Faderport MIDI mode problems
Posted: Sun Jul 18, 2021 11:15 am
Hello everybody,
I'm new to this forum so I don't know if this has already been discussed.
I find Faderport useful as a Mackie controller but I find its MIDI mode very frustrating.
First of all you can send MIDI values from the faders to the DAW but if you try to update the faders from the DAW values, the faders are not updated correctly, which is one of the points of having motorized faders in the first place...Here's a long video where I explain in detail what is happening:

(jump to minute 3:10 to skip the setup and see what is not working)
Second, I mainly use the MIDI faders to control expression parameters for string ensembles, winds etc. As a result, I need to play, stop, record all the time while I move them however the play, rec, stop, rew, ffd buttons are not working as usual in MIDI mode and can't even be mapped to normal MIDI CC parameters.
Any help would be appreciated.
