Updating MicroKontrol Infinite Encoders
Jun 11 2008 | 6:25 pm
I'm using a MicroKontrol's endless encoders to control knobs in Max. I
want changes in Max to update the MicroKontrol's encoders.
int[0-127] -> ctlout[cc#] doesn't seem to work.
I'm guessing that the MicroKontrol won't allow Max to control it by
default, but maybe there's something special I need to do in Max. Any
ideas?

- Jun 11 2008 | 9:46 pmFrom what I remember, the microKONTROL and its siblings only implement 2-way communication in Native Korg Mode (sysex-only).When using regular MK scenes, the microKONTROL cannot be updated by the app (and the messages sent by the encoders are not actually endless).The Native mode sysex documentation is available from Korg's website. You may find some patches posted in the archive here too.

Might just make me sell my MicroKontrol.On Wed, Jun 11, 2008 at 5:46 PM, John Pitcairn wrote: > > >From what I remember, the microKONTROL and its siblings only implement 2-way communication in Native Korg Mode (sysex-only). > > When using regular MK scenes, the microKONTROL cannot be updated by the app (and the messages sent by the encoders are not actually endless). > > The Native mode sysex documentation is available from Korg's website.

- Jun 12 2008 | 6:44 amIf you dont mind a little sysex programming, all aspects of the microKontrol can be programmed and updated. You can change the text in the LCDs, light up the pads ( with diff colors ) and use the main encoder...I have a padKontrol and have used native mode extensively and ill say it turns the controller into a completely different beast...
