    Default Midi-Fighter LED Help

    Hey all-

    I received my MF today and got it loaded up with the Deckalized Deck Focus tsi. All of the buttons function correctly however the LED's do not.

    When a button is toggled to remain on the LED does not remain lit. They only light for the duration they are pressed regardless of toggling an effect ect.

    Also when placing the MF in cue point juggle mode (Shift + Sample) the eight bottom buttons do not stay on.

    I haven't made any changes and I believe my in/out setting are correct (all buttons do what they are supposed to do). Is there a way to get the proper visual feedback from the LED's like in Ean's MF video? Am i missing something?

    Make sure you not only have MIDI input from the device but you have also enabled MIDI output to it. The LEDs are controlled by MIDI messages being sent out from your computer to the Midifighter.

    You can test this using MIDI-OX or a similar MIDI debugger by enabling the keyboard simulator and sending MIDI.

    My in/out setting both list the MF. I'm not quite sure how to use MIDI-ox or the other debugger.

    How do I do this? Where are the out settings? I'm sure the config in traktor controller settings are correct. I've done it at least 100x today. Still no LED function as per Ean's video.

    So I have a mac so I have MidiMonitor to determine what is being sent to/from Traktor to the MidiFighter.

    Here is the MidiMonitor output:

    Sync Off
    19:16:28.594 From Midifighter Note On 3 C#3 127
    19:16:28.679 From Midifighter Note Off 3 C#3 127
    19:16:28.681 To Midifighter Note Off 3 C#3 0

    Sync On
    19:16:38.456 From Midifighter Note On 3 C#3 127
    19:16:38.588 From Midifighter Note Off 3 C#3 127
    19:16:38.603 To Midifighter Note On 3 C#3 127

    The notes appear to be being sent right but my LED's aren't being set. I have confirmed that MidiFighter is set in both my In-Port and Out-Port in Traktor's settings.

    Here is my Traktor info for reference: Traktor Scratch Pro, 1.2.6. Mac OS X 10.6.4

    I was just about to say the same thing. A re-flash did the trick. Just out of curiosity, is the new batch of MidiFighters using an older firmware?

    Sorry guys my bad there - when I programmed and tested them I managed to use an old version of the firmware which is a bit buggy around the LED contro, while they are now being reflashed before shipping from San Fran I believe some of the first units may have slipped through with the old firmware.

    What number units do you guys have?
