How to get Kontrol D2 working with Melodics.
Some Kontrol users may have a few issues when getting started with Melodics (for example, you may not be able to map it, some or all pads may not work for a particular lesson, or pads trigger incorrect hits). This is because Kontrol is awesomely customisable, and supports lots of different mappings – not all of which work with Melodics. Fear not, we'll have you up and running in no time.
The NI Controller Editor, with a new template created, and the pads selected
Before you start
In order to get going, you need to ensure:
- Device drivers for Kontrol D2 are installed
- The Native Instruments Controller Editor is installed
Both of these should have been done when you first set up your Kontrol D2.
Getting Kontrol D2 going
- Ensure you are in MIDI Mode by pressing SHIFT + BACK
- Open the Native Instruments Controller Editor, select Templates h Edit h New
- Select all the Pads in the main waindow by SHIFT + CLICKing them
- Click Assign in the top right corner
- In the Type drop down, select Note
And you should be ready to go!
