padkontrol

padkontrol is a Python module used to interact with the Korg PadKontrol MIDI controller via its native mode.

Installation

You can install the module via pip:

pip install "git+https://github.com/stuartkeith/padkontrol.git"

Then import and use:

import padkontrol

See example.py for usage.

The example uses python-rtmidi for MIDI IO. You might need to modify the OUTPUT_MIDI_PORT and INPUT_MIDI_PORT variables.
