Help Needed with Denon MC3000 controller and Windows XP Sp3…
Ok as the title suggest I’m having problems and can’t get my head around the problem and I was hoping that one of you guys could help me out before I loose all my hair…lol
Yesterday I recieved my new MC3000 controller and was really excited to get it up and running as my old controller died at the weekend.
So I installed the latest Denon Asio Driver 2.2.2 and also Updated the firmware to the latest version V1005. I have Traktor 2.6 Installed on my PC so I never Installed the enclosed LE software. I set up my audio routing etc and followed the wizard instructions for importing the Tsi, as far as I know thats all I need to do.
So heres my problem, when I switch on the controller it does it’s light blinking as normal at startup but that’s all it does, None of the controls of the 3000 are moving anything in the software, there appears to be no midi signal being sent The CTRL panel on top of Traktor is not illuminating as it should to show midi command being sent to software. I have tried with every Tsi there is for the 3000 thinking maybe it was a bad Tsi but I get the same from everyone of them. Now I know XP is old but it’s what I have at the moment and Denon say it can run on my system XP with SP3, I really hope one of you guys can help me out as I’m not getting much info from other forums (Native Instruments & Denon),
I can control Traktor with the keyboard so it’s a controller problem i recon not software.
I really hope someone can help me, If not I need to send the unit back to Germany and thats a pain
Ok I have also just noticed that the connection Icon on top of Traktor is Orange NOT Blue as it should be if everything was ok. I have tried another usb cable to see if that was a problem, tried different usb slots and I get the same result every time
This is from memory so i may have some of the terms wrong (not in front of my DJ lappy at the moment), but I remember I had similar problems with my DNMC6000
Go into Traktor / Preferences / Controller Manager.
Also (as said by slvrdragon50 above) make sure its set to the right midi channel.
On my mc6000, i can change channels by holding down shift and pressing one of the 4 little buttons underneath the track browse encoder in the middle. Have a look in the manual, yours is probably similar. Should probably be midi channels 1-4.
you can change those values to MC3000. Or at least you should be able to. If MC3000 doesn’t show up in that list then something else is wrong, and the controller isn’t being recognised by Traktor.
If there are no ports available the problem is likely not with Traktor. Windows is not registering the MC3000 as a MIDI device, which could be a problem with XP or the controller itself.
You could try downloading MIDIOX just to verify whether or not the controller is sending any MIDI at all.
