The build and install I believe sets it up correctly, but I will have to double check that sometime. I don't remember editing anything the last couple of times I did this anyways. Yes I am aware you need to edit it on Linux but the reason is that on Linux you ened to tell it to use the raw port, not the alsa-seq port which causes issues.<br> <br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 1:48 AM, Glarbl_Blarbl <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:glarblblarbl@gmail.com">glarblblarbl@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <br> The weird part is that even though it seems to recognize the control surface and map faders to mix channels, none of the faders move when I move them in the mix window (with or without feedback checked -- this works under linux) and I don't see any log activity when I move faders around on the mcu.

You need to download the MIDI Patchbay app, it can still be found on various points of the internet, and route from the mcu port to the MIDI port and Back, then enable feedback.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I have tried a bunch of different sync settings, but get errors when I try to "Send MTC" and sync mcu to MTC -- which is what I needed to do to make it work under linux.<br> <br></blockquote><div><br>Completely unrelated and should never be needed to get MCU working.<br><br> Seablade<br></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
