Hi guys, I've just bought a Novation Launchkey49. It works great with Ableton Live, but I also want to use it as a controller connected to my K2. Any idea about how to get it work? When I connected the usb cable the lights on on the Launchkey but can´t get any sound from the kronos playing it. Some additional tweak?

Did you try a midi cable?

The launchkey has not midi out, just a full compliant USB connection.

Sorry, confused with a Novation Impulse - my bad.

Check the Launchkey MIDI transmit channel.

There seem to be compatibility issues specific to using Novation controllers with the Kronos - see these threads:

Thanks, man! Very useful threads.
And yes, the Launchkey does not work with the Kronos.
I will change it for a maudio code series
