The Firmware Update function of the FaderPort is not compatible with USB 3.0 chipsets and will result in an error.

The firmware update utility included in Universal Control has been discontinued.

Universal Control 3.8 will display the current installed version of firmware.

If problems persist consider using a different machine.Plugging in an expansion card may be your best option.You could consider the powered USB Hub option as mentioned above, however if your USB Ports on your desktop are heavily populated, you may have the same issue.This should resolve any connectivity issues as PCI / PCI-e slot has direct access to memory. If it's a desktop, plug a dedicated PCI / PCI-e USB 2.0 expansion card into an available slot on the motherboard.For example 7x Port Powered USB Hub (with 500mA per port ~ 3500mA / 3.5A) should have 4000mA / 4A or greater power supply.Typical Powered USB Hub will have 500mA greater than number of ports.Powered Hub must provide at least 500mA per USB Port.In that case a Powered USB Hub can be attempted.Low power laptops like ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) / Netbook / MacBook Air may not have enough power over USB port to properly operate.If you're not sure if you have the right power supply, you can view / purchase one at our web store:.Make sure the correct power supply is being used.Make sure it is plugged directly into a USB Port on the computer and not through a USB Hub.

(If this is your case, skip to DFU section below to learn more about how to correct) If the firmware has been changed to an incompatible version than what came installed on the unit, the Fader will no longer move. If the power supply is not plugged in, the Fader won't move. The Motorized Fader requires the external power supply to drive the motor. There is an installer to place custom DLL control files in certain DAW programs for the FaderPort to talk to instead of using standard MCU or HUI protocols. The device driver is controlled by the operating system (Microsoft standard MIDI interface driver for Windows) and (Apple has a MIDI Device driver for class compliant operation in OS X), neither of these are developed or controlled by PreSonus. It is a class compliant MIDI Controller with a motorized Fader.

There are no device drivers for the FaderPort Classic. Normal Operation it is a USB 1.1 device.This most likely is happening when Firmware Update is attempted using an incompatible USB 3.0 bus device.įaderPort (Classic) has 2 USB Modes of operation We've gotten reports where the Faderport classic are suddenly losing connection completely where either the top 3 rows or the bottom 3 rows will light up showing ample power through the USB bus.
