Troubleshooting Native Instruments KONTROL F1.

NI’s awesome KONTROL devices communicate using a special protocol, and can also be used as a MIDI device with the correct software installed – which is what we need to get it running with Melodics!

Before you start

In order to get going, you need to ensure that the Native Instruments Controller Editor is installed – this should have been done when you first set up your KONTROL.

Getting KONTROL F1 going

Open the Controller Editor, select Template 1
If template 1 has been modified, create a new template to select and use Templates h Edit h New
If this still doesn't work, check you are in MIDI (not TRAKTOR) mode using the below

Model	Switch to / from MIDI mode
KONTROL F1	SHIFT + BROWSE

And you should be ready to go!

If you're still having issues, please don't hesitate to get in touch via the Support page.
