FaderPort 16 issue with CbB not solved.

[wolfstudios53]

My celebration was short-lived.

When I made use of the Hui option, then,my faders worked.

But.........when I tried the rest of the Faderport 16, nothing else worked.

Switching back to MCU/Sonar option, everything worked again except for the faders.

I do not recall when the Hui option was added to an update, but there must be a correlation between the two.

So long as it's configured properly the FaderPort 16 should work fine with Cakewalk. I'm sure @msmcleod could give you some pointers, but I run the Faderport 8 with the standard MCU mode and it runs fine on my end.

@wolfstudios53 - you also need to make sure the Faderport itself is configured for SONAR/Cakewalk, not just the MCU/Sonar option within Cakewalk.

Thanks Jason and msmcleod for the response.

My Faderport16 has worked very well for a couple of years.

I have had the configuration for Sonar/Cakewalk and MCU/Sonar option set with no problem in the past, but as of 4 months ago, the faders on my unit quit sending information.

This is not a hardware problem because it works fine in Studio One.

Setting up the configuration for Hui, the faders work , but the rest unit lost all control.

Returning to the Sonar/Cakewalk and MCU/Sonar option brought back the control to everything,  but the faders lost control again.

The pan controls work bidirectionally, as they should, but the faders only receive information. 

Please advise!

Just adding to the above information.

I have added  rtpMidi to the list that performs like Cakewalk/Sonar. All functions work except for the fader control.

I tried Cubasis 13 and it works as well as Studio One. Everything works!

What possibly can I do to get my faders to control the track volumes in Cakewalk/Sonar?

Please advise!
