emulating the APC40 "Bank Select" buttons on a nanokontrol

Post by FutureJosh » Sun Aug 14, 2011 7:51 am

hi all!

Can anyone tell me how to program/map some of the buttons on a korg nanokontrol to do the same job as the "Bank Select" buttons on the APC40 ? if you're not familiar with the APC40 these buttons basically allow you to navigate through abletons clip view, shifting the location of the 'red rectangle'

I currently use the apc40 to DJ with, but after using it for a year or so i realised i only need a few of the functions, and would prefer not to carry around such a cumbersom device when all i really need is around 6 buttons and a few faders.

From what i understand it requires some sort of python script as there is no way to midi map the function due to there being no corresponding clickable button within ableton.

any help would be amazeballs.

thanks in advance!

the script I use is called nanokontrolmyr, you can find it here:

let me know if you have any issues setting it up!

it only works up to 16 tracks though, in scenes 1-2, scene 3 maps to the focused device, and the 4th scene is freely assignable.
