Q: Mainstage is reading my buttons together instead of separate.

I use the M-Audio Oxygen 88 MIDI controller with Mainstage 2.  When I try to assign a screen control to a button on my MIDI controller, it reads the buttons together so that every button performs the same action.  I don't know if the problem is with the hardware or with the software, or if I am simply not doing something correctly.  I have followed all the instructions in the manual.  If anyone knows what the problem is or why it is happening, that information would be greatly appreciated.

MainStage, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    I suppose I should specify that the buttons that it reads together are in a row so that each button corresponds to a fader above the button.

    Hi

     

    Sounds like the controller keyboard is sending out the same MIDI messages for each button?

     

    You need to check what messages are being sent from the controller, and make sure that they are different for each  button/fader etc. The easiest way to do this would be using the MIDI activity monitor in Mainstage, but there may be an editor program for the Oxygen that wouldl help (or the 3rd party MIDI Monitor app).
