My bad. You’re completely right. I forgot that’s how I was doing it.
The only reason I saw to use the config software is that the sensitivity on the knobs needs to be modified or they just act like a toggle.
Ohh… that looks cool. I don’t have a lot of experience with MIDI controllers yet but I do have a Numark DJ MIDI turntable thing. Sometimes I use the faders on it to record automation on a track or two in Reaper.
If you’re using Jack and Carla (or similar) here’s what I’d do.
Open Carla or QjackCtl or something so you can see what changes on the graph when you plug it in.
For me when I plug in a new device it add a new midi_capture in the “system” list. Connect that to one of Reaper’s MIDI inputs. In my example I’m connecting “midi_capture_2” to “MIDI input 2”
Then in Reaper I open the preferences (ctrl+p) then go to Audio > MIDI Devices. In the top list I set the mode for midi_capture_2 to “Enabled+Control”.
Now as a test I create a new track with the plugin “ReaControlMIDI”. Towards the top-right of the plugin is a button, “Show Log”. Click that and then move stuff on your controller. If you see data then all you have to do is map your controls.
This is where things get tricky and I won’t be able to help too much since I’m still learning the ropes myself.
ReaLearn seems to be the best way to configure random MIDI devices to do whatever you want.
https://www.helgoboss.org/projects/realearn/#getting-started
If you have ReaPack
- add the repo - https://github.com/helgoboss/reaper-packages/raw/master/index.xml
- search for “realearn” and install
Update: I decided to spend some time learning more about ReaLearn and found that there are already some mappings for the NanoKontrol2. I’ve also seen a few different sources say you need to use the Korg Kontrol Editor software to make a few config changes on the device. I don’t have the device but I did test the software in WINE and it at least installs and opens. I’ve had to do this with Behringer software before and it works fine.

Good idea. I should put some work into the sidebar and slap a bunch of resources in there.

Is there still that bug where validating email doesn’t work?
My instance is on 0.17.4 and I completely gave up on trying to get that to work.
Tons of great samples in there. Nice score!
4·1 year agoLooking forward to their tour.
My money is on the cat.
1·1 year agoI think so. I’ve only been on this thing a few days and it seems to be growing fast. One thing that seems to help is to subscribe to interesting communities on other instances to help other new people find them easier.
You should also check out some of the communities on lemmy.studio. It’s an instance for musicians that I think will pair nicely with this one.
Reatune is so good. I use it on all my vocal tracks as well. When I’m singing it’s nice feedback to see how off I am and then also a good way to correct those mistakes if I’m feeling lazy.
If you could control the pitch it corrected to with MIDI that would be even better. The manual correction is fine but takes longer.
The remove community action seems to work on local and remote (other instance) communities but I don’t know if it also bans them.
I couldn’t find it in the documentation and I don’t have an instance of my own set up yet so I can’t test it. Hope someone else is able to answer that last bit.
This isn’t exactly a community ban list but it is a list of communities that have been removed.
Change the drop-down that says “All” to “Removing Communities”.
Cardinal is my favorite. It’s a fork of VCVrack and can be used as a plugin in Reaper.
Sometimes I compose entire pieces in Cardinal and then route each sound to its own track in Reaper. Other times I just use it as a drone or chaos noise machine.
First from my instance on here :D
I don’t see any comments on this post and this is also the only post I can see but I’ll be around.
Nice. What kind of headphones you rockin’?
1·1 year agoI’m working on a full deletion of my 15 yo account. Just waiting on my archive link so I at least have a backup.
I created a community for Reaper over on lemmy.studio.
The one time I’m actively hoping for them to cancel a show they don’t. What the fuck are they even thinking? I’d rather have another season of live action Cowboy Bebop than a season of Witcher without Henry. Watching the last three episodes of that show I’ll ever watch as I type this.
