About native mode, i've searched the interweb for native mode. Interweb says i must send a sysex-string to the Kpk to enter or start native mode. So i've made a patch (which is also attached below) to send some sysex-strings, the strings were provided here - 

http://kpkproject.twoday.net/stories/3358632/

It seems there was a patch uploaded there too but i'm affraid it's lost now so i can't check how it works. So what am i doing wrong? I don't get the expected response from the Kpk when uploading the strings and i don't get any strings out. Thanks for any help.

 -This one probably held the answer judging by its title

few-questions-about-the-korg-padkontrol-and-sysex

you need to prefix hexadecimal numbers with "0x" (eg. 0x7F).

Also be sure to send to the right midi port.

Yo! Thanks man, you really helped me out there! My gratitude is very large :) I was starting to doubt my padkontrol.

One thing about your patch though, in the subpatch "p-interface" you loadbang the port-messages to the midiout's ( port "padkontrol A- CTRL" for example) the midiout's aren't accepting those messages. When i doubleclick on it says "microsoft synthesizer" even after clicking the reset-bang at the top it still won't select it.

Btw. a damn shame that you can't really use the knob on the left. I had plans for that one. :)

And this is for those struggeling with the same thing. Its just a simple patch to start with.

You're very welcome. Sharing is caring :)

It seem's that the midi port names differ between drivers/OSs.

"padKONTROL MIDI IN" = "padKONTROL Port 1"

"padKONTROL PORT A" = "padKONTROL Port 2"

"padKONTROL PORT B" = "padKONTROL Port 3"

You can use the knob on the left. But it's a digital encoder.

It sends a message for every step (CW or CCW) rather than an absolute value.

In my patch there's a little section on the toplevel, where the [r pk-enc] is.

It will increase/decrease an integer value accordingly.

Here's a subpatch, i forgot to post. I converts integers to ASCII, for outputing them to pk's display.

The other one is just for fun...let's your padkontrol go disco ;)

Maybe this will help:
"padKONTROL MIDI IN"  = "padKONTROL Port 1"
"padKONTROL PORT A"   = "padKONTROL Port 2"
"padKONTROL PORT B"   = "padKONTROL Port 3"

I love your ledparty (and especially when you turn it off, when the lcd fades it starts to show "predator"-like symbols nice...)

I also tried to change the portnames but that didn't work, i still have to set them manually but that's ok.

I finally mapped out all the values so now i can get to work :) i'll post my progress.

Here's a little someting i use for recording/playback of input, it doesn't work with sysex (yet) just connect it to a midiin. 3 inputs; 1=recording channel 2=toggle 3=input
