Are you using Windows Vista or Windows XP?

there's lot of people with the same problem, i've been usgin a faderfox and now with 1.8.1 it seems serato doesn't recognize it.

i'm using windows xp sp2

How about you djnos2000? Are you using XP, as well?

Same here....

Windows xp and Trigger Finger

SL 1.8.1

I can also confirm the issue with the KORG Pad Kontroller. I had to use Ver 1.8.0 last night in order to use it. I am currently using Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Any ideas?

Hey Djnos2000,

Are you using Windows XP too?

Hi guys,

We've identified a problem in 1.8.1 where if the controller is not plugged in and identified by Scratch LIVE when the program starts then MIDI stalls for some reason, it won't load the mapping or allow a device to connect in order to remap it. It may depend on some other conditions but that's what we've seen so far...

I have a couple of questions for you - Do you plug your MIDI controller into your computer before starting Scratch LIVE, or after? If you plug the controller in, and then start Scratch LIVE does it work properly?

I usually plug in the MIDI before I begin opening Scratch Live 1.8.0 but 1.8.1 doesn't seem to work... I've tried all methods on making it detect and nothing seems to work.

i use mac 2.4 osx10.5.3 and serato 1.8.1, and had same problem with trigger finger. on my nights with my buddy i always have my serato on before we switched spinning. then usb from TF always plugged into port nearest to lcd screen and serato usb pugged into the other. my tf won't work suddenly along the way when i spin. funny thing is that i also have 1.8.0 installed and same thing happened when i swtiched to 1.8.0.

my solution to this was to (in the midst of my set) either on 1.8.0 or 1.8.1, unplug the usb to my midi and plug it back in after 5 secs. sometimes it work and sometimes it doesn't so i'll just repeat the process.

oh btw, i had 1.8.1 installed due to the usb dropouts that was a big problem with 1.8.0.but i had that sorted out before upgrading to 1.8.1 + x10.5.3, after recommendations to change the display settings.

i always have my midi controller plugged in before i start serato and it doesn't work.

i tried in another laptop with also windows xp sp2 and midi doesn't work neither.

Hi Samuel,

What type of controller are you using?

hi again guys....played at the club last night for 2 sets of 45minutes each. this time nothing happened to my TF and everything ran smoothly. running on 10.5.3 with 1.8.1.

I have the same problem.
I am running SSL 1.8.1 on a dell inspirion with vista home edition and the korg padkontrol. SSL doesn't seem to recognize the signals.Its odd because It(padkontrol) works fine with all my other programs. I ve tried every thing I know.nothing seems to work.

Have you tried the 1.8.0 version of SSL? If not, give it a try and let me know if you have any luck.

got it . works fine now. probably is a bug

Look for a fix in the next update. We should have it nailed by then :)

Same problem with Axiom25! Used to work in older version, in newer Serato doesn't recognise it! Using Vista and it does work fine with my producing programs, so it's def a Serato issue!

For now, revert back to the 1.8.0 version if needing to map other controllers.
