Logic Pro X 10.5 with Presonus Faderport 16

Question

Logic Pro X 10.5 with Presonus Faderport 16

Hi there - love the new update.

However, since 10.5 the Presonus Faderport 16 no longer functions correctly. The option to select the input port is disabled, so now the Faderport will update from actions within Logic Pro but will not respond to the control surface.

Attached is screenshot from 10.4.8 showing input option for Presonus Faderport 16 Port 1, but this is not an option in 10.5

Can anyone else confirm this is a problem for them?

this is 10.3 (for example, it was working fine right until the last update to 10.5) - there is an option in the dropdown for selecting input from Presonus FP16 Control Surface Port 1.

and this is 10.5 - no such option exists and so Logic receives no input from Faderport 16.

UPDATE - FIXED - just going to leave this here in case anyone else runs into it.

Basically the update disables by default some of the optional MIDI inputs. You can re-enable these in the Preferences under MIDI - Inputs. Working 100% again. Cheers!

I too had the same problem. Computer manipulation within Logic Pro X 10.5 changed the Faderport, but Faderport manipulation did squat in Logic. But your fix wasn't my answer. I simply deleted the controller in the Controller Setup, and when I started Logic again it apparently recognized the Faderport and did all the work for me. Now it works.

So there's another solution to the problem.
