Korg Nano Kontrol Traktor Setup

I used this setup for a while, before i decided that ableton better suits my style/needs.

It was a nice small setup. Scene 1 is shown, Scene two was setup for effects, and scene 3 was the same as scene 1, and scene 4 was set up for looping. I set it up with scene 1 and 3 the same so i could get back to my mix as quick as possible.

Let me know what you think.

…I know i put this in the wrong section. Sorry.

Hey!
Great setup! I see you didn’t use the middle fader(Channel 5 on the device). You could set that up to be the crossfader and the 2 buttons next to it to switch between decks A/C and B/D, if you have a 4 deck setup. I really like the setup of the scenes. Not many people make use of that function.

Good stuff buddy!

Actually, I like it that much that I’d like to try it. Could you maybe post the tsi? It would save me a lot of time trying to figure out the mapping…

Hey Drew

this is exactly what i was trying to do with my nano, it just arrived yesterday. :slight_smile: I wanted to use Nano as a dj controller and traktor as a visual reference. i have couple of questions though..

Did you map this in Kontrol Editor…or Traktor? unfortunately for me it doesn’t seem to be working in both. Files that im writing in KE can’t be loaded in Traktor as they are different format.

and secondly my traktor identifies Nano as a port but in MIDI Setup all the options are not highlighted, so im unable to assign any control…

may you could make a video tutorial or something…:slight_smile:

Drew,

I would love to try out this configuration. Sounds just what I am looking for. Can you please send me the TSI file or please up it. Thanx.

Korg nanoKONTROL Labeling Templates (PNG Format)

I liked Str8upDrew’s template, so I created a blank labeling template for the Korg nanoKONTROL for download off my blog:

…or just directly here:

I found it useful in mapping out MIDI settings for NI Traktor before actually labeling my controller…

hope someone else could find it useful as well.

:slight_smile:

Does anyone know if the .tsi was ever posted?? I just got my Kontrol yesterday and I’m looking to use it solely for effects. I’m combining it with my VCI 300. anyone have anything taht would be of use to me for that??? I’ve never created my own .tsi file.

11

Hey, I had almost the same ideas for my TSI.

not finished yet but I’ll post it when done.

12

Does somebody know how to keep the led on in buttons, when function mapped is activated??

13

The leds on the NanoKontrol are not midi controlled, the closest you can do is set them to toggle mode using korg’s kontrol editor.

14

Is it possible to map the transport section to use it for browsing?

15

Yeah, that’s actually how i have mine setup now.

Hello everybody, I just created a Mapping for the Korg nanokontrol and Traktor!
you can download the Tsi and the Nktrl_set files from here:

Enjoy :slight_smile:

My Traktor Pro NanoKontrol Midi Mapping (4 decks) .TSI file

This midi mapping allows

  • full mixer with filter, EQ, and tempo control
  • all 4 decks can be used (A/B/C/D)
  • control over 6 effects
  • cue points 1-8
  • Looping
  • browsing and loading tracks
  • no need for mouse or keyboard (unless doing a search)

In my setup I made it so that the left is channel A, the right is channel B, and the middle is the “mixer”. Ive made a diagram because explaining all of it in text would be tedious to write and hard to understand.

One thing that isn’t in the diagram is what the modifers do:

The first one (red record button) opens up the secondary features of many buttons for things that aren’t as often needed such as:
(these work while the record button is held)

  • Change Effects = all of equilizer faders (bass,mid,hi deck)
  • /2 BPM - effect button 1 (deck A) / effect button 8 (deck B)
  • x2 BPM - effect button 2 (deck A) / effect button 9 (deck B)
  • scroll thru track - volume faders A/B
  • Cue Pts 5-8 - Cue Pts 1-4
  • Deck Select - Sync A/B

The next modifier is the “loop increase” button (above the rec. button)
It makes the A/B configuration turn into C/D when it is held. Every mixer/cue/effect button still works but for the C/D including the rec. button modifiers and loading buttons (explained next)

Finally the “loop decrease” button makes it possible to see a full screen track browser and allows you to load tracks.

The controls are as follows when holding this button:

  • knob 1 scrolls through favorites
  • knob 2 scrolls through selected folder’s tracks
  • load track in A - filter kill A
  • load track in B - filter kill B
  • load track in C - filter kill A PLUS “loop inc.”
  • load track in D - filter kill B PLUS “loop inc.”

here is a link to my kontrol editor file:

Give it a try and let me know how you like it. most of the mappings should make sense but some i just had to put somewhere…
