Help Needed with Denon MC3000 controller and Windows XP Sp3.....
Help Needed with Denon MC3000 controller and Windows XP Sp3..... Posted on: 14.03.2013 by Theodora Softic Ok as the title suggest I'm having problems and can't get my head around the problem and I was hoping that one of you guys could help me out before I loose all my hair...lolYesterday I recieved my new MC3000 controller and was really excited to get it up and running as my old controller died at the weekend. So I installed the latest Denon Asio Driver 2.2.2 and also Updated the firmware to the latest version V1005. I have Traktor 2.6 Installed on my PC so I never Installed the enclosed LE software. I set up my audio routing etc and followed the wizard instructions for importing the Tsi, as far as I know thats all I need to do. So heres my problem, when I switch on the controller it does it's light blinking as normal at startup but that's all it does, None of the controls of the 3000 are moving anything in the software, there appears to be no midi signal being sent The CTRL panel on top of Traktor is not illuminating as it should to show midi command being sent to software. I have tried with every Tsi there is for the 3000 believeing maybe it was a bad Tsi but I get the same from everyone of them. Now I know XP is old but it's what I have at the moment and Denon say it can run on my system XP with SP3, I really hope one of you guys can help me out as I'm not getting much info from other community s (Native Instruments & Denon), I can control Traktor with the keyboard so it's a controller problem i recon not software. I really hope someone can help me, If not I need to send the unit back to Germany and thats a pain | |

| Theodora Softic 14.03.2013 | I understood built in web cam for some reason, and as mine is not never gave it a second thought, cheers guys I'm glad i never lost it this afternoon and tossed it out the window.....haha |
| Alphonso Deitchman 14.03.2013 | The problem isn't due to the webcam itself; it's the USB drivers that are installed with it. I wouldn't have expected someone to pick up on the solution from your hint, especially as you seemed to include it in "midi stuff". |

| Theodora Softic 14.03.2013 | Sorted I removed logitech software and everything is now working Mate I can't thank you enough, If you ever come to Mallorca I owe you several cold beers. Makar1 You are tha man !!!!!!! |
| Theodora Softic 14.03.2013 | I have 2 usb ports, 1 for controller and other for external HD. I will uninstall Logitech web cam and see if that helps. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 14.03.2013 | Ok, do you have any other USB devices that you use with the laptop? Could be similar to this problem: http://www.vyzor.com/support/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=186 |
| Theodora Softic 14.03.2013 | I have just been and checked, all usb energy saving is switched off for all. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 15.03.2013 | No MIDI devices detected in MIDIOX, you might want to give the USB power saving fix a try? |

| Alphonso Deitchman 15.03.2013 | Here's another solution that worked for someone using MIDI on XP (option A about power saving): http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/community /...-midi-keyboard If you press the blue socket circle button in MIDIOX, what devices do you see? Maybe post a screenshot? |

| Alphonso Deitchman 15.03.2013 | Have you tried disabling power saving for your USB ports yet btw? |

Windows is not registering the MC3000 as a MIDI device, which could be a problem with XP or the controller itself. You could try downloading MIDIOX just to verify whether or not the controller is sending any MIDI at all. |

| Cassie Sangermano 14.03.2013 | you can change those values to MC3000. Or at least you should be able to. If MC3000 doesn't show up in that list then something else is wrong, and the controller isn't being recognised by Traktor. |
| Theodora Softic 14.03.2013 | For some weird reason no matter what Tsi I use it has ..... In Port - n/a Out Port - All Ports This is wrong isn't it ? |
| Cassie Sangermano 14.03.2013 | Also (as said by slvrdragon50 above) make sure its set to the right midi channel. On my mc6000, i can change channels by holding down shift and pressing one of the 4 little buttons underneath the track browse encoder in the middle. Have a look in the manual, yours is probably similar. Should probably be midi channels 1-4. |
| Latia Sotak 14.03.2013 | This is from memory so i may have some of the terms wrong (not in front of my DJ lappy at the moment), but I remember I had similar problems with my DNMC6000 Go into Traktor / Preferences / Controller Manager. Make sure you've got a midi in & out selected |
| Theodora Softic 14.03.2013 | I have it set as Ch1 & 2 set to master and ch 3 & 4 set to cue as stated in the instruction manual. |
| Gaynell Rydberg 14.03.2013 | I know the quick start wizard for Traktor worked for me when I was setting up my MC3000. The other possibility is that your channels for MIDI are set up incorrectly (using chn 5-8 instead of 1-4 for example) I'm not at home, so I can't comment as to how to check that, but I do remember reading it over on Denon DJ. |
| Theodora Softic 14.03.2013 | Ok I have also just noticed that the connection Icon on top of Traktor is Orange NOT Blue as it should be if everything was ok. I have tried another usb cable to see if that was a problem, tried different usb slots and I get the same result every time Anybody shed some light on this for me PLEASE........... |
| Theodora Softic 14.03.2013 | I'm using a Sony Vaio 1.7 ghz with XP & Sp3 with 2 gig Ram. I know its an old system but everything was working with my old controller. |
| Isa Erik 14.03.2013 | what laptop are you using? optimized? disabled all other midi stuff (webcam etc)? |
