Resolume Arena not recognizing my MIDI controller

AntoJ · 2025-04-18T01:13:26+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I just bought a brand new Traktor Kontrol F1. I registered it using the serial number, and I'm sure the MIDI is working — it's fully functional in both the Controller Editor and Traktor Pro 4.

The issue is: Resolume Arena is not recognizing the MIDI input from the F1.

I know that I need to switch the Kontrol F1 to MIDI mode, but I'm not really sure if I'm doing it right.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

For context, I'm using the free trial version of Resolume, downloaded directly from the official website.

Thanks in advance!

Could this be just a Windows PC limitation where one controller port cannot be assigned across multiple applications? (i.e. close Traktor before starting Resolume and vice versa)

Good call Stevan - yes, if Traktor is open and the F1 is connected, then Traktor will have 'grabbed' it.

In VDJ, you can set an 'ignore' flag on MIDI controllers you don't want it to use. I don't know if Traktor can do that.
