LAUNCHPAD usb driver installed already / no AUTOMAP installed


it really bother me about my LAUNCHPAD only work with using the USB hub...

I also have BCR 2000 / AKAI LPK25, it works well when all controller connected to powered usb hub.

but sometimes I have to bring only LAUNCHPAD out, it didn't work when I connect to any of my usb port, can't see the device in audiomidi setup nither.

I have bring my usb hub only for 1 LAUNCHPAD, so stupid...


any help?

i'm not a mac user but are you sure the usb ports are giving enough power to your devices
So you got bothered because you have to bring your usb hub...
Man seriously, it's not a big deal.

I would retitle your topic "MACBOOK usb problem"

I second looking into that. Not trying to start a mac/pc thread but I've read multiple issues where the bluetooth and camera interfere with the amount of power the laptop can give to certain usb's. In the talks i've seen I thought there was usually one usb that was solid. Hope this helps, I know that can be frustrating cause I need 8 powered usb hubs in a laptop (i can dream).

Well by re reading myself, sorry if I was kind of pc vs mac...
not my intention

I've read same as you Headrick, maybe by changing usb port and isolating the one which is providing enough power
