Mike Fahl Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 We've been using the Korg Nano series quite a lot lately. They have a number of different configurations. They're really small and we haven't had any trouble with them. Just my personal opinion - not an official endorsement. Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanluc Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Hello! I've been using the Behringer BCF2000 last two week without any problem. I'm missing a pointing device, something like a simple joystick, a trackball or a trackpad to control a virtual follow-spot. If anyone knows. Thanks, Jean-Luc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner Walter Posted March 16, 2013 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I use the akai mpk25. Lot's of rotary's and buttons. And room to make notes. Both pads, keyboard and rotary's have banks if it's not enough for your show, but you can always daisy chain multiple types of keyboards to increase the number of options as long as you can program the midi (start) address of them (otherwise you send the same notes from different keypads). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graphicgeezer Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I have all three Korg, Behringer and Akai. My weapon of choice is the Behringer as the sliders are long and smooth so I can do manual fades easily. The Korg is great because its really small if you prefer to trigger the timeline and let watchout do the fade via a tween. the Akai is well built and has a nice 'feel' . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Dannert Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Isn't that a question of your needs? Not what's best? Kontrol give you more possibilities, though. There are two versions of KORG Nano: Nano (old): http://www.korg.de/fileadmin/_korg/_produkte/pc-tools/kr_nano/nanoBK.jpg Nano Series2: http://www.korg.com/nanoseries2 http://www.lithium.com/legacyfs/online/14296_Korg_nano2.jpg /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I use the Korg nanoKONTROL2 to fire AUX timelines and adjust a few fades. Pros: It's affordable, runs via usb, gives light feedback to buttons when you push them, and doesn't require a special driver for the windows machines I have used it on. Cons: Cheapest quality sliders on the planet. They pretty much fall off the unit if you shake it too hard. So, for a push-button cue solution, it's great. For a fade solution, try something else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikefynn Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Why don't Dataton take it upon themselves to partner with one of the above mentioned midi control manufacturers and design a purpose built Watchout Control Desk, labeling them with the specific tweens that Watchout allows, and also giving us the end users a purpose built piece of hardware rather than shooting in the dark at all these music production hardware tools. If you can find a Midi Controller with a Joystick, horizontal slider, vertical slider, buttons with space for labeling rotary nobs as well as whatever else would be ideal for Watchout, I'd happily buy it, but I get the feeling none of them offer us all the tools we need. Surely it would be beneficial for everyone concerned as well as a new form of revenue for Dataton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxav Daniel Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Hi With that Nanokeys im getting "Buffer Overflows". the BCF is working fine. I read ist something with the Chanel or something like that. Do you have also Buffer overflows? Also it would be nice to have a Programm, that show me all Midi Devices connected with the ID. Any Idea? Since last week i try to use "Emulator", thats not easy... Grettings Daniel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fahl Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 With that Nanokeys im getting "Buffer Overflows". the BCF is working fine. What WATCHOUT version? I recall we fixed something a while back in this area, so I suspect you use something older than 5.5. Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator jfk Posted November 27, 2013 Moderator Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thanks Friedrick i understand but my question was in which way ?? wifi ?? For iPad apps via WiFi, there is a third party Windows driver that accepts the network signal and provides it to Windows as standard MIDI communications. Any Windows compliant MIDI interface will do, WATCHOUT receives MIDI from standard Win OS services. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fahl Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Mist MIDI interfaces connect over USB these days, I'd say. But other options exist as well. As long as the OS sees it as a MIDI device, it should work with WATCHOUT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomT Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hi Mike, afaik it must be the default midi device !? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak english Interesting, but can it works also with a watchpax cluster? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fahl Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Yes, I believe it reads only the default MIDI device. Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisualBandits Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I´m using both A Korg NanoKontrol (old one with 9 faders) and a Korg NanoKey2. The Key for triggering timelines, the Kontrol faders and knobs for opacity, position, crop etc. Midi-OX for mapping them both. /robert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most reliable way to connect MIDI to a WATCHOUT computer is via a MIDI - USB interface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
