I need Serious help[Midi controller issue]

**DJBambii** · 10-02-2011, 11:07 PM

Okay I need help badly. My computer isnt reading anymidisignals or even picking up that my Midi-Fighter and Hercules MK4 exist. I know the usb ports are working because the devices have power. I have tried reinstalling the drivers and Traktor several times , nothing is working, please any idea what it could be and how to fix it

try something like midi-ox or "bomes keyboard" and see what midi devices they list... the place i'd start anyway.

if midi-ox does list your devices, then the next step is to see if it dumps the data from them when u press controls etc.

traktor is way too far up the food chain to be able to tell u what/where the issue is...

you could also download my midimasher and just run the dump.exe (if on a pc). it will list all the midi devices it can see - and display data from the one u select.

MidiOx sees them but it says "Midi Fighter Classic: Unknown external error"

I t says that for my MK4 as well. Im about to restore windows to see if that helps

Correct drivers?

**DJBambii** · 10-03-2011, 07:18 PM

Yep, reinstalled them several times to no avail

Did you get any conformation after driver installion saying they were installed correctly?

Do the MF or Hercules show up at all in your controller preference tab in Traktor?

and you weren't running any other app (traktor etc) that would have tried to open their midi ports too?
