Numark Orbit MIDI Controller

Hi Everyone,

I bought a Numark Orbit MIDI controller in hopes of using it with Freestyler. I'm able to connect it to Freestyler (3.54) and when setting up the MIDI profile, I see appropriate MIDI channels / values change in the when assigning buttons to Freestyler functions.

I can't figure out why when all assignments are defined and confirmed committed, Freestyler won't respond to these commands. E.g. I have a few buttons setup on the Orbit to control sub master functions (up / down / stop / run) and nothing seems to respond. I suspect I'm missing something simple.

I know it's been a while but I've just purchased a Numark Orbit and I'm having the exact same issue myself...
Freestyler obvouisly recognises it but it doesn't do anything once you exit out of setup!

Edit: I've just updated to 3.6.3 and it seems to be working however I need to double tap for example:

Override button 1 (set all lights to blue):

1st tap = lamp dimmer 100%
2nd tap = change colour to blue
3rd tap = nothing I can see
4th tap = lamp dimmer 0%

hmmm..

I have the Orbit too... Sorry my English isn´t Good Enough to say why, but I think it´s not possible to use it for (Flash - ) Overrides (because Toggle/NoteOnOff). But normal Overrides are working on the Numark Orbit. Maybe you first try to control simple functions - like Blackout... And do some experiments with the "Note On/Off" function in the MIDI settings. I have activated it....
