Pro Tools 8 can´t see Axiom Pro under Peripherials - Midi Controllers menu. RESOLVED!

[jiveman]

I just got my Axiom Pro 49 today.

I can use it right away as standard Midi Controller.

But I can´t set up the hosted Hypercontrol feature.

When I click TYPE under Peripherals/Midi Controllers all I see is:
-none
-Command8
-Hui
-Motormix
-SurroundPanner

My system is PT HD 8.01 - OSX 10.5.5. (Axiom conected via USB in Mac Pro).

Something I may did wrong:

-I inserted the Installation Disk, and clicked on the "open me" icon and followed the instructions to install the drivers for Pro Tools. Just then, I read at the manual that it was NOT necessary to install any drivers if you are on version 8. I checked to see if there´s a uninstall option, but it is grayed out.

Thanks for any help!

Ok, after a lot of google I found the answear:

The installation disk is tricky, it kinds makes you assume that you need to install the drivers.
So if you are on PT8, don´t install it or Hypercontrol will not work.

A) I'm glad to here its resolved.

B) I wish more people would append the title of their post when a problem is resolved.

I have the Axiom Pro 61 and I have to turn it of every now and then and take it away from the peripherals and then put it back. Once a week or so. I run PT8.0 cs3 HD accel 3 on a G5.

It's a great keyboard compared to the Keystation 61 that I had before. The controller features are great too, but after working PT with a mouse and shortcuts for more than 10 years it takes some time to get into the new possibilities...
