Novation Zero SL MkII - no feedback
Posted: Wed May 23, 2018 6:59 am
Hi!
I have a Novation Zero SL MkII. It works fine as a one-way controller with QLC+ 4.11.2 both on Windows & Ubuntu Linux 17.10.
The problem is that I can get no feedback on the button LEDs from QLC+.
The MIDI feedback is enabled. I have tried to select Note velocity for the output. I have tried to change the channels too (both with CC and Note velocity). The input is coming in on MIDI channel 1. I have updated the Zero's firmware to the newest, but the issue is the same.
The Zero's manual says nothing about it.
I have attached a very simple project file. It has only 1 dimmer channel that turns on/off with the VC button. I also have a slider to monitor it. I have assigned one of the Zeros buttons to the VC button.
If I push the button on the Zero, the Zeros LED changes state and the QLC+ toggles the button. The slider also shows the value. Everything works fine.
If I push it again the same things happen. Everything is fine.
If I push the button on the Virtual console, then QLC+ does the job, but the Zeros LED stays in its last state. The feedback does not happen, so the Zero shows a wrong state with the LED.
If I push the button on the Zero, the Zeros LED changes state and QLC+ toggles the button. But the LED on the Zero is still showing a wrong state.
I have tried to monitor the Zeros MIDI1 output. At startup it send the following command twice (GMIDIMonitor with jack):
Channel 1, note off, C, octave -1, velocity 64
I have tried to attach a USB-MIDI cable. The same thing happens on the MIDI ports. I can have the Zeros output, but still no feedback.
I have tried Windows XP 32 bit & Windows 7 64 bit, with QLC+ 4.11.2 and the Zero. The same issue is happening, so it is OS independent.
