Clip grid for the padKONTROL

Here’s my attempt at emulating the Monodeck II’s clip grid using the pK. The setup is built for 6 “songs”, but only 2 are set up currently.

A “song” is 8 tracks x 4 scenes. On the pK, you have 2 grids per song with each grid controlling 4 tracks. Each vertical row of pads represents 1 track. After initializing the pad lights, if a clip slot has a clip loaded, the pad will be lit. If no clip is loaded, the pad will be dark. If a clip is playing, the pad will blink.

Other features:

Visual metronome
4 scene launch buttons per song
3 assignable buttons with feedback
Assignable encoder with feedback
Assignable set of scrolling +/- buttons with feedback
Assignable X/Y pad with on/off switch
2 assignable knobs

Aside from the pK and Live, you also need MIDI Yoke. After installing, check the manual for info on how to set up Live. You can d/l it here, PC only unfortunately.

Let me know what you think.

Your work on with the PK is amazing. Do you have any video or a manual of this new app in action? You just made my decision on my next bit of kit.

This is excellent, the only thing that would keep me from using this in a live setup would be the six song limit. Are there any workarounds or plans to increase this?
Thanks

Thanks for checking it out.

I uploaded a brief vid that shows the features. Here’s the manual too.

As far as the 6 song limit, it should be possible to increate that. Would 12 work for you?

This is soooo cool .... Gonna try this one out next weekend for sure. As said before, such amazing work you guys do on finding new ways of finding use for the pK!

Thanks. Has anyone installed and tried this out yet? Because I'm not a live performer, I’m interested to see what people think about the setup before spending too much time programming the other songs. Any and all feedback is appreciated.
