I am finding the following - I am delving into using the intuous here for the first time, and have downloaded the latest intuous drivers (xp) and the latest kyma version (7/16).

I am getting some strange results. I have finally gotten everything to work rather inconsistently, but I keep on setting the pen end to use for keyboard events and it changes back to the eraser preference after a few minutes?! (I thought that it was my imagination the first couple of times) I also find that when I have a sound running, the wacom mouse often stops functioning. I do everything set up per the instructions (buttons disabled and eraser set to eraser in the control panels).

The keyboard event pen examples work ok, but the controller ones have not been working as is. I generally have to go and mess with the mappings to get a result. I'm just trying the pen x travels through granular presets w/reverb sound, and the only mappings were pen x to focus, pen y to delay, and there was no audio. When I tried to edit the mappings, the mappings window became unresponsive. Now no Kyma windows will close, and I'm going to have to force quit.

Even when the sounds have several mappings, they don't work (no response from faders and no sound) until I remap them. When I click on one of them all of the mappings disappear (this has happened several times) and I can then remap them, and the mappings work.

I'm giving up. Spent the last couple of hours trying to get this to work, and had it working just briefly enough to see that it does work in theory, but that there seems to be something very wrong here, possibly with my brain.

And well you shouldn't be After reading this again tonight, something clicked and I went back to the pen status window. Now, you'll have to cut me a little slack, because my vision just isn't what it used to be. But, what I read last night in that preferences drop down in the pen status window was 'pan'. Not that it made too much sense to me, but I was so involved in trouble shooting why the preferences kept changing, among other things, that I didn't question it...ok - well one silly user trick explained.

Everything seems to be working, but I am puzzled about one thing. In the examples, the mappings for controllers are simply not set. In order to get the examples to work, I have to set e.g. pen x to map to pen x, pen y to map to pen y, etc...now the comments fooled me initially, because they suggested to me that these were already mapped. But, why wouldn't they be in examples?
