Korg Nano Controller as a surface

[Brian]

Has anyone any experience of using a Korg Nano Controller as a surface to control volume and pan in tracks

basically to the work together ?

Which specific model are you referring to?  

The setup for the nanoKONTROL is different to the nanoKONTROL 2  & nanoKONTROL Studio.

Hi,

 

I havent got either yet but it will be a  nanoKONTROL 2   I was just making sure it would do what I wanted and work with CW

 

Many thanks Brian

1. First you need to put the nanoKONTROL 2 in Mackie/SONAR mode by holding the set marker and rec buttons while connecting the USB cable from your computer.

2. Within Cakewalk, go to Preferences->MIDI->Devices and ensure the nanoKONTROL 2 's MIDI input/output are checked:
 

3.  Go to Control Surfaces within preferences and add the nanoKONTROL as a Mackie Control surface: 

Note: Make sure it's "Mackie Control"  - NOT Mackie Control XT or Mackie Control C4



 

4. Click OK on this dialog, and the main OK button on the preferences dialog to save everything.

That's pretty much it for the nanoKONTROL 2, giving you control over transport, volume & pan.

There's a few other shortcuts available using the Cycle button as a shift key:
