Problem installing korg nanokontrol2 sliders and knobs not responsive.

Alberto-Pigola wrote on 12/30/2022, 6:27 AM

Tring to use korg nanokontrol2 for mixing audio in vegas pro. Buttons work ok but sliders and knobs are very sluggish. If I move them extremely slow i can get a full range movement but anything a bit more normal it doesn't ´move or makes small jumps. If I use the control in cubase or da vinci resolve it works flawlessly.

The problem seems to be on the way vegas process the information from the controller.

Any help will be very appreciated

Have you checked on korg nanokontrol2's website that the product is supported for Vegas Pro? Not all plugins support everything.

Yes they specify

Avid Pro Tools
Apple Logic
Apple GarageBand
MOTU Digital Performer
Steinberg Cubase
Ableton Live
Cakewalk SONAR

Vegas does not appear as well as resolve that does work.

I imagine the midi reading is too slow to follow the sliders and knobs.

From the vegas pro help "If you have a MIDI controller that includes buttons and knobs or faders, you can use the device as an external control device. For an example of how you can set up a generic control surface to control tracks in your project" So I´m trying to make it work and exploring any change in configuration that seems reasonable.

Thanks for your post

I have the Korg Nanokontrol and it works fine with Vegas. No hesitancy when moving the faders. Did you set yours up thru the Learning mode?

Found a post with the right solution https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/anybody-using-korg-nano-kontrol--82916/

I copy the most relevant part from the post from user rgbii

Here's what I *think* I did. Since I was poking and prodding it for a while, I'm hesitant to undo it all :)

First, you need to set your KONTROL2 to be in Control Mode "Digital Performer". This can be done through the Korg Kontrol Editor. Also set the LED mode to external - this seems to be what sets up the button lights to work.

Start Vegas. Go to Options/Preferences.
In the MIDI tab, make sure you've got your KONTROl2 checked for both in and out.
In the External control & automation tab, In the available devices drop down, select Mackie Control, then click add. It will add the device, showing it as not found. Right click on new Mackie Device and select configure. A new dialog box will come up.
Under device type, select Emulate Mackie Control Device 1.
Under MIDI input and output select your KONTROL2 device.
Click Close, which takes you back to preferences. Click Ok.
Under the options menu, make sure External Control is checked.

He also points "The only issue I haven't figured out is how to use the sliders with automation, such as latch/touch. The sliders still adjust the volume, but do not move the slider in Vegas, nor sets points in the automation." and I also have this problem.

I activated the automation in vegas and the sliders change nothing

Well, I will change my story. I had not tried my nanokontrol with Version 19. The faders do not work well. I think something in the midi part of Vegas got broken. It worked fine with my Version 12. Sorry, can't help.

Yes using the generic option.

Can you detail how you installed yours? it would be a great help
