Nanokontrol2 New User
Posted: Wed Aug 16, 2017 3:51 pm
Hello, just picked up a Nanokontrol2 and sadly have spent hours so far attempting to set it up. I have an older laptop, but I think it's supported, running windows vista 32 bit. And I use Ableton Live version 8. There is no official driver listed by Korg for vista, even though Korg does say that vista is supported.
So far I've gotten Ableton live (version
to map a slider. But, the thing is none of the transport buttons seem to do anything when I press them. Am I using the correct "mode" for Ableton? I have tried several of the "modes" (i.e. combinations of buttons you press when you connect the nanokontrol2).
I suspect the issue has to do with the driver? I have just allowed vista to automatically install the driver when I plug in the device. But again, there is no driver listed for vista. Should I download the most recent driver for windows 10? And then, could I run it in compatability mode for vista?
I have already been through removing certain midi ports and going into the registry and deleting the entry for port 1. The korg editor, well, under "set midi ports", it does display the nanokontrol2. However, when I first start up the editor, it does not show that it is detecting the nanokontrol2.
I haven't found this combination of symptoms anywhere online, but then as a new user I don't know where to start as far as troubleshooting. Hoping to get this sorted prior to the 2-3 business days Korg will take to respond to my email. Thanks very much to the community for any ideas of what to try next!
