Default Komplete Kontrol (Generic midi keyboard) how to re-map Momentary to Toggle, global ch

Hey gang... hope this helps some people.

I have an M-Audio Axiom Air Mini 32 that I love to use for a million things... portability, good functions, drum pads, the whole nine. Plus I love how flat it is... not for everyone, but... yeah.

Two problems with it: one, it only sends on a Global midi channel, and two, the buttons can only be assigned to function as Momentary.

Komplete Kontrol (2.1.1) offers MIDI mode... use any keyboard or midi controller, to browse presets (up/down) and scroll through parameter pages (left/right). And jump between FX and the synth, if desired (I never do).

I wrote this up at the NI forum... I'll just link directly to it for anyone curious (the solution is in post #3).

It involves the Piz Midi (Insert Piz Here) plugins... but, it works great.

Thanks and enjoy making music!

Hope this helps anyone...

Another thing I found out re: Komplete Kontrol... and the latest device for it (Native Instruments' M32) is that the MIDI mapping is apparently fixed, so you can't really customize it with the Controller Editor. Not only that but it apparently doesn't work with Windows 7 or anything before Windows 10 (I despise Windows 10 for many reasons).

Just a heads-up.. to anyone thinking of picking up the M32 and using it in Reaper for generic plugin MIDI control... if you have CC #s mapped to anything else in your Reaper Actions, and the same CC values are fixed with the M32... problems.

I love a lot of what NI does, but hate a lot of what NI does, all the same.

That's why I picked up an Arturia Keylab Essential 49 recently. Totally customizable, and program controls that work right out of the box in "Daw Mode" (undo, metronome, etc).

Note to any manufacturers who might be reading this: users always want fully customizable midi knobs/encoders/faders/buttons. Always. And ideally, several presets with different mappings available (yay Arturia!).
