Korg NanoKontrol2 as dedicated Traktor Sample Deck Controller!

Hey guys, I just bought the Korg nanoKontrol2 (the new and improved version nano series) and am pretty impressed with it

I just realised that the nanoKontrol2 is probably the PERFECT controller for Traktor S4/Traktor2’s sample decks!

nanoKontrol2: 8 knobs, 8 pots, 3 buttons each (24 buttons total)

the first four faders controls the left sample deck volume levels
the next four controls the right sample deck volume
the first four pots control dedicated filters for each track of the sample deck
and so on…

the 3 buttons on each channel can be used to play, stop, and restart sample on each deck, so you can imagine that this means you have 8 dedicated full control of the sample decks! its like having 8 extra channels on traktor! (2 full channels + 8 sample deck tracks!)

just thought i’d share this with the people here - this is a nice, cheap controller with a lot of controls!

im in the middle of mapping it to my traktor S4 but i think im gonna wait a bit till Traktor 2 comes out next week before i finish the TSI so i can do led feedback etc on the buttons

hook us up with the mapping once you get the led feedback mapped :")

any word on that .tsi yet

At £50 for a midi brain it’s also prime for modding. 16 analogues and 24 buttons? A lot of people might find that interesting.

24 x Button
18 x analogues
4 x layers

The old one had 2 more analogues and about $25 cheaper

The new one has 8 more buttons when you include the transport controls

i wish i was better at mapping, this seems perfect to go with my x1 that i curtrently use, once there is a tsi, im def going to try it out

[Towner]

yep I def want to see this

$63 at my local shop.. going to pick one up!

Thanks

Hey mate
Any update on that nano kontrol mapping for sample decks or comment on how effective?

[zestoi]

nice idea using the nanokontrol to do this… being pretty much a noob to traktor i’m still trying to work out what contollers should do what for traktor and live. just picked up an lpd8 but this is tempting me to add a nanokontrol2 in the mix too… lots of nice and cheap controllers to experiment with so if i get something better sometime i won’t have wasted too much cash

that’s the series1 by the looks of it, same as the one i have. not too sure i like there being one less fader on the series2 but the extra button seems handy for this mapping to sample decks.

on ebay/uk the series2 seems more like 50gbp which is a bit steep compared to only 30gbp for the series1.

good point… be nice if the series2 controllers dropped a bit in price in a month or so tho tho i dont expect they will that fast…

I find that all kinds of interesting… lol might have to go grab one..

I bought one of the first editions on ebay a few nights ago for £7:50 The guy selling it had stood on the usb cable and broke the usb port.

I’m ripping it to bits when it arrives for a custom mod

i saw that one myself and half thought about getting it i haven’t started on my gamepad-hacked-arcade-controller yet tho and just bought an lpd8 and have a lot of coding to do for my midikatapult-meets-bomes homebrew midi mashing app too.

i never realised a dj website could bring out the geek in me so much

I still prefer the series one, simply because it has an extra fader, and the transport section makes more sense.

But I also use it for my Traktor set up, the series 2 looks a lot more useful for Ableton.

i’m actually using my series1 with ableton and reason - the 9 faders and pots is nice and i find the buttons too small to be all that useful anyway. the new one does look better made but the current prices of the series1 ones are a steal…

I was prepared to go up to £15 so i was really happy to get it for £7:50.

Wait until you see what i do with it
