I have the MKII, which is my favourite of all I’ve tried (original, Mini, MKII and MKIII). I really didn’t like the MKIII very much (at least with my basses).

Really want to check this out. How does it compare to your mini?

Did you also delete all config files and the (hidden) stuff in the local app data folders? delete any residual FI-related files and folders in the Windows Program Files folders. delete the "FuturelmpactEditor" directory under the path"c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\" delete the "FIEditor4" directory under the path "c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\"

Sorry to hear of your struggles. This is most unusual. If the manager isn’t reading the files, but the editor messages are being received, then it sounds like the problem is that the response message from the FI isn’t getting back to the PC. Have you definitely selected both the in and out ports in the editor and connected both cables? Go to midimonitor.com (with the editor closed). Plug FI into interface and change programs using FI’s foot switch. You should see the PCs being sent in the MIDI monitor, which will confirm that the out port is working. Have you tried using a different usb port on your machine? One other thing - you used to have an FI v3 right? It could be that some residual files from the v3 editor are somehow interfering with the v4 editor (though unlikely). Might be worth checking that all old install files and associated config files are removed. Another thing might be if your Volt (or its software) is taking charge of usb MIDI ports in the background. Also may be worth making sure the generic windows usb MIDI driver on your machine is the latest one.

I’ll consider a reasonable offer on this. I could really do with selling this (and a few other things) as I’ve been signed off with stress due to my son’s mental health issues and will go onto half pay at the end of next month due to having already had so much time off for cancer treatments! It’s forcing me to take a hard look at my gear. -
That was what I was getting at in my previous comment. Sounds like a combination of the Windows single-USB-MIDI limitation along with a complex set of interface controls as opposed to an FI problem - the same issue would occur with any other app that needed access the USB MIDI connection in this scenario.
-
I’m sure there must be a setting in there that needs altering, maybe the time stamps one as presumably reaper isn’t in use when using the FI. Does Volt use any extra virtual ports or something? (My MC6 pro does so I have to make sure I select the correct one.) Also, it appears that the MIDI ports are active in the volt app; that being the case, windows won’t allow them to be used with anything else. Try disabling them in the volt app and see if they still appear in the FI list. I tested with an interface that looks identical to this and it worked fine: https://amzn.eu/d/hC65j9C

Could be a combination of issues. Did you try swapping the cables round when attempting connect to the editor? Do this without putting the FI into update mode. Select the in and out ports from the MIDI preferences menu, connect the cables and then move some sliders in the editor. You should see two horizontal lines in the FI display. If you don’t, swap the cables to the opposite ports and try again. If you do see two lines in the display, it shows the connection is working. Another thought - make sure your interface has any MIDI thru functionality turned off - a MIDI loop would cause problems (with any interface). Is your interface plugged directly into your pc or is it using a usb hub?
-
We tested loads of cheap generic interfaces during development and everything worked just fine. This was precisely to make sure the problems of v3/interface compatibility weren’t present. If the interface is showing correctly in the editor then I still maintain something else is afoot. Is there an app for your interface? If so, and there’s the option, make sure sysex messages are enabled. I’d be happy to help troubleshoot over video call.
-
If you are using Windows, make sure there are no other USB-MIDI connections open.

Ports probably the wrong way round.

A wee bump. -
Cool. Shame you never tried the others so won’t be able to describe what’s different. Please could you upload some clips of the sub signal at various tone knob and overdrive switch settings if you are able.

New band discovery for me today. I’m glad record shops still exist!

Source Audio C4 Synth pedal, £160 posted - *SOLD*

Bargain pedal from a reliable seller. -
Ted just bought my old digital piano. Couldn’t have asked for an easier transaction. He messaged this morning to say he could collect today and a few hours later he came and did just that. Really nice and friendly guy with clear communication throughout. I’d have no hesitation in transacting again and can happily recommend him to others. Many thanks, Ted. I hope you get many years of enjoyment out of the piano.

Sold pending payment/collection. -
My friend has now bought himself an 88-key controller with poly after touch so no longer has need of my spare piano. I don’t really have space to store it so could do with selling soon.

Not had them side by side to compare and my memory is a bit impaired currently.
