Using a midi conrol surface with any application
Вставка

- Always enveyd music producers and professional video editors with their fancy dedicated control surfaces? Well, I certainly have! A few months ago I bought two mobile midi controllers from Korg to use with my iPad to jam with Korg Gadget, the Nano Key Studio and the Nano Kontrol Studio.
Aside from beeing able to use these as wireless DAW controllers, they can also be used with Windows using the USB connection.
The device that I'm going to use for this unusual application is the Nano Kontrol Studio. Normally you would use it with Cubase but with the right software...... you can make it control any application or your linking!
Some video editing applications such as Adobe Premiere support these "Mackie Control Protocol" devices as well. But only the pro version and not the Elements version that I use.
Enter Bome's Midi Translator.... with this we can make it work with Premiere Elements. But, there are some caveats that I'll explain in the video. It's got something to do with Midi Note-OFF commands.

Great video with lots of useful information, thank you!
Nice. I have ableton Push 1 with pxt general which gives opportunity to emulate MCU. And with Midi translator Push 1 can still be very relevant.
Hey man! Thanks! You are so awesome
Super great video and information. Thank very much.
I'm trying to use the nanoKontrol Studio with Premiere Pro. I've seen others on UA-cam do it, but I can't get it set up right. Have you used Premiere Pro with this device? It is clearly not talking to my computer properly.
I use Premiere Elements and a program called “Bomes Midi Translator Pro”. Elements doesn’t support control surfaces by itself, that’s why I use the Midi translator who converts midi events to keyboard commands. Premiere Pro is quite different from Elements, I’ve never used Premiere Pro.
Thanks!
How to program the knobs? I have a Behringer X Touch Mini and want to color grade with it
whn i set my knob from 00 F7 ( 00 = knob zero, F7 means knob rotated full ) to trigger brackets [ and ] , it dont work and only ] bracket is once "clicked"
Thank you for sharing. If I may ask, when in assignable mode, how many banks of controllers do you have available per scene? For instance, are you able to have a set of Faders 1-8, then switch over to a bank of Faders 9-16? Thank you.
As far as I’m aware you can have all the controls available in each scene. There’s simply 5 different configurations (scenes) you can store and switch between on the fly. I’ve never actually tried out setting up different scenes but I would assume that the faders stay 1-8 but the track buttons normally allow you to go beyond 8 tracks depending how often you tap them. In the DAW, when I have more then 8 tracks, pressing the track button increments / decrements the fader by one track, so that the first fader becomes track 9 etc.
@@dykodesigns Thank you for clarifying. It would be nice if they released an update where you can switch between DAW Mode and Assignable with using the scene function on the fly.
I have a beatstep and use Windows. But No Idea how to map for the Moment. I am new in this. Can you try please to map DaVinci Resolve to get a experience of the first steps of Maping? Davinci Resolve brings an own little DAW with. And in Windows its possible. Please give it a try and show how to do the first steps.
I may have a look into this in the future, I currenty am not familar with Davinci Resolve. I know it's supposed to be pretty good, but I use Adobe Premiere Elements. Does Davinci have built-in support for midi control surfaces? With Bomes Midi translator, you can add such capabilities to any windows application.
@@dykodesigns thanks for the fast answer. I am right new to this all AS well. The i got the Bome translator INSIDE DaVinci Resolve but i do Not understand how to map some First steps AS Hardware i have a beatstep for the Moment and a small Streamdeck. Its my First contact to Midi AS all. And i guess the Most that use DaVinchi Resolve are Not much familiär with Midi. Some First steps in a demonstation will be very usefull. Special with Bome. For Colorgrading and other Things Adobe use for all functionality a HUI protocolls. With a First Video how to map when you have No mapping and learning functionality will be very helpfull. Special If using different Hardware.
@@dykodesigns short Demo but this is a Mac. For Windows nothing exists Like this. The Beatstep IS a midi controler and sequencer. From Arturia Just 82 Euros including shipping from Thomann.
IT comes with a Bundle of anolg sfx Sounds and ITS in the Lightversion enough for all my Life. Work also perfect in DaVinchi 16. And now free MPC Drum DAW. Demo from Japan. photos.app.goo.gl/hcvYRVe8AT4qsNXc8
@@DanielaTocan Hi, were you able to map the Beatstep for Davinci? I'm looking to buy the beatstep for colpr grading in DaVinci too
@@femisuccess124 i did move yo a hackintosh. ITS a longer discussion just for post a complete manual.
I use this controler but why it is not controll my cubase corectly. Can u help me??
Cubase requires some setup and fiddling with configuration in the Device setup. It's called a generic remote / mackie control. I assume that you've got the drivers and the Korg Kontrol editor utillity installed. That's a prerequisite to make it work. Once the drivers work, the Korg Kontrol utillity should see the device. Then in Cubase go to the Device Setup (or Studio Setup) and then Choose "Remote Devices / Mackie Control" and select the Korg Nano Kontrol studio as the midi device under input and output. Then Restart Cubase and it should hopefully work if I Haven't forgotten a step.
Hi i m interessed to it. how to control tracks after the first 1-8?for example if i want to control volume of track 68 what i have to push?
thank u.
In the section with the transport buttons there are two cursor buttons labelled "Track" for cycling left and right through the tracks. Pressing the track right button once increments the active tracks by 8. Faders 1-8 become mapped track 9-16 and so forth, depending how often you press the button. For track 68, you would have to press the button 8 times and then use fader number 4. At least that's how it works in Cubase (in other DAW's it might be different). It's easy to mess up though, you have to memorize the current group of 8 tracks it is on.
Hello, nice video and thank you for the effort. I have a question for you. I have a KORG nanoKONTROL2 and i want to use it with Windows for streaming. I managed to map some buttons with Korg Kontrol Editor but i don't know how to map the buttons PLAY/STOP/NEXT for controlling Windows media buttons. I want to be able to control Spotify with this. Do you have any ideas how i can do that?
I have just tried this with midi translator pro. It kind of sorta works with the volume control, but only on note off events with the buttons. I tried if I could use the jogwheel control change for the physical keystroke emulation, but sadly that didn't seem to work.
Hi, does it remember the fader settings when reopening a session? Thankyou
As far as I''m aware it doesn't remember the fader settings (they are not coupled). It doesn't have motorized faders........
After remapping with the Bome Midi Translator, and close the app, will the remap work permanently? Or I have to restart Bome Midi Translator Pro every 20 mins to use the midi controller?
It works permanently, but you must save it as a preset. Under the file menu you can save it, in the left hand side of the screen you'll see a list with saved presets, provided that you're not using a demo version but a permanent license.
I need help getting this to work with Studio One 4 Pro. Can anyone that can point me the right direction? Video perhaps? (Thoroughly explained)
nice video... can you please please send me the preset for cubase... i can't figure out how to use in cubase 9...
The Korg Nano Kontrol studio appears to be handled as a generic Mackie Control. It took me a bit of fiddeling as well. I forgot exactly how I added it, I just messed with the Device setup / generic remotes and rebooted Cubase a few times and it suddenly worked (Cubase does not make it particulary obvious). The Manual from Korg is rather sparse as well. O Yes, the Nano Kontrol studio must also be set in Cubase mode in the Korg Kontrol editor application. It even works with ableton in cubase mode.
Here's the xml file: drive.google.com/file/d/1se5SQYKwIsgzLlLibfj9L3QyjS5AkHwU/view?usp=sharing
I exported this from the Device Setup / Generic remotes setup window. I don't know if it will work but you could try it.
Anyone knows if this nano control works with GarageBand IOS?
As far as I'm aware, it currently only works with Korg Gadget. It is kind of designed with that APP in mind. I'd be cool if Steinberg could add support for control surfaces in Cubasis.
Ciao , Work Davinci Resolve 17 ?
Don’t know. I don’t use Davinci resolve. It seems to support control surfaces though, Blackmagic design make their own controllers that are rather expensive. I don’t know if they support third party ones.
hey great video. can you help me to set this with cubase ?
thanks
The Korg Nano Kontrol Studio should work out of the box with Cubase.
It requires some setup and fiddling with configuration in the Device setup. It's called a generic remote / mackie control. I assume that you've got the drivers and the Korg Kontrol editor utillity installed. That's a prerequisite to make it work. Once the drivers work, the Korg Kontrol utillity should see the device. Then in Cubase go to the Device Setup (or Studio Setup) and then Choose "Remote Devices / Mackie Control" and select the Korg Nano Kontrol studio as the midi device under input and output. Then Restart Cubase and it should hopefully work if I Haven't forgotten a step.
@@dykodesigns thanks for your response... i follow all the steps .. i install the drive e the kontrol editor i setting as mackie control in cubase and all the other setting but it doesn't work. i see only the fader of the midi signal tu cubase when i press a button on the korg but nothing works no fader control no scrob nothing :( can you help me ? thanks so much
@@lelematt6009 That's odd, it should work. Make sure that in the Korg Kontrol editor, the device is set to Cubase mode (you can set different profiles depending on the DAW you're using). My experience is with Cubase Elements 9. I suppose you have not changed the default CC assignments in the Korg Kontrol Editor? Because it should work with the default settings. Also, check in the "Midi Port Setup"in the Devices list and the Midi input / Midi output in the Mackie Control panel. There are some small differences between Cubase 9 and 10 though in how the menu's are called but the structure is largely the same.
@@dykodesigns it doesn't
work
@@dykodesigns can you help me? Maybe with team viewer if you want and you can.
What are your pc specs for video editing?
The Engineer It’s an old i3-3220 with 8gb of ram. Video used to integrated graphics. I added a GTX 750 TI card (direct-x11) to improve it. The computer struggles a lot with video editing when I do a sophisticated edit. It’s still ususable for normal uses. The case is quite old, it used to house my pentium 4 from 2004. The system was upgraded from pentium 4 to the i3 in 2012 and it was built to a low budget at the time. Couldn’t affort any better back then and video editing was done with moviemaker at the time.
@@dykodesigns im going to upgrade soon from I5-4570 - 8gb ram DDR3 and a gigabit G1. sniper motherboard. Not sure exactly when im going to upgrade, but I could give you my current motherboard/cpu/ram for free if you want (cpu is 70% faster then your current one). If you are interested just tell me :)
Will this work with logic?
Probably, if Logic supports control surfaces. I don’t have any experience with Logic but the NanoKontrol Studio supports many DAW’s. Bear I mind that a lot of DAW’s support the Mackie control standard, so Midi translator isn’t needed in those cases. Cubase and Ableton support the device, have used it with both DAW’s.
it's a motorized ?
Nope, it's a very simple DAW controller, sadly no fancy motorized faders.
Is this work with Photoshop?
Probably, if you manually configure it with Bomes Midi Translator. Basically, you have to assign each keystroke to a midi event on the control surface. It's not something that works out of the box, it requires some experimentation.
