I have found setting up the Korg NanoKontrol 2 and keeping it working with Logic, both unintuitive and unreliable, but your instructions have been extremely helpful. Your setup instructions meant that I had a system that was working very well until I upgraded to Monterey, and then the arrangement with the NanoKontrol 2 stopped. I have just set it up again, again following your instructions in this video, and once again the setup works. I now have CC control again using the sliders and knobs and, amazingly enough, all the transport controls started working without my having to go through the 'learning' process. So a very big 'thank you' from me.

Extremely helpful video. Thank you! Question...I just updated to Monterey and the nanokontrol2 sliders are controlling the mixer faders in Logic. I have the sliders on the nano set to control a CC value for, for example, modulation. The nano does stop moving the mixer sliders if I delete it from Control Surfaces in Logic. I'd prefer not to have to do that every time I open a new session. Can you help? Thank you so much!

Important: mine did not work until I went to LogicPro->Control Surfaces->Set up...->New and uncheck "Automatic Installation" menu, BEFORE the nano is plugged in. Otherwise, Logic kept adding the nano as a Control Surface over and over after your uninstall steps. Hope this helps. Ran me around for hours after your steps still didn't work. Thanks for the help.

Thanks so much Gh0stwrit3r for this superbly informative explanation. The only problem I have is that, despite choosing 'No' when asked if I want Logic to auto assign the controller, it still seems to add it to the Control Surfaces Setup automatically. Then none of the CC values work and the transport buttons turn red. Do you know of a way of preventing this from defaulting to this set up? If I manually delete the NanoKontrol 2 from the Control Surface Setup then it works as you described. But this a pain to have to do this every time I open Logic.

Not sure what you mean Mark. So I give you my best try., If you did an auto assign when starting up Logic and you need to reset this, you probably need to delete all files and settings like I have showed in the video. So a clean install. To my knowledge, you can't assign the sliders to the channel sliders like that. Those are linked to each other when the KORG is in mix model. Hope this makes sense.

I want to be able to select a track and use the knobs and faders to manipulate plugin settings, will this work and how do I find the CCs to assign them! \m/

Hey! This video is very good for setting up nanokontrol 2. I have 2 problems though. First, I didn't receive the message to auto-assign when I fired up logic( I opened up an existing project). Secondly I received the message in the korg kontrol editor which says "korg kontrol editor cannot communicate with the device while it is in korg native mode. Please quit the application that uses korg native mode". When I move the sliders they don't affect the sliders on the interface of the given sample library. Please give me advice to solve this issues. Thank you in advance!

A very helpful, clear and detailed video. Unfortunately, however, it still didn't work for me in Catalina. Initially, I thought it had, but after a little wile I realised that certain sliders and pots were not working at all. I mean: dead! I use the NK2 particularly for VSL's Synchron player and all Kontakt libraries, but I found that certain cc numbers simply would not work at all. Absolutely incredible. I went back to a back up of Mojave and verified that the unit worked 100% in that OS, but, for some bizarre reason it fails in Catalina. Even MIDI learn fails on certain sliders or pots. Equally strange, I loaded up a Spitfire instance, as described, and found that the vibrato (cc 21) didn't work, but instead it had "moved" it to cc17! Utterly inexplicable! I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Korg software, etc., many times, but it just won't resolve the issue. So now, in Catalina, I'm sad to say I can only use it partially. I've also tried changing the USB port. Nothing. But, anyway, your instructions are great. It's nothing to do with that. Thank you.

If you activate “learn CC” in your DAW you can assign the different faders, knobs etcetera to that specific CC setting. That will always work. Default CC settings in most orchestral libraries are CC1 for modulation, CC11 for expression and CC21 for vibrato. You can find them in the manuals of the libraries.

Loved your video. I wonder if you would expand and add something about how to use the other buttons like solo, mute, record, select. The ones located vertically above the pan knobs in each strip on the nano. I would love to be able to selectively mute or solo groups of tracks from my Control surface. Can this be done? I I am a legally blind person with Low Vision. It was very nice of you to describe all the things that you did instead of simply pressing buttons and expecting the viewer to see and read everything on screen. Again, I hope there is a method by which I can assign the mute, solo, record and select buttons while still remaining essentially in the assigned mode instead of going into the dah mixer approach for logic.

Hi Mark, did you already solve it. You should not have to plug/unplug every time. Logic should remember/save your settings. Let me know, maybe I can help you out. Greets, David

I was thinking about buying an active controller to help me out with some compositions, but looking at the price I skipped these wishes. Nevertheless a very informative video. P.s. I might contact you for advice about installing a new motherboard & CPU using a cloned SSD and the existing data. It would be a nightmare if I have to install all my libraries and VST's again.

These devices can indeed be really expensive. I love the Monogram for example, but it's nearly 400$! Way too much for me! I could pick up a Nanokontrol for less than 50 euros, more in my budget range. If you have any questions about a new motherboard or CPU etcetea, throw me a line. You know how to contact me. Happy to help 👍

Hi Sergi, I'm not on Big Sur with the iMac I use for music production. Still on Catalina to keep my system stable. So I can't help you with this one.

Mine works on M1 Air with Big Sur, but I can't change the CC values with the editor, I get "Failed to open the MIDI port" UPDATE: I found the problem, the editor software has midi settings -- I needed to select nanokontrol2 there -- poke around in menu and you will find. Otherwise, I did not have to do anything special to get Live to recognize -- just the usual in preferences to enable the device in the Midi section.

@@rickhood The editor software is incompatible with Big Sur. So, how did you get to manage to install and run that software on your Mac?

After SO many headaches messing with my NanoKontrol Studio, the issue turned out to be a bad cable... For anyone struggling, please try that as well.

on manual tehy say to use only the original cable, very strange

Logic DAW mode of NanoKontrol 2 gave me cancer, but I love the CC mode :)

That doesn't work for me. I can't change CC number, the mouse won't click on it, nor the + button change anything. I restarted the Mac, but that doesn't change anything either. Any ideas?

Same for me more or less. The field where you change the number looks like it is not working but in the slider graphic above it, it does look like it changes the CC. But I cannot write the change to the device: "Failed to open the MIDI port"

What OSX version do you run? If you’re on Catalina like me and you have followed all the steps, it should work flawlessly.

I'm sorry, I don't use FL Studio. So I don't know how to make it work in this DAW.

I shall never ever buy anything from Korg again. What a pain in the ass to install

It's a pity that your video has become irrelevant for Mac OSX Big Sur users, as Korg hasn't updated the Mac version for ages...

Sadly true. But, someone in the comments mentioned a solution for Big Sur users. You could ask what he exactly did.

@@gh0stwrit3r i’ve owned my unit for years and used it on windows during that time. Just brought a brand new M1 Mac with Monterey and loaded the control editor and the plug-in and it seems to work beautifully. Didn’t even have the problem about automatically having the unit mapped against my will. The only thing I haven’t figured out is how to keep this in cc mode while assigning values to the record, solo, mute and select functions above the pan knobs on the NanoKontrol. If anyone can figure that out for me, I would really be appreciative. I was able to program cc one, 11, 21 and others with no problem. Also record, play, stop without any problem.
