question

Could this be configured to control software such as lightroom or premiere pro?
Asked by: Blair C.
This is feedback from users of this product.As long as you do not install the Korg MIDI USB drivers, it has the potential to be mapped to different DAWs. However with that being said, Korg as a manufacturer does not guarantee this controller to work with anything that does not support their drivers.

I want to know that, does this controller can use in Sound Device Mixpre-10T?
Asked by: Kong
On March 16, 2021, Sound Devices released firmware for their MixPre recorders (all models) that lists USB control capability from this Kong NanoKontrol2 and several others. So yes, this controller will work to control the MixPre-10T. https://www.sounddevices.com/mixpre-firmware-v3-00/

question

when this controller is used to control more than 9 channels..we need to go to the next bank of faders and after returning to first bank (1-9) previous values of software mixer faders jumped to the new settings when we try to move sliders of nano kontrol?
Asked by: Anonymous
Because the faders are not automated, they will remain in the same physical position when you jump from one bank to another. However the levels on each bank will not change when you shift banks. The levels on the next set of banks will ONLY begin to change if you begin touching the faders.
