USB MIDI CONTROL SURFACE FULL

I doubt that the full MIDI specs are published on the Digidesign controllers but there might be something somewhere.

USB MIDI CONTROL SURFACE HOW TO

If someone with a Digi 002 could hook it up to a sequencer and record the data as keys are pressed, faders are moved and knobs are turned, then we'd know how to set up other parameters on the nanoKontrol. What I don't know is what all the messages are that the Digi 002 sends for the various functions. As long as you can send the messages that MC expects for various functions, it should work.

This is just a tip from someone who's already taken a shot at doing things 'on the cheap.' Multiple units can be connected (USB, powered by the bus) to add to the number of channels available.ДЄnd, no, this isn't supported by Avid. The 9 strips have a fader, a knob and 2 buttons. It has 9 control strips and transport controls. Yep, I know that sounds like it's no good but for anyone who doesn't have $1000, $5000, $10000 or more for a Mackie or a Digidesign, this one is worth a look. What I bought for about $60 is a Korg nanoKontrol. The faders are very smooth - about as smooth or smoother than those on the MCI recording/mixing console I used at the studio. When I looked at one up-close and operated the faders and knobs, I decided that it was much better than I had thought. It looked far too small and it was 'far too inexpensive' to be any good from what I could tell. I had written it off myself based on what I had read online about it. With data on what control messages are used by other functions on the Digi 002, I could program other functions on this controller. With a little experimenting (which also didn't take long), I found that if I set MC as if the Digi 002 was connected and if I set the control surface to its factory-loaded 'scene' 4 (one of 4 sets of preset configurations which are user-programmable), this unit would control level with the faders and panning with the knobs in MC's Audio Mixer. Once I was through running this thing through its paces in Sonar, I decided to see if I could get it to work in MC. It was so much easier than doing the same thing with the mouse and keyboard. It took little time to set up and get working in Sonar so I did some rough mixes on several songs. I've really missed having a mixing console for my audio work, so I got it for use with Sonar. I won't say what model it is until later otherwise you might not read any further.

Tonight, I bought my first control surface.
