[Logical user]

Dear users. Have you experience how to turn Logic Pro X instruments’ knobs with Korg Nano Kontrol 2? Currently it only adjust track volume or pan. Thanks for advice.

Have you tried Smart Controls?

Thanks, tried without success; only channel volume and pan turns.

Not sure what you've tried so far, have you tried to open the External Assignment area (in the Smart Controls inspector) and Learn a knob on the Nano? Then open the Parameter Mapping area and Learn a plug-in parameter.

The NanoKontrol 2 has modes for various DAWs as well as a generic mode where it just sends CC and such (the exact messages can be programmed with the free editor). If you use the generic mode, Smart Controls can be mapped to the knobs and sliders easily. The Logic mode can still be used for transport and mixer control.

The bad news is that to switch modes requires powering down the unit by unplugging the USB cable and then reinserting the cable while holding particular buttons (good job, Korg 😵).  Check the single sheet "manual" for details.

Not sure if this functionality is what you're looking for, but it helped me integrate a Nano2 into my Logic workflow. The advice at 4:45 solved my specific problem. But perhaps something else might help you.

It's a clearly explained tutorial, in any event.

Now it worked. I did like this: Open Smart Controls > Disconnect NanoKontrol 2 > Press and hold Cycle-button down and plug in NanoKontrol 2 > Release Cycle-button. Then NanoKontrol 2 went to mood to turn knobs in Smart Control.
