I was kind of hoping the x / y and a couple of buttons controlled the mouse; but i still love this app.

I've been using PK[squared] for about a week and I like it. I've read thru the PK[squared] threads and have a couple of comments on the posts:

"the x axis works, but the y axis is always mapped to ch-1/PB"

I don't seem to be getting pitch bend from the y-axis. Nothing shows up in midi map mode, but the Sampler modulation page shows foot control input.

Also, someone did not care for the undo/redo buttons (which I can understand), but I find them useful when in overdub mode.

Related, someone mentioned that the momentary buttons do not work well with the overdub switch. This is true, but actually if you hit undo after whatever button you assign to overdub, the overdub switch is turned back on and stays on.

I got this app working great except if i twist the knobs or play around with the xy pad it freezes the Squared app.
This means i have to restart PK, Squared and Live which isn't really good for live performance.
Anyone have clues how to proceed to overcome this problem?
Also Squared doesn't work with my Xstation connected, does this also happen with other usb audio interfaces?

I'm on XP.

Once he has that one hacked, it'll probably be blended with the PK Squared app and that will be the new version.
We'll try to get it finished. But there are only so much Covert Operators who like delving into sysex. (I aint one of them...)

Is a blended app still a possibility?

hey guys, this is pretty much abandonware, since I no longer have the PadKontrol, I'm afraid.

If we haven't shared the source files yet I will, soon enough.

cheers,
Andreas.

Andreas, thanks for the reply. The source must be Max, right?

Nope, anyone fancy reconfiguring the order of the pads?

I've read through all entire thread on this but to no avail. PK doesn't respond when I click on Native Mode

Status:
coll: finished, 5 lines

To Mackie Control Input of host => IAC Driver Bus 1
To PadKontrol 1 CTRL =>padKONTROL CTRL
Notes To Host => from PK[squared]1
Notes From Host => to PK[squared] 2
From PadKontrol 1 Port A => padKONTROL PORT A

In the MIDI setup menu of PKsquared, do I click on Autosetup? Should all ports be "On"

hi,
would love to get some help using this app, for inputs and outputs I have USB audio device, USB audio device[1] and USB audio device [2]. Nothing else. Even with the latest drivers from KOrg for padkontrol.
There is no padkontrol CTRL or pk [squared]1 , or anythibg else.
Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
