I bought it 2nd hand and it worked for a few hours. I installed the package of XOT to use the E1 as a remote in Ableton Live 12 and that worked very nicely. All banks are empty, except Bank #6 that has the Ableton Live Mixer (Alt) in it.
I did install all the Ableton device presets through Disk Mode and that worked very nicely as well.
This morning I turned on my little home studio, including the powered hub to which the E1 mkii was connected. After about an hour I actually sat down and there was nothing on the E1.
It doesn’t show up anywhere in the Windows 11 Device Manager (not HUI Devices, not Sound, video and game controllers, not in Universal Serial Bus devices), doesn’t respond to Section1+PowerON, Menu+PowerON or pressing the recessed button next to the DIN Midi port.
I tried different USB ports on my PC of which I’m certain they work (i.e. my Osmose can use these ports with out problems)
I swapped the USB cable from the one that came with the unit (about 2m long) to a USB cable of an external Hard Drive (about 1m long).
Hopefully there’s still more that can be done?
Thanks for a great device, when it worked, I was really happy with it.
