometimes "falls a sleep" so I have to reconnect it through USB. When I tweak a knob, the screen on the controller shows the new value, but Ableton doesnt react.

If anybody has a golden asnwer, it would be truly appreciated

i think this may be a problem with your usb power output. this happened to me, and i had to buy a powered usb hub b/c the triggerfinger was pulling more power from the onboard one than it could give. you could also try using a dc adapter for the tf itself. next time it happens check and see if your tf is still showing up in the midi setup panel. if not, thats probably the issue.
