There's been a couple of reports of Faderport 8 not working in Waveform.
I don't have one of these to test with so to see if it's something I can fix without a physical device, can someone let me know what doesn't actually work with it?
If you put the device in to MCU mode and use the device in the Mackie Control Universal mode, what doesn't work? (And what does work).
For the things that don't work, do you know what messages they are sending that are non-standard MCU?
That would be a big help.

Waveform doesn't even see the Fajderport 8. I have tried it in all available modes. It isn't available in the input or output drop down menus. It will show it in midi mode, but it's connected via USB and isn't usable.

Just for anyone doing future searches, Faderport 8 works, when in MCU mode, if the input and output are both enabled in Settings/Midi Inputs, then assigned to input and output of the Mackie Control Universal profile under Settings/Control Surfaces ;

Set it on the input, put the FP into MCU mode and it was available at last. Faders popped into action the second I selected it...thanx again.chico.co.uk wrote: Mon Feb 10, 2020 5:27 pm If you go into Settings / Midi Devices, does it show the Faderport input and output there?
Are both set to Enabled?
If it doesn't show there, check you don't have "Only show enabled devices" turned on.

FWIW, to anyone with a midi keyboard with pads/transport buttons, and sliders, it's the same- at least for the Arturia KeyLab Essential.
KeyLab has separate drivers for the controls, so select that, as the In and Out, in both Midi Devices, and in Control Surfaces in MCU. My sliders don't work in Waveform- but, I didn't attempt to map them- the pads, and the basic transport controls work.
I asked Arturia if they would write a template for Tracktion/Waveform, as they have for Ableton/FL Studios, but they essentially said they're catering to the "big boys" now.

When I was using my M-Audio Oxygen 49 as a controller all the sliders and knobs worked perfectly after mapping them manually. I only use it as a midi keyboard now though

Hmm...I could swear I read you can't map knobs and sliders. I've tried a few times, but can't get midi learn/mapping to respond to any of my sliders or knobs. Partly why I haven't dedicated a whole lot of time to mapping everything.

Not having used a Faderport, I'm a bit lost by the status of this thread now. With chico.co.uk's advice, is everything now working correctly in MCU mode?
