Problems using KP3 as MIDI-Controller

[louiehammer]

Hi folks,
as this is my first entry in this forum i'd like to apologize for my bad english (i'm german) right from the start. I decided to post this entry after having searched desperately for 2 days to fix problems i have to use the Kaoss Pad 3 as a (second) MIDI-controller for Traktor Pro.

At the moment i manage to send MIDI commands to Traktor in the "ext.ctrl" mode of my KP3, but i'm not able to use these 8 led faders on the touch pad as seen in the following video:

(even if the guy in this video is using abelton, it should be also possible to manage doing this with traktor)

I know that i have to use the "KP3 editor" to change the MIDI-settings and transmit them, but when i've transmitted the information and reboot my KP3, nothing has changed, eventhough i got the newest drivers. (by the way there is another problem i have: windows vista does not recognize the korg midi usb driver, so i had to transmit my MIDI-settings via my old xp-computer).

So, my main problem is to get the 8 led faders in "ext.ctrl" modus to work.

Thanks, Louiehammer

to get the 8 faders, switch to program 4 in external control.

if your kp3 doesn't receive transmit messages i don't know if there's much i can do to help...

[salamanderanagram]

haha oh yeah, and you have to press shift + 8 to enter external controller mode.

thanks, got it now.

but now traktor isn't recognizing my kp3 anymore...

[salamanderanagram]

i can't help you with 'program x won't recognize the kp3.'

[louiehammer]

ok, didn't expect an answer on that one anyway...

posted my new problem now into the traktor forum.
