I get exactly the same thing, unable to connect even though it's in the MIDI panel and working. Not sure what to do now. Shame, is exactly what I'm looking for. Good luck with future work and thanks for sharing.
Is it at all possible to have the lights on the pads of the padKontrol turn off when the C output is 0? I need every pad to be a toggle, when on (127) the light is on, when off (0) the light is of.
