Korg NanoKontrol2 with Overtone

EXPERIMENTAL : Using NanoKontrol2 with Overtone.

To be clear all credit and hard work is that of @samaaron and @meta-ex. I extracted this out of the Ignite project: https://github.com/meta-ex/ignite.

Device Setup

You will need to setup your NanoKontrol2 such that software can control all the LEDS.

1. Download KORG KONTROL Editor http://www.korg.co.uk/support/downloads/nano2_dl.php
2. Set LED MODE to EXTERNAL

3. Write the scene data (this saves the change to the device)

Project.clj

[korg-nano-kontrol2 "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"]

Software setup

You have to pass the button to banks mapping and the for those banks the s/m/r 0-7 mappings.

(require '[nano-kontrol2.core :as nk2])
(require '[nano-kontrol2.buttons :as btn])
(use '[nano-kontrol2.config :only [mixer-init-state]])

(def cfg
  {:synths {:s0 mixer-init-state :s1 mixer-init-state :s2 mixer-init-state :m0 mixer-init-state :m1 mixer-init-state :r0 mixer-init-state}
   :riffs  {:s0 mixer-init-state :s1 mixer-init-state :m0 mixer-init-state :m1 mixer-init-state}
   :master {:s7 mixer-init-state :m7 mixer-init-state :r7 mixer-init-state}})

(def banks
  {:master btn/record
   :m64    btn/play
   :m128   btn/stop
   :riffs btn/fast-forward
   :synths btn/rewind})

(nk2/start! cfg banks)

Control

In order to push the use of the NanoKontrol some buttons are mapped to do different things.

• Cycle -> Enter select bank mode.

  • rewind, fastforward, stop, play and record all select a bank.
  • within a bank mode s,m & r buttons highlighted respresent further different states.

• Marker right -> Refresh state maps

• Marker left -> ?

• Marker SET -> Force all sync

What you assign the banks to is completely up to you.
