A Pro 800 issue...ANY help??

I just upgraded to X2...my A Pro work perfectly in X1. So far I cannot get it to do ANYTHING at all. I am able to contol the A Pro within X2 via the A Pro interface, but using the A Pro to control anything in X2 is a no go. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted the controller and readded it, etc...and still NOTHING. I have also reset the controller to factory and that did nothing. Am I missing something here? It is connected via USB. Any ideas orhelp would be GREATLY appreciated! I love the unit and X1 was awesome, but I'm having a rough start. I am running Windows 7 64 bit if that has any baring on it...thanks in adavance!

    The only thing I can say for now is that my A-Pro 800 controls X2a (Essential) perfectly on Win 7 32 bit.
    You don't seem to be doing anything wrong, but let me ask these just in case:

    When you launch Sonar, does the Act button on the A-Pro light up and the display say "Receiving"?
    Which preset do you use in the A-Pro control surface plugin? Does "Tracks/FX/Synths/Utility 2" work?

    I will have too see if it does...I don't believe I remember seeing it say that. I am guessing that would mean that it is not installed or configured correctly?It's just strange, because I was able to make it do whatever I wanted in X1....I will check again when I get home from work...thanks for responding. I will get back with you!

    Frostysnake,

    1) In Preferences, midi, control surface do you have the A-PRO set correctly:

    Control = A-PRO
    Midi in = A-PRO 2
    Output = A-PRO

    2) In Preferences under midi what devices do you have selected (sorry no working question mark on this laptop).

    In changing to X2 I did a clean install on a new machine and had similar problems with A-Pro. I found that with midi in also selected from my VS in preferences - devices it created conflict with the A-PRO control. Removing the VS as a midi in device resolved all my problems and the A-PRO now works exactly as it should.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,
    Phil

    OK...it is not saying receiving on the A Pro and I do see the midi icon in the task bar light up when I do anything with the controller or within X2...I'm lost here...

    OK...well for some ****ed reason there were 2 input drivers...A Pro 1 and A Pro 2...Well..logic would tell one to go with A pro 1...WRONG. A Pro 2...if anyone can explain this to me, I'd like to know, as I have spent 2 hours over the course of 2 days trying to figure out why this thing would not work...I feel a little stupid. :-\ Thanks for the help guys! I would be lost without you guys to help me along! David

    Frostysnake - A-PRO 2 is the control surface midi in. Correct set up is:

    Control Surface = A-PRO
    In Port = A-PRO 2
    Out Port = A-PRO


    is it working now (again sorry no question mark)


    Cheers,

    Don't feel stupid.
     
    For months I kept the little plastic bag with the A-Pro manuals in it close to hand, with the sheet showing the A-Pro, A-Pro2, A-PRO facing outwards, as I kept getting this wrong.
     
    I think I've finally remembered it now, but still keep that little bag in the top drawer of my desk..
