possible to control KO-Pro with NanoKEYs?

Post by Anonymouse »

I know if you have a midi keyboard and Logic you can control the X axis of the KO-Pro if you make some modifications to the MIDI CC data.

My question is: Is it possible to connect a NanoKEY to a windows based computer and use it to control the X axis of a KO-Pro. If so what software will do this? Thanks for any help.

The NanoKey is the same as any other MIDI controller. The only difference is that it only connects to the computer via USB and needs the power from the computer's USB in order to work. The data is exactly the same so you would use the same software that you would in the first example.

...problem being that logic does not exist on windows machines.
you'll probably need something like reaktor, pure data, max/msp, max4live, or bome's midi translator, as well as some programming experience do to something like that.

or you could just write a program in processing or whatever your language of choice is, if you've got the chops.

frankly i wouldn't bother.
the only interesting thing to me about the ko-pro is the touchscreen. take that away and you might as well be using a synth, which will cost less and be way more versatile in terms of what sounds it can make.
