Topic: Problem with 'new' UFX
Hi,
I just purchased a UFX, NOS (New Old Stock). I've updated the firmware, flash and firewire drivers, and it seems to be working will over USB on my Windows 10 DAW (using mostly Reaper).
I see some strange behavior from standalone operation, in that none of the front panel buttons do anything when pushed. Nothing at all. So the encoder buttons, though the rotary modes work, you can't select anything. The volume control shows you operations for phones devices 11&12, but you can't move to any other output as it says in the manual. Rotary operation adjusts volume for 11/12 but that's all you can do.
Totalmix FX (1.61) seems to work fine, and I can monitor and record through Reaper fine without Totalmix.
The drivers I have installed are the latest I could find for the UFX. USB driver date 27.06.19, driver version 1.168, hardware revision 357. DSP-SW version 1.63. I haven't been able to get Firewire working, though I'm suspicious that is a problem with my interface card on the W10 machine.
I tried to do a factory reset from the front panel, but I can't select the operation because the encoder push button doesn't respond.
Anyone with suggestions on this? It almost seems like a firmware/hardware mismatch of some sort, but I really don't know. The channel and setup/rev buttons when selected the screen is flashing from redraws about 2-3 times per second.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
