Issue with Korg Nanokontrol2 and Logic Pro 10.6.1

I recently purchased the Korg NanoKontrol2 control surface to control my Logic Pro tracks in DAW mode. However, I am struggling in order to use it in the "DAW" mode instead of the "CC" mode. The transport buttons are working fine. However none of the individual channel strip buttons including the fader, knob, solo, mute and arm button are working for the individual tracks. As per Korg manual, by default it is supposed to control a set of 8 tracks, and it is shown by a white line marker beside the tracks.

After searching the forum, I found the below post helpful (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250711613#:~:text=Open%20Logic%20and%20go%20to,the%20control%20surface%20setup%20window.), and it actually resolved the problem of using the control surface in DAW mode and the channel strips are working fine. However now the "track" buttons are not able to navigate/select the tracks one by one. Instead, pressing either of the 2 track buttons navigates to the next group of 8 tracks directly and I am unable to switch between the tracks individually.

The Korg latest drivers/instruction also did not help much.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi there,

I am sorry I did not realize this. There are different ways to do this. Let's try this:

Open Up Key Command Window (OPTION+K)

Find the appropriate key command, in this case "Select Previous/Next Track". From here click "LEARN NEW ASSIGNMENT".

Hit the appropriate note/button and you should be good to go. You will also need to set up these for the Mixer (⬅️➡️).

Appreciate the support.

Hope this helps,

Eddie G.

Have you tried learning new assignments for those specific buttons?

Try this:

https://support.apple.com/guide/logicpro/assign-and-delete-controllers-in-easy-view-ctls71c31855/10.6/mac/10.15

In the tracks area, the up and down arrow key selects the track vertically and in the MIXER, the left and right arrows select tracks horizontally.

Hope this helps,

Eddie G.

Hi there,

You do have this software correct? https://www.korg.com/us/support/download/software/0/552/2910/

Do you have the latest drivers installed?

Also, have you tried deleting and re-establishing connection to it in Logic Pro X? Please read this article for more: https://vi-control.net/community/threads/trying-to-set-up-korg-nanokontrol-studio-w-logic-pro-x.92716/

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Thanks so much for your response! Actually I installed the plugin that you mentioned, but it did not help. Even I uninstalled and reinstalled it as per the Korg documentation provided with the plugin software.

https://www.korg.com/us/support/download/software/0/552/2910/

I also followed the steps mentioned in your community forum link, like resetting the device etc, without any luck! Only way it is working is by choosing "Mackie Control". However, the track buttons are not working in this scenario to navigate between individual tracks.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks once again for the help! However being a complete novice to the control surface assignment and "learn mode", I find the link to be too fuzzy. Just tried by going into learn mode and pressing the Nanokontrol "left" and "right" track button and the "up" and "down" arrow key button in the track area. However it messed up the existing track assignments.

Not sure what exactly need to be done to get the track buttons to work as intended.

Thanks.

Hi Eddie,

I must say a "BIG THANK YOU!" to you! Thanks so much! I followed the steps as you mentioned and it solved the issue completely. Feeling so happy! Now am able to navigate through the tracks as well as use the track slider/knobs to control the track parameters.

Thanks.
