Akai Fire FLStudio full of bug :(

[villacarlotta]

Hello

(sorry for my poor english, I'm french)
I just bought a midi interface.
I know that you are all crazy about the AKAI APC 40 MK2 but it's not the midi controller that I need (I don't use Effects, I don"t use layers to mix clips).
I want to have many video clips under my fingers, so I bought the Akai Fire FLStudio with his 64 little pads, which is very good for me.
But the interface does not work !! Or precisely, it works ... but not all the time. I trigger a pattern (bouton), it works, but when I trigger again, it doesn't work anymore.

Is-it my brand new Interface which is broken ?
Or the Akai Fire FLStudio doesn't match with Resolume ?

Thank you in advance if someone has an answer to help me understrant the problem.

The pattern change might change the Midi messages it sends. You can double check it in the Resolume preferences - Midi tab, clicking the small play button on top right.

Thank you for your answer.

I have made the double check you're talking to. Everything seems ok with this double check.

I also have change the USB port of my computer (I've got 3 port. I have try on the 3 USB port of my Mac)
But, that still does not work. Sometime, yes ; sometimes no.

Do you think it is possible that this interface Midi couldn't work with your great Resolume ?
Thank you

If Resolume sees the same message coming in form the same device, the shortcuts should work.
The midi channel, or CC change is pretty easy to miss in the monitor, can you upload some screenshots of the input where a specific shortcut works, and then when it does not work any more after bank change?

Thank you for your answer.
I have send back my midi interface and I'm now waiting for a new one that I just bought yesterday.
A friend of mine, electro musician, who knows better than I the midi interfaces, thought that my interface had troubles.
I hope everything will be fix with a new interface.

Have a good day

Hello,

I must play live in Paris in front of 500 people the 10 december and I would like to have a midi interface that works )
But my Akai Fire FlStudio has bugs every minute
For the second time, I bought an Akai Fire FLStudio, but I've got the same troubles as with the first one.
The problem is :
I can assign all my pattern on my Midi Akai. It works at the beginning.
But when I trigger a pattern (bouton) more than 2 or 3 times, it does not work anymore.

If someone can help me, I send two screenshots :
The first screenshot shows that I have assigned all my pattern.
The second screenshot shows that (for example) the second clip of the Column 3 has "lost" his link with the interface. I did trigger it two or three or four times and Boum, it stops working.

In preference Menu, I have toggle on Midi Input and Midi Output. I have double check in the Resolume preferences - Midi tab, clicking the small play button on top right. Everything seems OK.
But when I want to play my clips again, the problem is still there.

The fader (or rotary knobs) work all the time very well.

I'm in a big trouble. I think that the AKAI Fire FlStudio does not match with Resolume. A friend of mine made a quick trial on LIVE software, using my AKAI controler. And it seems that it also does not work.

If someone has an answer, thank you very much.
have all a nice day

So, I found the solution to my problem :
I had to assign shortcuts target for all my clips to "By Position".
Most of my clips was : "Target - This Clip."
Now the bugs have disappear.

Thank you for the people who tried to help me.

Have all a nice day.
