did you reboot after removing the FTDI?

seems like the AppleUSBFTDI is present if it didn’t throw an error. still nothing with ls -lrt /dev/tty.usb*?

Yup, I’ve restarted a few times actually.
Getting the same issue with that command as well. Wild right?

#59

well, that command should be blank if there are no results.

what does your screen in System Information look like?

here’s mine:

totally frustrating suggestion: do you have another computer you can test with, just to sanity-check?

I wonder if this is the same issue @fourhexagons was having ? could be another source of input ?

personally been using an older grid with the latest macOS versions for like a year and a half now with no issues, which is why this is such a crazy & frustrating thing

Nothing :confused:
Do you think it potentially its the USB C hub i’m using? (i’ve had 0 issues with this in the past with any data transfer/midi usb devices)

For ultimate reference this is the machine I’m using:

if you’re an ableton or max person there’s a project brewing over here

in the relatively near-ish future this will probably result in an ableton pack of ports of some popular grid-enabled apps from norns

re: laptop vs. norns I’d recommend sticking with whatever option you’re most comfortable with

Also: for fun, I found another USB cable to try. Same issues.

#64

My Walnut 64 grid does not work if I plug it through a hub. Got a USB-C to USB-B cable just for the purpose to plug my grid to my macbook.

#65

Was yours not lighting up when it was plugged into the hub? Or was it not being recognized like mine?

I don’t know if I mentioned but I’m using a 128 Varibright in this situation.

#66

I believe so. Can’t remember. But getting a direct cable worked.

USB hubs are fine generally. they vary wildly in quality, of course.

Makes sense. Any ideas other than trying to avoid the hub??

#72

if at all possible i’d suggest finding another computer to test on, just to double-check the grid (though we test them all here repeatedly).

#73

I may be able to use someone’s computer but without Ableton/max. If I just install serialosc and try those terminal commands would that be enough?

#74

So I have no idea where I found these commands, but I thought I’d search through my command history to see if I could help out here. I’m seeing these:

/Library/Application\ Support/Monome/serialosc.bundle/Contents/MacOS/serialoscd --version

– which is clearly a version check

/Library/Application\ Support/Monome/serialosc.bundle/Contents/MacOS/serialoscd

– which seems to run the daemon

And:

launchctl list | grep serial

– which is just validating that it’s added as a start up item, I believe. (Did I get this for free with the daemon command? I don’t know, but I suspect yes because I don’t see anything else indicating adding it.)

Thought I’d throw this in since I didn’t see something precisely like this mentioned yet.

Edit: I should add that I have a grid and it works fine for me. I’m on Mojave as well.

So - starting to get my feet wet with my grid.

I’ve been searching the threads and haven’t found a great answer on best way to sync applications with ableton live tempo.

For example, using the application Flin or Mlrv, is there any way i can sync with ableton (Without using a max for live application?).

#77

Maybe using rewire? I’m just diving into MLRv2 so someone more experienced may have a better answer.

Here’s a tutorial on MLRv2
