Hi, i just upgraded both the firmware and the control application to the latest versions.
I get the following when I reset and rescan the plugin:

Looks like a permissions issue. Can you uninstall and reinstall? You'll probably need to reboot after reinstalling.

[patrik]

Thanx for fast feedback. I'll try that.

Reinstalling and rebooting did'nt help but since you suggested that it was a permission issue I went ahead and changed the permissions on the MIDI Expressions AU.component.
I changed the permissions from read only to read/write for the group "wheel".

After that it works fine so if you don't see any problems with that solution, I'm happy.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Cheers

I thought I resolved that issue, but I'll have to double check.
