Hi, i bought a Faderport V2 (single fader) in these days and i use it on Ableton. I noticed one thing, On "Master" Mode, the encoder works bad for the master volume, when I decrease the volume it seems to work good, but when it's time to increase the volume, the encoder starts to give random values between -16 and -8 (more or less). Not so good if I'd like to control my daw while working.

Other things that i think it's worth to repair for a firmware update:
- Arm doesn't work in "Exclusive" mode as like as "Solo";
- "Click" doesn't trigger the Metronome but the punch in point, it could be better if it triggers the Metronome;
- "Link" button seems to do like nothing;
- Encoder steps on "Pan" could be a little bit larger;
- RTZ buttons and "Scroll" mode move the cursor only about 1/4 bar on the grid and it doesn't align with the current grid on the arrangement (like 1/8 or 1/32 steps);

I really hope to see a firmware update soon because i'm not finding my self good in working with this type of controller.

I noticed exactly the same problem while changing the master volume: The values jumps up and down while turning the encoder.
