Hi,
I have the Faderport 8 and have installed the Universal Control (PC, Windows 10). However, it keeps giving me an error "limited or no connectivity to Faderport 8......". I can see that the FaderPort 8 is visible in the UC, and it works well in Studio One. But it's quite annoying that this message keeps popping up all the time. To be honest, I don't know what to do with Universal Control. There are no help pages, no "right click action" Anyway, What is the latest version number for FaderPort 8 firmware ? My FaderPort 8 says that version is 1.01. (10899M) from Nov 24, 2016. Best Regards, Thomas |
Latest firmware is 1.10. In UC, it should tell you to update your firmware if you select Faderport 8.

Make sure that you have UC 2.2.44119 installed from the link below, and use that to update the firmware of the FP8. Universal control is the driver software for all Presonus products except for the legacy firewire devices and mixers.

Universal control is the driver software for all Presonus products except for the legacy firewire devices and mixers. I had that version. But the problem is that it doesn't seem to connect in UC. Today a new version of UC came out, and I hoped that would fix the problem, but no. Version 2.3.0.44619 also reports "Limited or no connectivity to Faderport 8". Please, isn't there another way to update firmware? |
If you have security software running on your PC, you might want to try temporarily switching it off before you turn on the Faderport. This worked perfectly for me.
I have had the exact same issues that you have been experiencing and a couple of days ago I opened a support ticket to try and get things sorted. Was advised to update USB drivers, chipset etc but this did not help. I got to thinking that if I have the same problem with the UC and FP8 on both my PC and Laptop (different specs) yet the FP8 works fine with my DAWs maybe the problem isn't hardware related. On a whim I rebooted my PC, turned off my anti virus software (AVG - runs on Laptop and PC), switched on the FP and lo and behold - NO connectivity error messages, the firmware version of the FP appeared in the UC window and I was able to update to the latest firmware. I have rebooted a few times and if the anti virus is on it stops UC from working properly with FP 8. Turn AVG off and all is well. Until I can figure out how to get AVG to allow the UC to work properly I have switched off the 'run at startup' option in the UC and will just use it when there is new firmware. I hope this info is helpful. Ron |
Update
It seems that when AVG upgraded itself to a newer version it "quietly" changed my network firewall settings from Private to Public. Changing the settings back to Private fixed everything. The wrong settings in AVG firewall were also preventing Notion and Studio One from communicating with each other properly and were preventing the Studio One RC app from accessing the main program. |
