Okay so I am about 5 mins away of throwing my new nanoKontrol out of the window:( because setting this thing up is driving me crazy right now!
I downloaded and installed the editor and usb-midi driver from the Korg website, opened the editor, tweaked the settings (I mainly want the top buttons in toggle mode to turn tracks on and off) saved the settings and then open live, re open editor load my settings file and no toggle!
I have the editor set for USB audio device for midi in and midi out and I keep getting a message that says "Failed to open midi port" then I switched preferences to my audio interfaces (E-MU 1820m) midi ports and when I re-open editor I get a timeout message while it tries to communicate.
Somebody halp me.(Yes I spelled help with an "a" so you know I really need "halp";) )

once you've edited and saved the settings, did you "Send Scene Data" OUT to the nanoKontrol? There is a bit of (firmware?) that needs to be updated with those settings otherwise it ain't gonna work.

Yep, I click "send scene data" and I just get a "Timeout" message.

Hmmmm....well, I'd test another piece of MIDI gear on the same port to rule that out, if it works, then contact Korg. I've had my nanoPad replaced without even sending in the buggy one, so they are pretty good about replacing faulty gear (at least imo)

Thanks, I will try another port but first I am going to uninstall and re install to see if that might work.

Solved, was just a driver problem.
