nanoKontrol + Ableton Live button toggles

mensch · Post by **mensch** » Sat Sep 19, 2009 5:39 pm

How do I get the buttons on the NanoKontrol to work as toggles and not momentary? I found the Kontrol Editor but setting those buttons to toggle in the editor has no effect in Ableton Live. It's not a problem on the Ableton side as these buttons worked fine on my last MIDI controller -- I was shocked that they default to momentary buttons on the nanoKontrol (and I can't seem to change it) which renders the entire device almost useless for my purposes.

Any advice?

Hi mate, just registered on the forum for the sole purpose of posting a reply, having been tearing my hair out for a couple of hours now on the same problem!

The solution is...

In Kontrol Key Editor, after you've set your buttons to "toggle" and saved your changes, you need to go to the communication menu, and choose "write scene set", to upload the new settings to the kontrol. The buttons will work as toggles straight away, even if Live is still open!

Cheers
