The Lighting Controller

I am not able to use the Akai APC40 mk2 Knobs for Fader Slider after the latest update. Previously I had them programmed to activate my mover shapes and control the speed. Now they will activate the shape, but twisting the know will not adjust speed/fader.

Make sure the midi kind is set to control instead of note.

Thanks for your reply!

I have three choices: Note, Control, Program. They are all set to Control. When I turn the knob, the shape is activated but won't move past 25%.

I also noticed the lights on the APC40 mk2 for simple color scenes are no longer staying lit after being used. Previously I would have to use each button to activate them, but now that doesn't even work.

Curious if anything changed with midi on the last update?

Yes, there have been tweaks to the way midi works.

Live - enhanced management for midi shortcuts

It's unfortunate you didn't report this yesterday because I could have tested on an APC40 mk2 to see if I can recreate the problem but if it doesn't get fixed soon, I could be able to test.

I cannot reproduce this on a midi device of my own that also has knobs, mine still goes from 100% to 0% just fine.

Thanks again!

A few other changes I have noticed. I have a couple two step scenes... zoom 0 to zoom 255, focus 0 to focus 255, etc. They are all located in Live as buttons with fader slider activated. If I move the slider from 255 to 0 quickly, it will not zero out every time. More than 90% of the time it will show a random low value (9,12,14,6,1,etc). If I move the slider slowly from 255 to zero, there is no issue. Previously, this was a non-issue, regardless of how fast the slider was moved.

This scenario does not happen with the master faders. Regardless of how fast the sliders are moved, they result in 255 or 0 every time!

Please try the latest fix file, something like that was corrected.

I am using the latest version 8.2.6.

Actually, I've been having that problem as well with some blinders that stay dimly lit when I move the fader down fast. But when I fade them down slowly they turn off just fine.

Is it possible for me to download the previous version to work with until this issue is resolved? Can anyone provide a link?!

What version do you need?
