Top Left button LED only?
Top Left button LED only? Posted on: 25.04.2010 by Li Katterhenry i'm not sure how to safely reset this thing. from what i've read, having only the top left button lit means the Midifighter isn't being recognized as MIDI device? also, the usbaudio.sys file is nowhere to be found. | |
| Melania Wollenhaupt 24.05.2010 | I don't seem to get a light show. Well not like before anyway. before was a 1-16 button LED chase then a tiny flicker, then presto. now all i get is a tiny flicker from all Leds as i plug in and then the top left LED lights up. we are talking milliseconds. not like the boot up light show. I'm running a MAC BTW. Any ideas? Cheers |

| Melania Wollenhaupt 20.05.2010 | I Am Having the exact same problem. only top left LED lights up. not nice flashing light boot up seq. just a brick right now. please advise on how to re flash or Reboot to got to factory default. cheers |
| robert chanda 14.05.2010 | I really don't know what to say. The fact that the LED is lit (and I assume that the Midifighter goes through it's power-on lightshow before leaving LED#1 on) tells me that the Midifighter is functioning correctly. Any LEDs lit means that the firmware is running. Without a detailed dump of the USB chatter between the Host and the MF, or a screenshot of the MF device as it shows up in the Windows Device Manager, I can't really help any further. Describe what you mean by "It doesn't even show up"? Take me through the steps one by one, starting with a description of what plugs into what, how many other USB devices you have attached and to what, tell me what lights flicker, what appears in the Device Manager and the exact order you are trying to plug things in. Let's sort this one out, it sounds like there's something to learn here. |
| Li Katterhenry 10.05.2010 | Midifighter is no longer showing up on my computer, even as an unrecognized device. I've plugged it in to different systems and used a different cord, all to no avail. |

| robert chanda 03.05.2010 | LED1 (top left) means "USB unconnected". LED2 means "USB enumerating". LED3 means "USB connected". LED1 on means that your USB host attempted to enumerate the device and failed. The computer asked the MidiFighter for it's USB Descriptors and failed to find a driver for them, so it shuts the MF down. Assuming you are on a Windows machine, you need to make sure there is a "USBAUDIO.sys" file in your %WINDOWS%/system32 folder. You should also check your Device Manager for unassigned USB devices (icons with a red "X" on them). Select and delete these devices, then re-attach the MF to your PC to try again. |
