I have a similar issue with Avid Artist Panel (aka Euphonics MC Color) the first time I start the application after power up, I have to set a different it peripheral, save, then set it back to the Avid panel to get it to respond. It does that in v8, also, so I assumed it was an issue with the panel, not Resolve.
