Ableton 8 / 9 MIDI Scripts for Korg Microkontrol

Primary LanguagePython

Ableton 8 / 9 - Korg Microkontrol Drivers

These scripts were originally shipped with the Akai APC-40 and modified by Will Crossland to make it work with the Korg Microkontrol.

Despite the Korg Microkontrol is still one of the best keyboard controller available these days (It's not just beautiful but the layout of the knobs and sliders are just perfect.), there is no proper native support for it in Ableton 8 and 9 to support it's capabilities properly.

The Python Scripts in this package will take the native Ableton support a step further; the current instrument's parameters will be displayed on the Korg Microkontrol's LCD panels correctly, your drum pad will help you to switch between tracks and devices, and you can use the middle buttons as a send interface. All the knobs/sliders will be dynamically mapped to the current instrument.

  • The provided scripts will work perfectly with Ableton 8.
  • Support for Ableton 9 is in progress (Tamas Kalman)
