Can't control Ableton Live 8 with KP3

Post by bratan »

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but Ableton is not mapping any controls to my Kaoss PAD KP3.
I installed latest drivers for Windows 7 x64
KP3 is set to EXT CTRL (Shift+8)
Ableton sees it, and I have these settings in the preferences:

To map controls I click MIDI button (controls turn blue) and select one i.e. Master Volume). I move slider on KP3 but nothing happens. :(

It's a USB Power issue

Nobody knows? :)
Well I found issue, and it's actually must be common problem. It looks like KP3 pad needs a lot of power from USB (why? it's plugged into AC adapter). I noticed that it kept disconnecting while being plugged into a hub built into my monitor. So I tried different cable and then I tried plugging it into motherboard USB port and it works now...
