A MIDI remote script for use with Ableton Live 10 and the KORG nanoKONTROL.
-
Go to Releases and download the source code. There are two versions available depending of your preference about the behaviour of the top row of buttons (toggle/momentary)
-
Extract the contents into a folder named nanoKONTROLMyr and copy it to "MIDI Remote Scripts" folder within your Ableton Live application folder (C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 10 Suite\Resources\MIDI Remote Scripts on Windows).
-
Open your Korg nano series editor and load the preset within the NanoKontrol Presets folder, over-writing your previous settings.
-
Select nanoKONTROLMyr as a control surface in the midi pane of the preferences window.
Scene 1 controls tracks 1 - 8 Scene 2 controls tracks 9 - 16 Scene 3 maps the encoders to the selected device and provides functions for moving tracks and devices. Scene 4 is free for mapping to whatever you like, sending on midi channel 4.
The Ninth Slider is Always mapped to Master Volume, regardless of scene or midi channel. The Ninth Encoder is Always mapped to Cue Volume, regardless of scene or midi channel.
Transport functions only work when receiving midi cc numbers on channel 16. Different functions are called when in session view and arranger view for some of the buttons. The Loop button acts as a Shift to allow more functions to be called with the other transport buttons.
Loop = Shift Play = Play (Scene Launch when Shift held) Stop = Stop (Stop All Clips when Shift held) Record = Record (Overdub On/Off when Shift held)
Session Specific Rewind = Scene Up (Scene Up by 5 when Shift held) Forward = Scene Down (Scene Down by 5 when Shift held)
Arranger Specific Rewind = Cue Position Left Forward = Cue Position Right
The Encoders map to the Pans of the tracks. When sent on different midi channel numbers they map to different tracks. Channel 1 maps to tracks 1 - 8 and Channel 2 maps to 9 - 16 etc. When sent on midi channel 16 they map to the selected device. This works in conjunction with the pads and buttons sending on channel 16 which provide functions for moving track and controlling devices.
The Sliders map to the Volumes of the tracks. The tracks they are mapped to changes with the midi channel they are sent on. Channel 1 maps to tracks 1 - 8 and Channel 2 maps to 9 - 16 etc. There is as yet no function for when they are sent on channel 16, so they are free for mapping as you wish.
The buttons on the top row turn Tracks On/Off. The Ninth Button on the row acts as a Shift and when this is held the other buttons Record Arm the tracks. They function the same as the sliders and encoders in that they map to tracks depending on the midi channel. However, when sent on midi channel 16 the buttons select and view tracks 1 - 8 mapping the encoders above to the first device in that track.
The buttons, or pads, on the bottom row Trigger Clips. The Ninth Button on the row acts as a Shift and when this is held the other buttons Stop the relevant clips. They function the same as the sliders, encoders and top row of buttons in that they map to tracks depending on the midi channel. However, when sent on midi channel 16 the buttons provide various functions for controlling devices.
Button 10 = Track Left Button 11 = Track Right Button 12 = Device Left Button 13 = Device Right Button 14 = Bank 1 (When ninth button is held Bank 3) Button 15 = Bank 2 (When ninth button is held Bank 4) Button 16 = Device On/Off Button 17 = Clip View/Device View
