Swishboyd Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 My nano has some buttons to turn a selected patch on or off. They turn the respective patches on just fine, but when I push the button to turn them off they toggle off and right back on again. In short: the patch effectively won’t turn off. I’ve reset my nano, remapped those buttons, nothing works. Oh, and I’ve used a different keyboard and a friend’s nano and the same thing happens. I’m using a recent MacBook Air and the latest OS. Any help would be AWESOME.

gacki Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 What kind of command are those buttons sending? Note on/off? Are they sending one command when being pressed and another one when being released? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrdjf Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I have a controller that sends a note on when I push a button and a note off when I release it. For mapping to buttons on screen I find I have to, in order: 1. Click or move the screen control I want to target 2. Press command L 3. Press (but don’t release!) the controller button I want to map, 4. Press command L to turn off mapping mode, and 5. Release the controller button only after that. Maybe this will work for you? 1 Quote MBP 13" 2017, Monterey, Logic 10.7.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up redoing my entire setup, still with the NanoKontrol 2, and now the stupid buttons will not map at all. They show as unmapped/available, and when I go through the mapping process they still show as unmapped. I love technology..............

I'm going to give this a try. I want the button to act like a light switch, turning a patch on when I push it, and off if I push it again.

grrdjf Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) You might also need to use their terrible editing software to confirm/change the midi signals your Nanokontrol2 is sending if it’s not sending something MainStage can work with. Just Google “Nanokontrol2 editor.” Hope this helps. Edited May 21 by grrdjf Quote MBP 13" 2017, Monterey, Logic 10.7.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mac sees the Nano, and responds when I push the buttons so I don't think there's a MIDI issue between the Nano and the Mac. It's just the virtual nano I built on the MainStage screen won't allow me to map the buttons. I can map all the faders and nobs, just not the buttons. I even put a new button on the screen and tried to map it to see if I could troubleshoot and it just didn't work.

So it appears it's the on/off function that is causing the problem and not the buttons themselves. Weird....

I had to open the instrument screen and click the power button there as opposed to the mini button that appears when I hover my mouse over the input on the mixer. Thanks again everyone!
