BCR2000 is driving me crazy!
Posted: Sat Oct 02, 2010 10:04 am
Wondering if anyone could help…
Have recently got a new laptop, running Windows 7 (32 bit), Live 7, BCR2000, Faderfox, Launchpad.
On my old laptop, everything worked fine, so assume there’s no problems with the hardware… however with the new set up I’m running into problems getting the BCR2000 working.
Eventually it will work, but I have to load up live, turn the ports on the BCR2000 on and off, close it down, switch BCR2000 on and off a few times, repeat process a few times. Then it will work for a short while until I load up a set, then it stops working. Finally I’ll repeat the process again (usually takes about 20 minutes) and it will work like clockwork, with not a hitch!
For some reason the 3rd midi port on the BCR is highlighted as ‘orange’ in the midi preferences (and when I load up Max5 runtime for monome emulator, it also comes up with a message saying it’s having problems opening that particular midi port), so I suspect this has something to do with it? Also, after I’d first installed all the various drivers for sound cards, etc, Live hung whilst it was loading. The next time I loaded it, I seem to recall it coming up with an error screen explaining that it wouldn’t open this BCR2000 port in future.
I’ve tried reinstalling all the drivers, but no joy there. Anyone got any ideas? Help would be much appreciated, it’s driving me insane having to spend the best part of half an hour trying what seems like a random combination of things to finally get it up and running! Perhaps a reinstall of live may work?
