Under Construction

Support for the Korg nanoKONTROL2 is planned with the next version of Box Of Stops. The rest of this page is in preparation for that release...


Box Of Stops comes with built-in support for the Korg nanoKONTROL2. This means:

  • It can turn on the lights on the device, to show which stops, couplers or combinations are playing
  • Understand the layout of the buttons, sliders and knobs

Assigning buttons

Because there are typically more stops, couplers and combinations in a Registration than there are buttons on the nanoKONTROL2, Box Of Stops doesn't try to auto-arrange these in the same way it does for the Akai APC Mini.

To assign a button on the nanoKONTROL2, just press that button while adding a trigger to an stop, coupler or combination. Once you OK the screen, that button will start to illuminate when the control is playing.

Note that not all buttons on the nanoKONTROL2 have lights behind them. The picture above shows all the available lights illuminated in Red.

Assigning volume controls

Any of the 16 sliders and knobs on the nanoKONTROL2 can be assigned as volume controls for the banks and master volume.

To assign a slider or knob, the system is actually the same as assigning a volume pedal:

  • First edit a bank or edit the registration
  • Click the Plus.png icon
  • Now move the slider or knob you want to assign
  • Once you OK the screen, the control will be ready to use

Layout

Box Of Stops is aware of the layout of the nanoKONTROL2. This means it is able to show meaningful names for the controls, e.g. "Rewind" instead of "Control Change #43".

Timeout

After 10 minutes of inactivity, Box Of Stops will automatically timeout the lights on the nanoKONTROL2.

It will wake up again when activity is next detected. This could be anything, e.g. a button on the nanoKONTROL2, or a note being pressed on a keyboard.

If you wish to change the 10 minute default, please look for the midi.timeout.minutes value in Application properties.
