Ableton Forum

Hi!

this is my firts Question/Topic in this Forum.
Im german so sorry for the english.

After i read about the Bug in Version 8.08 i thought about my apc40 problem.
The Problem is that Fader 6 and the Master Fader do not work right.
And i have no idea wehther it is a hardware or a software problem like the bug in version 8.08?

Somebody else with this Problem?

Be specific though, like, how does it not working right?

Hi!

youre quick!!! thx

Fader 6 works mechanical the whole way, but live gets no right information.
The midi in/out (send/return)twinkels alot.
The Fader in live just move between -nothing and -64 db
The master Fader works mechanical also but just in an area of -3 - +6 db

You can probably download 8.0.5 from http://www.ableton.com/latest_versions - just to see whether it's caused by 8.0.8 or not. Or wait for the fixed 8.0.8 later today...

i have 8.05 already installed.
i have try 8.04 also ... same problem with fader

is it always the physical fader 6? so if you move left and right does it still happen with that fader or is it the track?

it is the physical fader 6
i think it is an mechanical problem but hope it is not

I'm afraid it sounds like a mechanical problem.
I guess the fader also behaves this way if you use the midi learn function in order to map it to some parameter?
If so, you should exchange your APC.

good idea to test that.

ive try to map fader 6 on the master and there the fader 6 works like the also "broken" masterfader
and i map the master on fader 6 and it works like on the master

you know what i mean?

i have to say that if i move fader 5 6 also move a little

Nope, noch nicht wirklich.
Nachdem Du meintest, dass sich Dein Fader 6 und Deiner Masterfader kaputt anfühlen, macht es zum testen wenig Sinn, jetzt einfach nur die Mappings von Fader 6 und dem Masterregler zu tauschen. Sind ja eh beide kaputt, wie willst Du da einen Unterschied finden?
Besser wäre es, Fader 6 und den Masterfader mal auf einen Kanal zu mappen, der grundsätzlich funktioniert - aber im Endeffekt bin ich mir schon recht sicher, dass es ein Hardwaredefekt ist, nachdem Du meintes, dass der 5. auch den 6. Fader beeinflusst und es auf einen Umtausch hinausläuft.

Ja kann ich das bei akai deutschland direkt machen oder über ableton oder muss ich mich an den Händler wenden?

Don't eat cookies above the apc40

Du musst Dich an Akai oder Deinen Händler wenden, Ableton hat ja mit dem Hardwarrverkauf und der Garantie von Akaiprodukten nichts zu tun.

Gruss,
Dom

ok danke das wollt ich wissen!

no smoking no cooking no cookies in the studio
