Kama:
What type/kind of paint did you use to paint the Nano?
Interesting.. I may even paint the NanoPad… leaving the left side blue area intact, and painting the rest would look really nice.
Since it seems it will take forever for me to perform the arcade button mod, I will give the nanopad a try as an alternative. Wonder if it will react as ultra-fast as the buttons seems to work…
Black is on the way…

Thanks for the heads up. Way better.
Nanokontrol mappings for Scratch Pro and vci-100 se
Anybody working on this? It would be great to have immediate access to all the new effects.
Interesting idea. By the way, it looks great in black.
Right now I’m using my XSession FX knobs as selector for the chained effects. That works quite well. With the NanoPad I miss the Cue/Play(Instant) command. Right now if I jump to a cue point, there is a minimal delay before it starts playing- caused by the new Cue/Play command. Really annoying.
I’ll buy a black nanoKONTROL to fire loops in Ableton and browse through the loops.
Even if there is delay. As Ableton is synched to Traktor (or versi-vise) it won’t hurt 
This delay you speak of… is it due to the NanoPad itself? Or is this some Traktor Pro midi thing I’m not familiar with?
OK - My order is on hold until the “Black NanoPad” is available. 
Hope it doesn’t delay much…
Tigris: The NanoPad is not the cause of the delay… check your sound card latency settings… if you can lower it without getting any pops/cracks… you will be able to get instant/near instant Cue-Play whenever you depress a pad…
Anyone know if the rotaries on the NanoKontrol are endless? That would pretty much mean me buying, like, thousands of them
Great Piece of Kit
I’ve got a nano kontrol to augment the controllers I have- it works brilliantly for effects in Traktor and also with with Ableton- I’d highly recommend it to anyone. Although it is small and plastic it feels pretty solid for what it is. The rotaries are finite though but I would still say go and get yourself one, for this price you get 4 banks of 9 rotaries, 9 sliders & 18 buttons so you really can’t beat the price ! There is an editor so you can change the behaviours of the buttons & sliders etc (toggle vs hold) midi channels and cc #'s etc. You can also save different set ups and then load them onto the controller.Don’t forget that with T Pro you can use modifiers to act as sort of a shift so you can actually program a key on the nano kontrol to do this which means you can actually have hundreds of functions on this thing if you can keep it all straight in your head. Well worth the $60.
Also: There isn’t any delay with it as far as I can tell , it must be a latency thing.
Just a quick note: The delay I was talking about was not at all a fault of the Korg- it’s really nice; the delay was caused by the “Cue/Play Instant”-function not being implemented into Traktor Pro anymore
Fortunately, nothing DJTT-Forums couldn’t fix. So right now I’m mixing away, getting accustomed to Traktor Pro. I do however need WAY more knobs… Probably need to get the Korg-Control 
Any one want to post there midi map for nano kontrol? I would love to see how you are assigning them in traktor.
heres my tks for my vci/nanokontrol setup. im using the vci for decks a and b and the nanokontrol transport section along with the frist 2 sliders and knobs to control either deck c or deck d. at the same time, the rest of the sliders/ knobs on the nano control the effects for all the decks including the final slider and knob which control a couple of master effects. the buttons on the nano also select effects for each deck. im working on a couple more scenes for the nano to include some cue juggle points and maybe a single effect to go with the cue points. let me know what you think. if you want to try this setup, your also gonna need my korg editor file, so let me know if anyone wants it
I, like many I am sure, am looking for a tsi for the nanokontrol and vci100 se based on the Ean’s latest for the se or burndownthedisco’s ‘tsi for traktor pro vci100se with fx toggle v2’
Can Traktor Pro read from 2 TSI’s at the same time or do they have to be merged? Leading to the question - if the djtt community is going to be continually creating new se TSI’s, how do us nano folks keep up?
I just got mine.. touch sensitivity feels nice.. sure it’s plastic.. but for this price, who cares.. i’d like to paint it black, Kama, what kind of paint did you use?
I picked up the last one on display at the local GC today…
First off - it’s getting returned tomorrow because of a faulty #6 pad. This really peeved me off…
I’ll probably pick up another after the holidays and see if KORG’s quality control has improved.
other than that, I might sell off my mpd32 and replace it with a nanopad, based on the sensitivity of the pads and trackpad ease of use… or just go for a secondhand padkontrol…
I do like the portability aspect of it, the inexpensiveness of it, and the gumminess of the pads…
wondering if the roll can be synced up via midi… probably not seeing how the padkontrol is unable to…
I am putting together a vc100se & nanoKontrol TSI. For loading effects it seems to get the nano LED to stay on you have to set the ‘button behavior’ in the korg editor from "Momentary’ to ‘Toggle’ But that makes it so you have to press the button twice to get anything to happen. What am I missing here?
thanks
( BTW: I just used Rustoleum semi flat spray-paint on mine and it seems to be holding up OK.)
Kama-
I was having the same problem. You actually need to set the T Pro to hold & the Nano to toggle because it acts like a double positive- they are both toggling so then you have to cycle through. I’m Actually in the car right now so I think this is the right way round but I will check to confirm when I get in & repost if I am wrong. Good luck !
thanks - I will try it.
Here is a post I put up on the NI Forum - any help would be great thanks
I am using 2 controllers* for Traktor Pro and would like to know what the workflow is for dealing with the TSI. It would be much more efficient and communally effective to be able to work with one TSI file per controller and then ‘merge them’ within Traktor. It would be ideal to be able to update them separately as well.
Also is there a way to export the TSI in a legible form? (Like what you see in the Preferences Midi Mapping Window) (How about making that window expandable as well)
This would obviously help immeasurably in developing maps.
thanks
