Nanopad and Torq problem

Post by CS5n531 »

Hey, great forum from what I've read so far!

Today I bought a Nanopad from a local dealer, but it is used. I'm having a problem where only my X-Y pad will work and none of the velocity pads will, and I'm not sure if the problem is because the product is used/broken or if there is something for me to do on my end.

I use an Xponent with Torq and it works wonderfully. Once I installed the (1.12) Nanopad drivers and plugged it in, Torq recognized the pad as a midi device instantly (keep in mind, I'm on Windows 7). To assign midi keys in Torq, you right click on a function and then press the midi button that you'd like to assign it to. For instance, if I right click on a knob, it will turn red. After it turns red, I'm able to touch the X-Y pad and assign the pad to the knob - it works perfectly. Again, the problem that I'm having is with the velocity pads. None of them respond and I cannot get them to work at all with Torq.

I've read that I have to change the Nanopad from sending CC and it must send Notes, which I tried changing in the Korg Kontrol Editor with no luck. Here is a picture of what I see in Kontrol:

I'm not sure what to do. Is there something that I must do on my end? Or should I return this broken piece of hardware. Please help me as soon as you can so that my return policy doesn't run out!

Thanks so much!

You have to click on each pad and set 'assign type' to 'notes' or something similar, then you can set which note each one transmits. Do this for each pad.

Then you have to transmit this scene to the nanopad.
