nanoKontrol2 with Logic Pro 10.4.5

I downloaded the Logic 10.4.5 update, and suddenly my Korg nanoKontrol 2 stopped working. Previous to this, it worked without the driver and all of the controls worked entirely as expected. I was using the default setup, with the faders controlling the track volume, knobs controlling pan, etc.

I tried deleting it from the controller setup and re-adding it, but only the transport controls work. None of the faders, knobs or solo/mute/record buttons work.

I even tried installing the Korg drivers to see if that would work. No luck.

I’d love to hear from anyone with a similar experience or any suggestions.

Hi Dylan Winslow

They have fixed this problem in Logic Pro X new update 10.4.6

You can Update your Logic Pro X to 10.4.6 and see if this will solve your problem.

Before updating Logic, make sure to back up the currently installed version of the Logic application and your Logic projects.

I hope this was helpful and solved your problem.

Thanks for the reassurance Pancenter,

I just thought that Dylan's Korg Nano was plug n' play. nothing to do, no drivers, same as my Korg Micro Key keyboard I have, its the main reason I bought it!

When I updated from Logic 10.3.1 to 10.3.2 I had nothing to change.

Sorry to hear this PBordeaux

This is one reason I am still on Logic 10.3.2 and El Capitan, and don't bother with a controller either, less stuff, less to go wrong.

However, hoping everything gets sorted with Logic 10.4.5

So I downloaded 10.4.6 today, and while it doesn’t crash when I use a fader (yay), none of the controls actually do anything except for the 1st knob, which controls the pan on the selected track. I’ve tried trashing the com.apple.logic.pro.cs a couple of times, deleting it from the Control Surface setup, etc.

Anyone have any better experiences with this version?

Well I have to say this a has taught me a lot about MIDI mapping with Logic. Not what I wanted, but I manually restored some of the default functionality. Except every time I start Logic another ghost nanoKontrol is set up and blocks the assignments I created. Have to delete those new assignments each time. Ugh.

What’s the support situation with the Korg nano studio controller? If that automaps I might be persuaded to upgrade from my nanoKontrol 1s.

I haven’t. Where does that file live?

Dylan, did you remove the Korg driver?

Jun 14, 2019 3:25 AM in response to Pancenter

After reinstalling it and determining that it didn’t help, yes. I hadn’t used the Korg driver for years, since it was causing some midi issues.

Hi, I have the same problem.

Jul 31, 2019 2:29 AM in response to MrJLCrack

Okay, that's it.

Note sure in my book that a 2015 driver can be called up to date ...

Dylan, see below, you will only need to delete the Control Surfaces com.apple.logic.pro.cs file.

The reboot the computer with the nanoKontol unplugged, let the computer settle then plug the nanocontrol back in and see if you have any luck.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.

Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field. Note: exactly like this. ~/Library/Preferences

Press the Go button.

Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro. then delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.

It's true that way it works, but it's not the right one. Let's wait and see if the engineers will fix it in the next updates. Also add that the same thing happens to the automap.

Greetings.

Thank you.

I was pretty excited when I saw this on change log.

The only way to make it work was deleting the CS file, but I have to delete it every time I open Logic. if I close it an re open it without deleting that file it gets stuck again.

I'm getting stick to version 10.4.4 meanwhile there's a real fix.

Jul 31, 2019 7:48 AM in response to MrJLCrack

Well, at least that might explain how to get the nK buttons to light up like they used to :) Otherwise, yes, the latest plugin version is definitely there. And it's from 2015, I believe :/ um, thanks Korg?

My iMac and my Nanokontrol2 are again happy together thanks to 10.4.6.

Thanks for the fast support Apple!
