MIDI Controller issue - HELP

jrohan01 · #1 03-22-2008, 02:50 PM

I am having issues getting my MIDI controller (M-Audio Oxygen 8) to work on my laptop. I have a Compaq presario and use Windows XP. I went through and installed the drivers, but I still can't get it to work. My main goal is to use the controller in Ableton Live. Does anyone have any suggestions?

does the keyboard power up ok?

I only had problems with M-Audio products.

A Oxygen 8 , a radium61 and their prokey88 all went down on me.

(twice for the Oxy8 )

Won't touch M-Audio anymore with a 10 feet pole

As superbassman asked does the KB power up? Do you have it plugged directly into the laptop or to a hub, if a hub try it directly into the laptop. Does Windows see the KB in its list of USB devices connected. You have to make sure Windows is seeing the KB before worrying about Ableton seeing it.

Weird! I just plugged my M-audio into my laptop today and it just worked without installing any drivers!

Thanks....it powers up, and windows says that "the device is working properly", but it's still not working. Any suggestions?

That's strange. When you say it doesn't work what exactly do you mean ?? Is it not being recognized by Ableton ??

Ableton Live 7 has a preset mapping for Oxygen controller too... which is nice

It will recognize it in Ableton for a note or 2 and then just stop recognizing it completely. Also, I downloaded a program called MIDI-OX and the same issue happens, it recognizes the controller when I hit a key or two and then just stops recognizing it. If I uninstall and reinstall the drivers/hardware, it will work again for one or two notes, but it keeps stopping.
