Can't Control with Midi Buttons since VERSION 3.5.4

Post by jmibk »

Since the version 3.5.1 ive problems to get any midi controller running in fs.
FS detects the controller and everything works like in the previous versions, but:

buttons enable a function, they dont dissable it. Ive seen, that there are new functions in the midi window:

Can everone explain the new things and whats the correct settings are, to press a button, pressing the corresponding override button, when releasing the midi button, releases the corresponding override button (when the override button is a flash button).

Ive tried different midi controllers, on every try the same problem.

I have the same problem.
I use "Freestyler 3.3.2" for a long time. For the control I use a "Korg Nano Key" to control the "overide button". Everything works fine.

Now I have installed "Freestyler 3.5.4". The "Nano Key" is selected. Also, the notes will be programmed. But the "overide button" show no reaction.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help!

Does anybody know if version 3.5.5 will still support the same midi commands as 3.5.4?? I got my controller all set up and working with 3.5.4 using Bomes, I don't want to download the new version if it's going to stop working again!!

I have version 3.5.5 when I first open up the program everything works I can get all the override buttons to do there thing, I can even go from tab 1-6 one time after that the tabs and the override buttons become null and void as if they were never programmed though if I open the midi editor I still see them responding as incoming signal. I'm lost, plus I use an APC 40 and as stated in other posts I would like to know if there is a way to make it so I see a light come on, on the controller if say an override is on and off if it turns off. thanks I know those are fairly different questions th be in the same feed but any help is appreciated

Unfortunately I have the same problem here when I updated from 3.5.2 to 3.5.5. Programming looks just fine on my overrides but this is not seen by FS. Any help appreciated please....??

I've been fighting weird MIDI problems for awhile in 3.5.4 and just discovered it's the active repeater cable I was using, but while troubleshooting I discovered I had to enable Note On / Note Off in the MIDI setup in 3.5.4 and 3.5.5 and the new BETA version. That solved part of my problem
