**DJ Java’s KORG nanoKONTROL2 MIDI Map - Use it as a Sampler deck controller!** Hey all, i am super excited to show this to you… especially those of you who stuck with their VCI-100’s. Thank’s to the inspiration from DJTT and other members of the community, I have mapped-out a KORG nanoKONTROL2 so it will work as a dedicated sampler deck controller in Traktor Pro2. Just to keep things in one place, I put all the information about it on my website: [http://dj-java.com/korg-nanokontrol2-mapping/](http://dj-java.com/korg-nanokontrol2-mapping/) You can also check out this youtube video I made last night, with a complete explanation and a demonstration of the mapping in action. Just as a headsup- I am just getting my feet wet with using sampler decks… so don’t expect to hear the Mozart of sampling. youtube video here: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/techtools/original/3X/2/a/2a39705da6a6704556e193a3df63269aabf9af94.jpeg "DJ Java's KORG nanoKONTROL2 Sampler Mapping - Info & Demo") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9H7oejopx0) I’d love to hear feedback from all of you on what could be improved, changed, etc… I’ve put alot of effort and thought into making this mapping, and I hope to keep it updated. Also… what would you suggest to be the second preset FX group? Let me know and i’ll update the mapping! Thanks alot!! DJ Java (Tom) ---

Hi and thanks for the awesome mapping. Me and a friend have been looking for something just like this kontroller, and your mapping is completely awesome. For the second preset I think that one knob could control a chained group like this , one a beatmasher and the last one something else. Does that sound interesting? ---

hey m0ar, thanks for the reply! I’m glad you and your friend like it! i am digging the sweep/build up as that will come in hand with use on the sample decks… i am thinking of making another knob control a super knob to wind up/down songs aswell (demo: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF-KGo4uXNA&feature=plcp&context=C3e1713fUDOEgsToPDskIryxFVBoFzIosgC\_C-urwZ](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF-KGo4uXNA&feature=plcp&context=C3e1713fUDOEgsToPDskIryxFVBoFzIosgC_C-urwZ)) as for the final knob… since we already have a beatmasher available in preset 1… hmm! ---

To be honest I don’t really understand what that effect does, do you mind explaining it to me? ---

with that effect, one knob sets the effect to Reverse Grain and as you continue to move the knob, it either increases/decreases the Speed parameter of the Reverse Grain, in effect giving you a “winding up” or “winding down” sound effect… great to use when you want to make a song sound like its slowing down and then throw in a new track. ---

so i have some exciting news… an update to the mapping already so that brings us up to v1.1… here’s whats included: **_version 1.1 change log:_** - FX have been changed to use Unit 3 by default. - changed functionality of FX presets… press once on each bank to load and you’re good to go. - bank enabled is indicated by which FX are loaded into bank. - Preset 2 offers 3 super/smart knobs- functionality as follows: - Knob 5 controls Wet/dry of single FX. turns off at 0, turns on when \>0. - Knob 6 controls a sweep/build drama effect. _super knob_ - Knob 7 controls a wind up/wind down effect _super knob_ - Knob 8 sets an advanced flanger in the unit and controls the flanger spread. (use knob 5 to enable / adjust wet-dry) - other minor tweaks in the configuration i’ll have a video up shortly… and as always you can get the mapping and more info at [http://dj-java.com/korg-nanokontrol2-mapping/](http://dj-java.com/korg-nanokontrol2-mapping/) suggestions/tips/criticism…whatever… let me know!!
