Using nanoKontroller2

n-Track Studio Discussion Forum

As I mentioned in another post, I’ve been struggling to get my nanoKontroller2 to play nicely with n-Track. I assumed it would just be a case of using MIDI Learn on the transport controls, but e.g. the default Play assignment (Toggle playback) results in it starting and stopping a second or two of playback repeatedly. So I assigned it Play/Stop and it almost works as expected, except that it plays a couple of seconds, resets to where it was and then plays normally. Also, I’m assuming this is also related - the more I use the nanoKontroller2 buttons, the less responsive n-Track becomes, where I’ll start it, the play cursor does not move but it will actually start playing the tracks audibly. After pressing Stop and Rewind (which I have assigned Rewind to 0), it usually starts behaving as expected.

I’ve tried various things, such as installing the Korg drivers but when these are active, n-Track does not even recognise the nanoController2 as a MIDI device. I’ve also tried starting up the nanoController2 in DAW mode (as opposed to CC mode), but this just results in the buttons playing notes :thinking:

Are there any instructions on how to use the nanoKontroller2 with n-Track?

TIA

Hi Ian,

there is a preset configuration for the nanoKontrol, you can select it clicking on the “Choose preset” button in the Settings → MIDI faders/control setup box, does that work for you?
We have an old nanoKontrol2 that I’ve just discovered has a broken connector. I’ll test with it as soon as that’s repaired in the next few days.

Hi Flavio

Many thanks for the reply - I hadn’t noticed the preset, now I’ve selected it the nanoKontroller2 seems to be working exactly as expected :slightly_smiling_face:
