Two launchcontrol XL does not work at the same time

Post by NxKmn »

Hello,
First of all, I apologize for my horrible English.

I have Twice LaunchControl XL.
Separately they work perfectly.
But resolume detects only one if I connect the two together.

I also have 4 Launchcontrol, he works great at the same time.

Why resolume detects only one Launchcontrol XL?

Thank you for your help :D

Natively, Resolume doesn't support using the exact same MIDI controller twice. This is because it gets confused when two devices have the same name.

That doesn't mean it's impossible. You just need to rename the second device. Both Mac and PC have their own workaround for this.

For Windows: Here you can find instruction on how to do this. Although it's shown in an older version, it works the same for windows 10.

On Mac: open up Audio MIDI Setup. Open the MIDI studio via "window" in the top menu. Now double click on the name of the device you want to change. type a new name and you're set.

Keep in mind that you will need to set the controllers to send different Midi commands as well!

Hello,

I tested your method, It didn't work for me.
But now, on Device Manageer, i have two different Name, Chosen by me. LaunchControlXL1 & LaunchControlXL2

On resolume, I still have only one launchcontrol XL detected. With original Name : Launch Control XL.

I understand why my 4 Launch Control (Not Xl) are detected and work without problems at the same time.
Novation's Automap software, which I use for Launchpad, installs specific drivers for launch control (Not XL) and each is detected separately.
Without these drivers, only one Launch control is detected.

But nothing for Launch Control XL. It is the generic driver that is used.

I did not find a solution.
Finally, I invested in Bome's Midi Editor.
The two controllers work together.
And Bome's brings new possibility.
