Korg nanoKontrol Myr - A midi remote script for Live 8

Post by Myralfur » Thu Aug 27, 2009 3:44 pm

Ello Ello.

So I've recently been doing a bit of work on the Live API using python scripts and MaxMSP patches talking through LiveOSC.

The first offering I've got is a python midi remote script for the nanoKontrol.

It's based on the decompyled scripts for the Axiom keyboard controllers from Live 7, with a few added functions, such as device control, taken from ST8's LiveControl program.

The download is currently hosted on Peter Kirn's Create Digital Music Blog.

However, I've made a few improvements since and I'm storing them on the Monome forum for the minute.

The download comes with some documentation and presets to load on your nanoKontrol to make sure it's sending the right midi CCs on the right midi Channels.

Hope some of you guys enjoy it and it proves useful.

More on it's way soon hopefully.

This looks absolutely brilliant mate, nice work! I've actually only been borrowing a Nanokontrol lately so not had the chance to try this out, but I'm going to buy one tonight, I'll check these out then.

nope, vista sorry. i followed the directions and it worked...did you copy too many files into the scripts? like the ID file or whatever

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to change pans to sends in the encoders.py file.

I assume that this line -
device_parameter = self._Encoders__parent.song().tracks[track_index].mixer_device.panning

is critical... I've tried changing the .panning to .sends (which was all I could understand of the documentation on the assembla live api site)
but it didn't work - I'm not surprised because I assume that sends would require an id number

Anyone know the syntax?

Got it - sends[0] is the first send. St8 livecontrol script gave me the idea. Once again, "Nice 1" to myralfur, I would not have known where to look if he hadn't mentioned st8's work.Can't suss how to use a shift button to make the encoder switch to sends[1] though... :(

My edit of the encoders.py can be found here..
http://drop.io/NanoStep/asset/encoders-py

It's not that ambitious - panning is replaced with control of send A... understanding how to use a shift function to control more sends is beyond me right now.

thanks man!
does that go in the same folder as the others? then its a simple matter of "do you wish to overwrite?"

just wondering because i dont want to mess things up
