Nanopad2 doesn’t work with korg kontrol editor

Hi

I bought a Nanopad2 he is connected to my computer and he lights up, but when i open korg kontrol editor he doesn’t find my nanopad2, so there isn’t music.
Can someone help me please?

Do you use windows? Close all MIDI apps and plug controller before starting editor.

How do you close them?
First time i’m working with MIDI etc

Talking about virtual cables, ports or audio apps. If your unit is still not recognized fill the ticket to korg support.

i get a error : failed to open the MIDI port :s

Not the editor, MIDI should be sent there. Disable other MIDI apps within OS. What is your setup?

What do you mean setup?

Which software, other controllers, MIDI sends. Trying to figure out where is your MIDI lost.

euhm i don’t get it but i’m using KORG kontrol editor and Configure KORG USB-MIDI Driver and i just have a dj controller, pioneer ergo. but i don’t have any problems with that. but my dj controller isn’t attached connected.

How long this issue appears, meaning did it happen before? Do you plug it always in same usb port?

i just have the controller 2 days and it doesn’t work always did it on my laptop

Sound like bad installation. Make sure to install latest driver, ones that come on CDs are mostly outdated. Note that nanopad automatically install driver again when you change USB port and create new MIDI device which are limited to 10 in windows, so in case that you had tried to make it work bay replacing USB port many times the limit may be reached.

so i need to install everything again? :stuck_out_tongue:

Noob alert! :stuck_out_tongue:!

but i don’t know a thing about midi & i’m just 14 years old so.. :stuck_out_tongue:

You can get some basics first, reading, watching tutorials, it’s easy when you’re interested. 90% of MIDI problems are already answered out there. But first step is reinstalling device, That’s out of MIDI right?

I reinstalled all, but it doesn’t work :disappointed:

I just have bought a NanoPad and had the same problem. I attached the solution applied that worked ok for me (from Korg Support):

You’re running into the Windows 10 MIDI device limit. This is widely described at length in various forums and websites (I believe this forum as well!). This is exacerbated by the fact that Windows installs different devices for each USB port. In other words, a padKONTROL connected to 3 different USB ports would be recognized as 3 unique devices installed on your computer. Consequently, if you have an audio interface with MIDI connectivity and any other MIDI based devices, you can hit the 10 device limit pretty quickly.

You can either edit your Windows Registry manually (which there are instructions widely available for) to remove duplicate entries or you can use the “Korg MIDI Driver Uninstall Utility” or"Uninstall KORG USB-MIDI Device" in your Start menu to remove duplicate MIDI entries. Be sure to click “Option” and uncheck “Delete Korg MIDI Device Only”. This will allow you to uninstall redundant entries for any third-party devices other than Korg that you may have installed on your computer. To be clear, this is not a problem with the Korg driver but rather a limitation built into the Windows OS.

Hope it helps!
