Anyone using X3 or X2 and a Faderport?
This was one of my Christmas gifts from my wife  I wonder how she knew I wanted it!? haha In any case, I got it hooked up and ran the installer, it works fine in S1, the problem is S1 so far just pisses me off as a DAW (we'll save that for another thread sometime) I want to use this cool new toy in Sonar but sonar does not recognize the Faderport. That is to say it does not show up in the drop down list to choose it as a controller. I have done the research 1st and found the issue & the subsequent fix I found was that you had to copy the faderport.dll into C:\program files (x86)\cakewalk\shared surfaces then run a windows command prompt to register that by typing: regsvr32 C:\program files (x86)\cakewalk\shared surfaces\FaderPort.dll All over online I can find people who had this problem , did this procedure and it fixed it for them.... I have no such luck. I get the error//response/message * The module "C:\program files (x86)\cakewalk\shared surfaces\FaderPort.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllregisterServer was not found. Make sure that "C:\program files (x86)\cakewalk\shared surfaces\FaderPort.dll" is a valid dll or OCX and then try again. Any ideas guys? I am lost at this point and don't want to keep poking around in admin mode and mess something up.

I use it all the time - it works great, but it's been a long time since I set it up. I don't recall if you need to register the faderport.dll or not. Anyway, if it does need to be registered (as with any ocx), it must done in administrative mode, or it's not gonna work. Usually, you run cmd.exe in administrative mode, and then anything you run from there is also done in administrative mode. Other than this, you need to make sure the faderport ins and outs are checked in midi devices, select the faderport under control surfaces, and assign to faderport in and out ports to it.

SuperG- I understand that I will need to assign inputs and outputs in sonar to use the faderport, but first.... I have to get sonar to acknowledge the faderports existence as control surface at all. Trnfoot- Those are the same steps I am talking about above. I found those same instructions in multiple places on the web and while that seems to work for most, it is not working for me. Apparently I am having some issue outside the norm and I don't do computer tech enough to know what to do next.

I had a similar problem that I couldn't fix until I enclosed the file location completely in double quotes. regsvr32 "C:\Program................ \faderport.dll"

Don't forget to run the cmd line as Administrator.

Looks like you're either registering the 32 version of the faderport dll if you're trying to register C:\program files (x86)\cakewalk\shared surfaces or you're placing the 64 bit version into the wrong directory. The right folder for Sonar x64 should be C:\program files\cakewalk\shared surfaces. FWIW, faderport works great here under both x86 and x64 versions of Sonar X3d but I had to hack the one of the dll's to get it to work in both, before hacking it, it would only work in one or the other because both versions of the dll are named the same thing.

It certainly sounds as if it's a an OCX registration issue. You could try unregistering it, followed by re-registering it. If it's correct, it'll be listed as Presonus Faderport in the control surfaces preferences. Also, just to be sure, you indicate you're using the 32-bit version of Sonar by virtue of the sharedsurfaces directory location.

I thought (see I am soooo not a tech guy when it comes to computers) the x86 denoted 64 bit (which I never understood anyway) and that the 32 bit was under the general file.? For instance 64 bit = c:\Program files (x86)\cakewalk\ yada yada..... 32 bit = c:\Program files\cakewalk\ yada yada.... Right? or are you telling me I have that backwards? to that end.... where we have to type regsvr32.... Does that need to be regsvr64 or regsvr86 for the 64 bit version? I at this point have no intention of even loading the 32 bit version of X3 on my computer at all. PS. this forum rocks and you guys are awesome! ...Just so you know. Thank you all.

I'm sorry Chuck, c:\program files (x86)\ is the 32-bit path - the other one is the 64-bit path. Hope this info gets you on the right path! The Sonar denizens here are always happy to help!

I feared the other day that something like that might have been the case however.... The faderport currently doesn't run in the 32 bit version of X2 either. I will try again tomorrow. I know everyone here is always ready to help and I really appreciated it a few years back as I was learning basic function/methods etc. I haven't needed as much help (good lord I am not trying to sound cocky, as I know I have much more to learn....) in the past year or two and have found myself in the "happy to help" camp more often that the "guys please help me" camp far more often than not... So it's easy to loose sight of how freaking great the members of our little forum are to each other. It's a cool community and I am happy to be a part of it!

I finally found that post and the video you mentioned above. http://forum.cakewalk.com/Faderport-not-working-with-X1-Cannot-complete-regvrs32-m2935732.aspx That guy "benduncan" was having the same exact problem and getting the same exact errors I am getting right now so this leaves me hopeful! I will give it a shot in a little bit. I will update later on my progress. Thank you!

Update - With Some help from Chris over at ADK: I have gone through and uninstalled the faderport, Started over, Ran the installer, copied the sonar x64 dll into the correct folder (c:\program files\cakewalk\shared surfaces) I then went into admin mode again and I finally got a successful registration! I was happy and thinking I was almost done.... I open Sonar X3 I go into devices and assign the faderport I/O, I then go under control surfaces.... and get everything assigned as required, Channel aftertouch/key aftertouch etc... The Fader port jumped to unity gain and lights came on & as though it was being feed by sonar (like it does when I open S1) and I was happy to see that. Then I open an existing project and Sonar goes grey..... Perpetually (thinking) trying to open the project. Any project (doesn't matter which), I have to then Control+alt+Delete and use the task manager to end sonar.... If I remove the faderport dll file from the c:\program files\cakewalk\shared surfaces directory I can then open sonar, and load any project in seconds and work straight away... but no faderport.... Put the DLL back..... Sonar won't load any projects, it just seems to lock up. Oh and at this point S1 isn't picking up the faderport anymore either.? Sonar see's it but is getting Fubar'd by it somehow and S1 no longer Sees it at all. Maybe a bad Dll file? or driver? This thing is a monstrous PITA to get working in Sonar! Giving yourself a root canal would be easier and more fun.

Log entry, star-date ..... Adam at ADK helped me out a ton because those boys are the bomb, and got my faderport up and running like a champ in X3 64 bit, x2 32bit, studio one etc. but no motorized fader at all now. Presonus support sent me the link to a page in their knowledge base about the known issue of the most recent firmware taking out the motorized fader. I down load and install the alternate firmware update and largely she is good to go, fader is back, and it all works as expected in most projects. I have 1, a rather large project in Sonar containing around 31 or so tracks, a bunch of plugs, and existing automation etc. When I try to open this recently finished project (which I'll be honest ... it always takes sonar a minute or so to get that one open because of it's size) it starts to do it's typical load procedure, and the faderport starts jumping up and down to various seemingly random spots.... and this seems to go on indefinitely.... the track never opens, Sonar keeps on thinking away, and the faderport is going nuts but it doesn't open. I then have to Cntrl-Alt-Delete my way out of there after waiting 4-5 minutes for it to load in vain. Is that typical behavior? IS the Faderport just reading information in the project before it opens? I have searched the knowledge base and forums and haven't found anything on it? I then opened a small project with 3 or 4 tracks in it and noticed on start up the faderport hoped to about 4 spots as it opened so my suspicion is that it's trying to read through all that freaking automation first?
