Korg nonoKontrol as an input device
A guy in my band just showed me his new Korg nanoKontrol -- $60 gets you nine sliders and nine encoders in a slick compact package: http://createdigitalmusic.com/2009/08/18/nanokontrol-myr-for-ableton-live-fr... I tried opening it in ChucK as a Hid joystick and as a MIDI keyboard, but no luck. Has anyone used a nanoKontrol with ChucK? And if so, what's the secret? It would be a nice addition to a live setup. -- Rob

This link says it sends standard MIDI: http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/102342/Hardware_Technical_Support/Korg_nanoK... Hans

That's promising! So can you tell me why the following code didn't print any MIDI messages? It got as far as "0.000000 0x635390 0x632c50 reading midi from port 0 -> FireWire 410", but then nothing more. - Rob // Korg nanoKontrol // public class Kontrol { fun void init() { spork ~ _processMidi(0); } fun void _processMidi(int midi_device) { MidiIn midi_in; MidiMsg midi_msg; while (!midi_in.open(midi_device)) { <<< now, me, this, "can't open midi device", midi_device, "...waiting 10 seconds" >>>; 10::second => now; } <<< now, me, this, "reading midi from port ", midi_device, "->", midi_in.name() >>>; while (true) { midi_in => now; <<< now, midi_in.toString() >>>; while (midi_in.recv(midi_msg)) { <<< now, midi_msg.toString() >>>; } } } } Kontrol k; k.init(); 1::week => now;

My next message said that you should take down the "Kontrol Editor", and check what MIDI messages it sends. But why does it say "FireWire"? - It is an USB device, I think. What is the platform? Is it this problem: http://xkcd.com/644/ Hans
sorry if you already know this, but do a
chuck --probe
there you'll see what devices you can read midi from, the nanokontrol should
be in there. Change the argument to _processMidi to match the midi input
device number.

Hans, Stefan:
Doh! You solved the mystery -- I should have noticed.
When I ran the test, I also had an M-Audio Firewire-410 interface
(DA/AD/MIDI) interface plugged in. Since I never use it for MIDI, it didn't
occur to me that it had grabbed port 0. If I'd run 'chuck --probe' first, I
would have noticed what was going on.
Moral: chuck --probe is your friend.
Now if I can just convince my buddy to let me borrow his nonoKontrol again.
Seems like a versatile performance controller for $60.
Thanks, all.

And this link (bottom) says to download "KORG KONTROL Editor" - then one can set it to send whatever MIDI data one wants, even MIDI notes, and even have several: http://www.korg.co.uk/products/software_controllers/nano/sc_nano.asp Hans
