NanoKontrol2

Interface for using Korg NanoKONTROL2 with SuperCollider.

Basic usage

n = NanoKontrol2();

// register a function to be evaluted when fader1 is changed
n.fader1.onChange = {|val| (val/127).postln; }

// overwrite the previous assignment
n.fader1.onChange = {|val| val.linexp(0, 127, 20, 20000).postln; }

n.sBtn1.onPress = { "Hello, ".post; };
n.sBtn1.onRelease = { "NanoKONTROL2!".postln; };

Incremental assignment

It is possible to incrementally assign faders, knobs, and the s/m/r buttons.

n = NanoKontrol2();

(
n.faders.do {|fader, i|
    fader.onChange = {|val|
        "This is fader % its value is %\n".postf(i+1, val);
    }
};

n.knobs.do {|knob, i|
    knob.onChange = {|val|
        "This is knob % its value is %\n".postf(i+1, val);
    }
};

n.rBtns.do {|rBtn, i|
    rBtn.onChange = {|val|
        "This is rBtn % its value is %\n".postf(i+1, val);
    }
};
)

Or just a selection of controls

// assign faders 1 .. 4
n.faders[..3].do {|fader, i| 
    fader.onChange = {|val|
        "This is fader % its value is %\n".postf(i+1, val);
    }
};

External LED control

Button LEDs can be controlled using MIDI if NanoKontrol2 is set to "external mode" in the Korg Kontrol Editor.

(
// Use \external to enable LED control.
// Remember to set "LED mode" in Korg Kontrol Editor to "external"
n = NanoKontrol2(\external);

// turn on leds
n.rBtns.do {|btn|
    btn.ledState = 1;
};

n.mBtns.do {|btn|
    btn.ledState = 1;
};

n.sBtns.do {|btn|
    btn.ledState = 1;
};
)

n.ledsOff; // turn leds off

// the button is passed as an argument for `onPress` and `onRelease`
n.rBtn1.onPress = {|val, btn|
    btn.ledState = 1;
};

Interface

Methods

onChange all controls (faders/knobs/buttons) can register a function using this method

onPress only register press on buttons

onRelease only register release on buttons

free unregisters a MIDI responder

freeAll unregisters all MIDI responders

ledsOff turn off all LEDs

Note: Cmd-. removes all MIDI responders by default in SuperCollider
