Korg NanoKontrol Studio maps
Hi,
Saw an older thread reagarding mapping, etc for the NanoKontrol Studio without much resolution.
I've just picked up one of these and have created the keymap and cc mapping to make it compatible for Reaper.
This gives you 5 banks of 8 channel controls (40 channels total) using the Scene button to scroll through.
Fader and Pan are set to soft takeover (is, no sudden jumps in value)
FFWD and RWD are set to the 'fwd a little bit' and 'rwd a little bit' commands
Jog wheel is set to fine scrubbing
Markers, cycle, and transport are as you would expect (Press play twice for pause)
You can find the files on the stash or use these links
cheers

Korg NanoKontrol Studio
Hi Kerr,
I was thinking about buying the NanoKontrol2 but now prefer to get the larger NanoKontrol Studio.
I know nothing about setting this up but have downloaded your .rar files etc.
Could you please post a quick description of how to install these files into Reaper? Or point me in the right direction to a Youtube Tutorial or something.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
Was hoping to do a tutorial type thing but haven't quite got to it yet!
In Reaper, go to Actions -> Show Action List
Then Import/Export and find the keymap file you downloaded.
Import that and it will add the necessary keymapping to Reaper (without changing any of the other keymapping)
In the Korg Kontrol Editor, go to File -> Open
Load the reaper set file (from the Rar package)
Then Communication -> Write Scene Set to transmit it to your Nanokontrol
You can Load the Global set (through the Global Menu) too if you wish, but as long as you've set the NanoKontrol to 'Controller Mode - Assignable) then the rest is just as default.
Let me know how you go
Kerr

Korg NanoKontrol Studio
Hi Kerr,
Thank you so much for your reply and info on getting going on the NanoKontrol Studio. I have just order it from Amazon. It takes quite a while to get here but a good price. Once it arrives I'll follow your instructions and let you know. Quite excited about it.
Thanks again!
Paul

nice one Paul, don't think you'll regret it. For a cheap (ish) controller, it really helps workflow.
You never know, by the time it arrives, I might have a video up!

Kerr thank you so much for this post! I wish if you could only post it one day earlier, I'll explain why:
One day before your post I bough nanocontrol studio, I use windows 7 64- bit...I installed midi driver which I previously downloaded on Korg's website, with no problems. But on the other hand, I just couldn't find a way to use this device and map it in Reaper, even though Reaper recognized device in "MIDI devices"!I guess this problem would be easily solved if your post was already online that evening
But here comes the hard part...I decided to reinstall driver for nanocontrol studio, I tought maybe this will solve problem of using it in Reaper.
Since than, I lost hours and hours trying to reinstall driver again, but when I check device in "Devices and printers", it says "driver was not successfully installed", while device status says "windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device".
I tried removing driver from control panel before reinstallation, but this happens every time I repeat installation...I really don't understand because when I did driver installation for the first time, I installed it with no problem! But now, I just can't do it again...
Please I would appreciate any suggestions regarding this matter, thanks in advance!

I just managed to finally install the driver again!
I followed everything you wrote, I definitely see changes on device after writing scene data, but even tough I imported your file to Reaper, I still can't control it...
Any hints maybe, what am I missing?
Thank you.

hello guys, I'm hesitating to pay 75$ for NanoKontrol 2 or 200+ for 1 PreSonus Faderport
Do you have a good experience with your Nano Kontrol? is the fader range sensitive enough to replace a mouse move?
and does it integrate well?

Many thanks
Many thanks for this great work. Icing on the cake is the soft takeover. Non motorised faders have always been a turnoff for me but this great piece of work works like a charm. Again thank you.

Hi Kerr,
I know this is a bit of an old thread. I was able to get everything set up on my own (via Kontrol editor and Reaper actions) the way you said except the jog wheel.
How did you set it for fine scrubbing in Reaper?
1. How is it set in the Kontrol Editor?
2. Which action is it assigned to in the Reaper action list?
thanks so much!

Hi,
I have the Jog wheel type set to sign magnitude on a CC (82) and then in the Action list, I have the Transport: Scrub/jog fine control set to that same CC
have a look at the pictures attached, should make sense I think
cheers

Thanks so much for the information. The wheel was set to continuous in Kontrol Editor, so that was the problem I think.
I just tried what you said, and it is working. However, when I turn it counter-clockwise, it scrubs faster than when I turn it clockwise. Is that the way yours is too?
Thanks

Hmmm ... strange. Let me double-check to make sure I have all the settings the same as yours again.
Edit: Ok, I got it now. In the Edit Shortcut, I had to set the MIDI CC to Relative 3, and now it's working. It was set to Relative 1 by default, and that was giving me the lopsided behavior. Thanks so much!
One more question:
What do you have the "Cycle" button set for, and/or what is it normally used for?

Oh, and one final question. I'm assuming that the lights for the buttons on the NanoKontrol Studio don't always correspond to what Reaper is doing correct?
In other words, if you mute track 1 for instance with the NanoKontrol Studio and then press the Scene button, that mute button light on the NanoKontrol Studio will go out. If you press Scene four more times (so that you're back on Scene 1 again), the mute button on the NanoKontrol Studio won't light up again (to correspond with track 1 being muted in Reaper), correct?

I use the cycle button for 'toggle repeat' in the action list. Which repeats the time selection on the timeline. Useful for loop recording or running through ideas over the same section of a song.
In terms of the lights, yes you're right. The lights will not always correspond to what you're doing simply because they're programmed for one press on, one press off. And if you move to another scene, it wipes the light status memory.
The only way round it is to code an actual editor script for the nano itself (like there is for cubase and logic, etc) instead of just using midi ccs and the reaper action list.
cheers

That's what I figured. Writing that kind of code is quite a bit above my pay grade, so I'll just deal with the light inconsistency.
And thanks for the idea for the cycle button. Sounds logical.
Best regards

Thanks a lot, audiooutsource!
Just purchased NanoKontrol Studio. Downloaded your files and presto! We're online :-)
Well, most of the time at least. For some reason Reaper seems to find the NanoKontrol sporadically, either via Btooth or USB. It might be related to the Line 6 UX2 I'm using as an interface... if anyone has hints on how to get that combo working stable I'd be more than hugely grateful...

Korg nanoKontrol Studio maps question
Searching for info on this perplexing little gadget and found this thread and was finally able to get it working... However, there are a number of oddities happening and I'm wondering if someone could help me determine what is causing them and/or how to remedy them?
first, my system is a macbook pro purchased new last year, running catalina 10.15.4 and reaper 6.09 and all the current firmware/software and Kerr's maps have been installed.
oddity #1: each time i restart Korg Kontrol Editor, i see "Untitled*" at the top bar and i need to reopen the original "reaper set..." file or one of the versions i saved previously. Is there some way to make one of these a default setting?
oddity #2: when i press the "play" button on the nanoKontrol, the button works in a momentary fashion. i went into the editor and the button behavior is listed as "toggle". i tried changing it to momentary and back, but it still reacts the same. restarting both the Kontrol and associated software also does not change the result. adding to that, if i press the "record" button, reaper will play and initially start recording, but as soon as i take my finger off of the record button, it is no longer recording, only playing back. again, the "record" button is set to toggle.
oddity #3: all of the mutes, solo and track record buttons act as though they too are set to momentary, yet they are set to toggle in the editor.
oddity #4: despite having my settings as mentioned in part of this thread for the jog wheel, it is not responding to any movement.
thank you to anyone with some answers to this.

thank you for this effort. I recently pruchased nanokontrol studio, I was considering nanokontrol 2 but later I wanted that extra buttons and scrub wheel so decided to get the nanokontrol studio version. Problem is ; I figured that I could be able to map the whole unit by using the actions menu on reaper, but I cannot get any LED feedback and it is driving me crazy. I am such a newbie when it comes to midi in/out stuff and control surfaces, could anyone may have anough knowledge to show me the way? All I want is led feedback -especially on the track rec, solo, mute buttons and rec play pause buttons. I already installed the korg kontrol editor and set all the scene settings LED EXTERNAL, and also set the buttons to my liking (toggle/momentary etc...), I also go to the midi devices section in reaper and enabled nanokontrol studio for midi+control for input and also enabled nanokontrol studio for output. Then I added "mackie control universal" profile on the osd/control surfaces section of the reaper, and selected the nanokontrol studio there too. But still cannot get any led feedback (( Any help is welcome

Recently installed the NanoKontrol2 in Reaper. Best I can advise is that everything you need to do (and it is a lot of things) is in this thread. Be sure to look for the 2020 Win10 drivers at the Korg site. Good Luck.

Just got the nanoKONTROL and this thread saved me TONS of work! Thanks! One change I made that others might like: I changed all the global transport controls EXCEPT Cycle to be Momentary instead of Toggle. This way when you press something like "Next Marker" for example the LED doesn't stay lit until the next time you press it. However, to make this work in Reaper, I had to edit all the key mappings and change the "MIDI CC" field to "Relative 1" instead of "Absolute" otherwise the function would trigger twice (so it jump to the next marker on key press and then again on key release). This also helps keep the Stop, Play, and Record LEDs from becoming out of sync with Reaper (i.e. pressing Play, then pressing Stop, resulting in both Play and Stop now being lit).
My only issue is:
When I solo anything, the Solo button in Reaper doesn't look pressed. The track is soloed but the button (in Reaper itself) is not lit up. The Mute works as expected.

Not good for Reaper
Well, I've been to this thread and other many times.
I purchased Nanokontrol Studio as MIDI controller for light control software, but soon gave up on that. Then I decided to dedicate it to working with Reaper.
I made it work, but this MIDI controller is just not for Reaper!
- first of all, lights on buttons that go on and off and are in no way connected to what is active and happening in Reaper, this causes many problems in workflow. Simply NanoKontrol Studio can not get data back from Reaper, It's one way street!
- second, my faders are set to go frm 0 t o127, but in Reaper they jump in secrements of 2.0 sometimes 2.5 , so mixing is impossible, since slightest nudge gets a track from 0 to 2.5 gain, back to the mouse.
Just for fun, I tried and did connect Nanokontrol Studio to DaVinci Fire FireFly for sound mastering in Resolve, it crashes the software on every second press of the button.
So goodbye to Korg Nanokontrol studio from me!

This reply is probably coming a bit late for you but since I just acquired a nanoKontrol Studio and I'm using it with a Mac I thought I would add my two cents.
From what you described, it looks like you may have not written the scene and/or the global data to the nanoKontrol from the Korg Kontrol Editor. At least, I didn't at first, and the symptoms you describe are exactly what happened to me.
But, after writing the data to the controller from the editor, everything works as expected.
Hope this helps.
--Phil
