Thanks. Dave (Logic back in 32 bit mode for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastfourier Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Here's what presonus support suggested, which seems to work: Try and install the Faderport 1.2 driver (driver version 1.3.3) first, and then try and do the Firmware 1.3.8 updater again. Remove the Faderport from your control surfaces, close Logic, unplug the device and plug it back in, and open logic again. Came up a treat in 64-bit mode. However the thing is still pretty useless. the Pan knob jumps around all over the place and it only writes automation for the first couple of seconds when you put your finger on the fader in Touch mode. I sent another message to their support about this, but no reply yet (about 4 months later). It has since been resigned to first a glorified transport controller, then a box in the attic. Also the default control surface setup it comes with doesn't have a couple of buttons assigned correctly (the automation mode buttons IIRC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpickell Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks. I heard about another product that might fit the bill, a Euphonix something or other. Not quite ready for the big control surface HUI but love the fader. Mouse eats it for inputting volume automation esp. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastfourier Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 There's another single-fader type of device called the AlphaTrack which apparently is much better than the FaderPort, but not made any more. If I really need to input some automation in realtime then automation quick access and the mod wheel is my way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpickell Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Ya, I know. I used a DX7 as a controller for years (got made fun of for that) which had 2 lovely assignable faders, great for volume automation input. Once it bacame a boat anchor....I've been a bit at sea ever since! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
