Just received the CNTRL:R and am of course delighted.
My coffee here is excellent, just the CNTRL:R Editor makes me livid as it seems to bug the controller for some odd reason.
Initially, the LED rings gave local feedback, once having opened the editor there is no local control anymore, even with LC activated for the encoders, data saved and sent to the controller, same goes for the buttons, no lc possible. Sending MIDI from applications does not bring forth any change in LED display either. Somehow I got it fixed an hour ago and all LEDs reacted perfectly. Then I ventured the editor again and voila: all LEDs were set to zero velocity with no means of changing this. The editor is, however, able to send "All Notes On" and the encoder-sequence, but local control as such does not work.
I have reset the CNTRL:R, rebooted, sent all kinds of MIDI data and what not, the input port is Cntrl_r Controls, the encoders send values but can't receive them.
I have tried the online editor once again with jazz & java all being up-to-date but it doesn't connect to the device at all.
I would really relish some insight on this and of course would love to learn about a technique to tackle it permanently.
thanks v much in advance for help!

If you're using the Ableton script, it turns local control off. That could be your problem....
hi to moon & amounra & thanks for the replies.
perhaps unfortunately, I changed the channel settings for the 4 banks and then saved the current settings to the controller, seemingly with the flawed local control — so now rebooting or factory resetting doesn't work either, stuck with the ill now.
FWIW, make sure you don't have any other MIDI apps going on in the background, this often will hijack the connection.
Hi there. I just got my cntrl:r in the mail this week. Very excited to start messing around with it. I am having the same problem with the desktop editor causing my LED rings to stop responding. I am seeing the exact same error messages as shogun posted in the first photo:
