My patch will save you going through all the initial packet communications to get the MK into native mode. You can get straight into the fun part!

Hex fiend should do the trick: http://ridiculousfish.com/hexfiend/ And here's a decimal-hex-binary calculator: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/28871 Making strings in hexfiend and sending them with librarian isn't going to be much fun though, each blink of a light is a string or ...

No i didn't. I figured it out and now just reuse the string. Once the MicroKontrol is in Native Mode you can alter most of the initial setting on a single package basis. If you use Max/MSP your in luck because i've put a primer here: MicroKontrol Primer for Max/MSP It has the native in and out ...

Here's a little tryout with a homebrew stepsequencer i built a while ago in PD and a mfb 502 drumcomputer. A little vague yes, so i'll explain. Bottom 4 pads are changing the pattern on the fly(not waiting for 1st step ala x0x boxes) and the other pads are voice mutes which give visual feedback as ...

Now that you mention it...i do have an emagic mt-4 running alongside a motu express 128 and midipatchbay(IAC) passing midi from Pure Data to Logic which is sending sysex to the MicroKontrol to make the pad lights go flashy flashy when my kick drum hits.. But that couldn't cause any problems could it ...

Updated the driver,
trashed prefs,
fixed permissions

no joy.

Now it even crashes when i try to open the preferences. I'm over it.


Thanks for the effort!

doesn't woork for my microkontrol either. firmware update, powered, hub, no-powered hub,settings, dancing naked in the rain...useless. if it weren't for the wee flashing lights and sysex trickery it'd return to the corner. Oh and the keys suck.People walk in and go "wow whats that!?" I usually say ...

bingo.

i redid my 1st packet. Must've made a mistake initially.

I'm going to get myself sorted and write a similar tutorial to Fat Elvis' for the MicroKontrol.

Ok, so i realised The MicroKontrol has 4 packets for initial configuration. I can now turn all the leds on or off and write text to all the LCD screens, but the singular midi commands(PDF 3-2) are still not working. What confuses me is that the packet commands 1-4 will work even without sending a ...

I've re-approached this a few times. So far, following Fat Elvis' PadKontrol tutorial and applying it to the MicroKontrol PDF, i've managed to get past the "Native Mode in", "Packet Communication 1" and "Packet Communication 2" section. I can get the pads to light up, color the lcd screens and enter ...
