Everytime I try to load a scene it says not connected but midi still works. Anyone else ever had a problem?
RetouchRpk is pretty cool for improving padkontrol integration with Reason. The pads light up when the beat is playing

Nah, I'm up to date even downloaded again just to be sure. The last driver update was like in 2014 I believe. For some reason it keeps saying not connected.phasys wrote:I think I had something similar once.

I would disconnect the PadKontrol, then uninstall the driver, powerdown your PC (not just reboot, physically power down and remove the power chord for a minute or two), then restart your PC, download and install the drivers and then finally, plug your padkontrol back in.
Try that.
Then if that doesn't work, then try your padKontrol on a different USB port.
I don't know if these will help, but it will should at least eliminate USB as the issue.
Could also try factory resetting the PadKontrol and starting again with the driver install etc.
Don't forget also to download and install the Scene Sets from Korg's website.

Another thing I'm puzzled about is why I can't use the midi out cable straight to my triton keyboard? I have to use the usb and use midi out from FL studio to make it work.
The PadKontrol isn't all that intuitive to me unfortunately.
It was gathering dust until I installed Reason RpK. Now it's much better!
I do think the actual pads on it are really nice and playable.

I am resurrecting an old thread, but I am about to purchase this RpK thing and I have a couple of questions.
First, is loopMIDI the only other component required? The ReTouch web site was unclear. I have loopMIDI, but the web site sort of implied the Bome MIDI Translator was also required (another $30-60).
Second question, when using the padKontrol with the "Master Keyboard" scene, does the X-Y pad still control the pitch and mod wheels?

I've traced the most common USB peripheral issues to lack of power. A proper powered USB hub can help ensure any USB device is getting enough power. Motherboard USB jacks can vary and so can those front panel jacks.
I'm a happy Korg padKONTROL owner and I never had any problems with Reason. I do use the Korg driver package available from their web site. My OS is Win 7.

Bome MIDI Translator Classic is the smaller sister of MIDI Translator Pro. It has the same powerful MIDI processing engine, but can only convert MIDI messages to other MIDI messages, or to keystrokes. Also, the rules and conditional MIDI translation are not available with the Classic Edition.
The Classic Edition is only available for Windows and it will not evolve anymore. It is free for personal use.

Thanks for that info.
