Hello,

Did you try the 2.5 driver for Twitch ?

2.5 driver was already installed. Reinstalling also did not work. If i use serato without the twitch connected everything works as expected. Also no problems on Windows 7.

Im having the same problems

i have reported to Novation and hope they will release a Driver update soon, have everyone tried Itch witch Mavericks and Twitch?

Same problem here with a MacBook Pro and Twitch but have to say I've been experiencing same problems with every single upgrade on OSX I've done since I bought it.....

WE Need a NEW NOVATION USB DRIVER for Maverick.

Twitch is only flashing red touchstrip but cant see it on any program on any PC, is not communicating or recognised via USB, but gets some power evidently.

Cheers.

I had this problem, but it was my usb cable screwing up, not the twitch, have you tried changing the usb cord?

Tried it with a different usb cable but that did not help.

Found this page on the Novation website:


global.novationmusic.com

Apparently it's a USB driver bug. They are working on it.

Try diff cords and same resultas, re install drivers, etc etc ect.....

Well my friends, they have to.... :-) New USB driver on the wishlist!!!

Hope they fix it soon.

Cheers

Hmm very strange, tried itch 2.2.2 on my MacBook Pro (2011) with mavericks and played 2 Hours without any Problem

mfshva7, which driver dis you used for information ?

oups... which driver version did you use ?

2.5 from the Novation Site, i updated from 10.8 to 10.9

strange strange....I tried many times, same driver....same OSX....and no results just the red touchstrip flashing light.

Whille I was doing the OSX upgrade the Twitch was still working fine, I could see lights on like when mixing with Traktor. When Installation was done, sound was chopped off and didn't sound OK at all......after restarting Twitch was gone and didn't come back.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for pointing this out,


On a Mavericks machine here at work I have had no problem connecting and using the TWITCH. There may be a way around the issues you are experiencing.

Try increasing your USB buffersize to 10 or 20. Also make sure you go through these steps as well: serato.com

Let me know how you go,

Sam

Will try Sam GG, answered the other posts, lets see what happens.

Cheers.

Sam is not even communicating how am I going to adjust buffer size?

Sam,

Tried all the settings you suggested but did not make a difference. Also sounds more like a workaround than a real solution. (Although i really do appreciate the help. ;-))

Also maybe worth mentioning i have a 13" mid-2010 Macbook Pro,

I too have a 13" mid 2010 MBP and whilst I've not upgraded to Maverick yet, I may be able to help with this.

What I tend to find is that if you plug the Twitch into your MBP before opening Serato-DJ (the Twitch touch pad should partially light up, but the Twitch itself won't go into full "operation") then load Serato-DJ after this then usually it'll connect up and work ok.

Apologies if this doesn't work for you, just one user trying to help another with what has worked for me in the past. I tend to find if I connect the Twitch with S-DJ running it won't function, but if I connect it first then it's fine. However I'm still sticking with Mountain Lion whilst I await confirmation that Maverick is fully operational so it may not work on your OS.

Hey Guys,


This is correct, this is more of a workaround. The real fix I believe will be an updated driver from Novation :)

Sam

Tnx Sam for your help so far. And Rated, i tried your suggestion but unfortunately that also didn't help. Mailed Novation Support to ask for an ETA on the driver. If i hear from them wil let you guys now.

I upgraded to Mavericks and had the same problems-very slow staggered track loading, super slow stuttered play back. I installed the new novation 2.5 driver and it works fine BUT i have to reinstall the driver every time i open Serato. So my problem is half solved. Im a bit worried as I'm DJing for 250 people in a week and this problem isn't filling me with confidence i must say. Ill try the suggested thing too.

Hey guys,

Just a thought, some users have experienced better performance after completely uninstalling the Novation drivers and using the TWITCH as a class compliant device. Let me know if this works for you,

Sam

hey Sam, how do you do this?

Are you using Windows or Mac?

I'm gonna hazard a guess he's on a Mac since this is a thread about Mavericks...

Using a 2010 MacBook Pro and I am not sure which driver I am using right now, but I updated to Mavericks and I cannot use my twitch at all

Same problem here. Getting a little frustrated! Can't use my twitch at all with any software (e.g.. Serato and Virtual DJ). With the silly season coming up (read Xmas parties all round) I need a system to use. This is really disappointing. I know that Apple may not have released a beta of Mavericks to software and hardware developers, but the problem should have been rectified by now.

Does anyone know if it is possible to roll back the operating system on the mac without losing all my valuable data?

As far as I'm aware a rollback isn't possible via Apple's own means. If you keep backups of you hard-disc (I'm always concerned about OS updates so tend to do a full hard-disc clone using CCCloner before doing any updates these days) then you could clone-back to Mountain Lion which is what I did after I realised that Mavericks was currently incompatible with the Twitch at present.

Incidentally, having had a good play with Mavericks and the Twitch/S-DJ I'm convinced the problem is purely with the Novation driver rather than at Serato's end. DJ itself seems to run fine using other controllers on Mavericks, it's just the Twitch itself which seems to have the issue (at least when I tested it).

Thanks for the info. I have decided to buy another internal drive (rather than run a virtual machine or from and external for speed reasons) and instal mountain lion to use for gigs. Not a great solution but may have to do until there is a fix.

As Novation have stated on their website: global.novationmusic.com the novation USB driver is not compatible with Mavericks.

If you open up Macintosh HD > System > Library > Extensions, find the NovationUSBAudio.kext file and move it to your desktop. Now try rebooting your machine and running Serato DJ again with the TWITCH connected.

Sam

Sam,

I tried this but Serato DJ only opens in Hardware not connected mode. The hardware connected screen shows for a brief moment, however it goes back to not connected and shows Error- Cannot connect Audio in the bottom right corner of Serato Dj.

Sorry but no dice. Thanks for trying though.

Have you tried removing the device from the MIDI presets window and then connecting the device again?
