Routing question

[wouterdewitte]

Hi people ii have a question with which i hope you can help me with..
I own an old Korg Koass Pad 1 which i recently found again when i was moving to my new house.. Haven't used it for ages because i think it sounds like a tin can. But it does have a nice X/Y which i would like to use in production (and perhaps later also in dj'ing)
Does anybody know if this is possible?
I'd like to use the midi out and send it to ableton live.
I use an audio 8 dj for my soundcard.
here are some pics to help..

Whats the goal exactly. Do you want to use the midi functions only? Or do you want to route your audio trough the chaos-pad also? If that's the case, i would conenct it like i would use it in a DJ-setup. That means that i would router my master (or send/recieve) trough the chaos pad.

I'd say the answer is yes.

I, after much ball-ache, managed to get the traktor kontrol S1 linked to ableton as a midi controller. no reason you should be able to do the same with this.

You need to go into preferences, midi sync tab. there will be disappointed to find no KAosPAd.

Unfortunately, Ableton's supported device list for Instant Mappings does not contain every possible controller. To add a unsupported controller:

1. Go to:

Mac: [Your home folder]/Library/Preferences/Ableton/[your version]/User Remote Scripts/

Windows: [Windows boot drive]/Users/ [your Username]/AppData/Roaming/Ableton/[your version]/Preferences/User Remote Scripts/

2. You should see a UserConfiguration.txt file in this directory. This is the template that you will use to create custom controller mappings for Ableton.

3. Create a new directory under "User Remote Scripts" and name it what you want your controller named in Ableton.

4. Copy the UserConfiguration.txt file in to the new directory for your controller. (make sure to copy and not move, as you may need a clean template later.)

5. Open the UserConfiguration.txt you just copied in to the new controller directory and follow the template to specify what you want each knob/button/slider to control (You will need the MIDI CC data from each control on your controller to configure this file.)

6. Save UserConfiguration.txt

Now open Ableton and go back to the MIDI tab in preferences. If you've done everything correctly, you will now notice your custom controller name in the 6 pull downs for Instant Mappings.

Good luck.
