My first question is are you running XP or Vista? Vista tends to run ALOT of background items that cause things like skipping and poor midi response. Vista also is very poor at prioritizing what to run and what not to run. I would do things: 1) CNTL-ALT-DEL to pull up your system monitor. See what's running on your computer and shut down processes that are not vital to your performance. Most common is virus protection and wireless connection trying to connect and overriding the priority. 2) Check your drivers for the model. I've found that this usually solves most problems. Rollback the driver and reinstall. I realize that this is a task done before or after the gig and does nothing for the initial problem. But it tends to not happen again. 3) Plug your controller in with an A/C adapter. It seems silly, I know. But I've had my controller shut down because it was trying to take power from the USB where I also had my mouse and HDD connected.

We are having a similar problem. just switched to mac and so far have had nothing but issues with midi synch. So using a wireless midi network to link the 2 macbooks each with a firebox and a controller. Last night while recording a set we were jamming out just fine then half an hour into the set the UC33 just will not send any signal to the mac. If I turn the power off and back on again it messes up the synch between the two computers and we have to stp and start again to get back on track. Why would this do that? has anyone tried the powered USB hub fix? I have been told to remove the uc33 from the list of controll surfaces and just select track in the prefrences and not remote? I have not tried this yet but its becoming very frustrating.

Since my last post I had the uc-33 drop out at another gig (btw, for this show, gear used was Macbook pro, moyu ultralite, and uc-33) I power cycled it and it picked connection right back up. Then about 15 minutes later my whole laptop froze up. Audio stopped, graphics froze, and no trackpad or key response. Had to hold down power and hard reboot. SO Im not sure if the two things were related at all but Ive never had that happen before. And I can't remember if i had repaired permissions before the gig or not and that could always have something to do with it but pretty unlikely. Last night at a gig I was using the akai mpd32 along with my x-session (and motu UL) and twice durring the set my akai lost midi control. After searching some forums today I saw people having the same problem with the trigger finger on a mac and everyones solution was to get a Powered usb hub and plug into that. I really dont want to have to add to my gigging setup but if it will potentially fix the problem then I guess I might have to.

Mine lost control of Live the other day, but I wasn't able to restart it. Turning it off and then back on didn't do anything...

will look forward to hearing you throw down with the UC-33 Manuel, perhaps we'll have th opportunity to flow some confluence...

good to know... i just bought and used the uc-33 last week-end and it worked greatly!!! but ...i'lll keep in mind that it has its little bugs...

I just had that happen to me at a gig last friday. My uc33 Just suddenly stopped responding and I was not able to re assign anything in ableton's midi map mode. It didn't have anything to do with presets or anything. There was just no data being sent from the controlls at all. Luckily I was running two seperate outputs into the house dj mixer so I was able to finnish the set only using that. Pretty weird though. One thing that I didn't try in the heat of the moment was to switch the uc33 off and then back on again. But later I tried this as a test to see if ableton would loose midi connection upon uc33 power off and on and it worked. So it looks like it is safe to at least try turning it off and then back on while you're in the middle of your set.

I used to have to deal with that a lot with an Akai MPD16, once it took my Trigger Finger with it. One thing that sometimes seems to be at fault is the connection to the device isn't quite as secure as it seems. The cable feels tight, but it either moves or vibrates just enough to get too low a voltage or otherwise break the connection long enough for Ableton to no longer recognize it. A little gaffer's tape to secure it during a set could rule that out. Another weak point from a hardware perspective is the seam of the solder on the connection in the device cracking. Pressure one way or the other breaks the connection. Happens more often on encoders or faders though. That one can be ruled out right away buy applying a little pressure to the connection from every angle. The readout will go dead briefly. I was thinking of replacing my MPD24 with that, I hope it's not a common problem. Aside from reloading the firmware, if it has any, I can't offer anything else. Best of luck, Phat.

Please. Not that old saw. Phat has been giving his system a workout for years, suffice to say he knows his platform.

Are both of you on PC? I've never had this issue on my Mac, but they are plug and play, so that might be why. I just got a UC-33 (for $7 BTW...wooohooo - gotta love geek garage sales) and have not had this issue. Please let me know if you can recreate it and I'll see if I can on my machine and we'll see if it's Windows based only or universal. I've been thrilled w/ mine for the last few days. I hope I don't start getting this problem. It's really a joy to use.

... I have a similar prob. w/ my Novation Remote SL... if I change the template/preset, Live loses track of it... I have to do Live's preset dump in order to get it back... maybe you're accidentally changing the preset/template...

i'm thinking about buying that machine to go along with ableton 6 anyone have something to share???

anyone else have problems with theirs? i am using ableton on a PC and sometimes when i am doing the live PA the uc-33 totally bails and i have to restart ableton. might be hitting a key by accident on the uc-33 or something. but then none of the presets bring it back to where it was. really don't care to repeat this on tour this summer. anyone have any suggestions?
