Korg Kaoss Pad 3 LED Feedback issue

Post by zero.bondage »

Hi everybody,

I was wondering if maybe someone can help me. I'm using KP3 as an additional midi controller for Traktor along Xone:1D.
When in midi mode, all the buttons on KP3 are on. So I was wondering, since Traktor can output a variety of values related to a certain parameter, if there's a way for KP3 to read those values and behave accordingly. Hypothetically, I'd like for program memory buttons 1-8 to go on/off when a certain thing happens, and Traktor outputs a certain midi value. Or maybe, for sample bank buttons to flash, or at least go on/off like the program mem. buttons.

One more issue, this one not so important. In fact, I'm not sure if this one's even doable. I've set up the touch pad to send X/Y parameters, the usual setup, so I was wondering if it's possible that, when you move your fingers along the pad and than stop pressing it, the red square assigned to that value stays on?

I'd appreciate any help or guideline regarding those problems, especially the first one.

Thank you,
Jan

That's exactly what the HOLD button is for, but I don't know if it works in midi controller mode

okay, you can't control the program 1-8 buttons or the A-D buttons LEDs.

to keep the last touched area lit up you have to send three messages - one to the x-coord, one to the y-coord, and one to the touch sensor. you set the place to be lit, then you tell the screen it's being touched there.

i don't remember the exact MIDI messages to send but i've posted them a few times on this forum so they are on here somewhere.

thanks for the fast reply! I was wondering if you could help me find that post, I've searced throught all of your posts but was unable to find it, and that function would help me a lot :)

one more question, the last one...is it possible to create several MIDI presets so you can switch them during use and have the same buttons send different CC, and maybe have several modes for the touchpad each one on it's preset?

thank you
