Since installing 3.6 my Digi/AVID JLCooper Joystick stopped working.

I have a little midi monitor program running confirming that the controller data is getting to the system but PT doesn't recognise it anymore. It does work sometimes after a fresh reboot of everything but will stop after a while.

Can this be EC3.6-related? Does anyone have this combo who can check?

Thanks!

Frank.

[EddieJones]

Did you check the prefs in PT are still set correctly ?

[Frank Kruse]

Yes, took it out and put the Joystick back in under peripherals several times.
Midi is positively flowing to the OS. MidiMonitor confirms when I move the stick.
Also Spancontrol on iPad for Spanner seems to randomly crash since I installed EC3.6
All worked fine under the previous version. Didn't change anything else.

Thanks

Frank.

[EddieJones]

The easy check is to uncheck EUCON in peripherals and see if it comes back. Also quit EuControl.

[Frank Kruse]

Tried that, doesn't help.

Strange thing is LEDs on the Joystick reflect the pan window opening/closing in PT but the rotaries and stick are not recognised neither or button presses. So the joystick gets info from PT.

I think the incoming midi to the joystick works but the midi going to PT isn't recognised my PT. The OS however sees both.

Strange...

[Frank Kruse]

After trashing all prefs incl. Midi, I got the Joystick back to work. Now all rotaries and buttons and the stick work but none of the control LEDs. So everything is the other way around than before. But I can live with that.

Hi! Would you help me to find out when the IPad Pro 12.9 will be supported?

Thanx

[EddieJones]

The 12" ipad does work in landscape mode but not portrait, which is what is needed for it to fit into the Dock's mount. I don't have a date for it to work in portrait mode unfortunately as its a complete rewrite.

With regards to the 2 knob pan setting, got it working here which is great, however it seems as the setting is not saved with the session, i.e. I have to turn it on every time I open a session? Is that the expected behaviour?

Thx,
JR
