On paper the features are good but ...

A after my purchase Novation has decided to develop the drivers! Impressive decision probably motivated by the arrivéee Vista.

They sent me the beta version of these drivers and installed as soon everything started to function as it should have done from the beginning! Magical and incomprehensible. How can a company like Novation to market a product as immature and unable to do what it is designed? Why wait so long to recognize that there is a problem and implement corrective actions?

UTILIZATION

Installation problems. This thing is supposedly Class Compliant which means that there is no need to install any drivers ... in theory.

The controller appears in the system when connected via USB, but invisible in all other applications (Sonar, Cubase, software conf ,...) which means it does not control anything USB on my PC in any case. The only way to use it and use the MIDI OUT. What sucks for a USB interface!

J uses Windows XP SP2 .... Their assistance has been so far unable to give me a valid explanation ... ... and the manual is very vague in terms of setting in the various applications.

I feel it will soon have returned on the merchant .... and I would not be surprised if other than me had the same problem!

OVERALL OPINION

Waiting for Troubleshooting ... but no experience when it works right the first time, it's not a good sign!
