PK [Squared]

Pk Squared

Hi friends, now we've finally gotten round to finishing the PK Squared app - it's been simplified, we've added Mackie Control Support and made it an all-round pleasing experience for y'all.

  • The lights now behave "properly"; when a note is on in Live the light stays on. If you go to a different octave range or midi channel the pad lighting will respond to the notes coming from there.
  • The Encoder now transmits midi,
  • The Knob assign 1 and 2 buttons are used to select octave/channel (like one would have on a regular keyboard)
  • SCENE, MESSAGE, Fixed Velocity, Prog Change, Hold, Flam, Roll buttons all output midi
  • The X/Y field doesn't reset when you release it anymore.
  • The Pedal input is hard-wired to sustain. No messing about.
  • The Parameter section now navigates the session view by using Mackie Control Emulation, and you can show hide browser, clip view from the x/y/ buttons while controlling undo/redo from the pedal and setting buttons.
  • App automatically saves its midi input/output settings: set and forget!
 
The development of this application has stopped on the account of the CovOps not actually using and owning a PadKontrol anymore. Therefore we have released the source code for anybody to tinker with. This isn't the finished application, its a collection of little bits of programming that allow communication with the PadKontrol.

Hello,

I understand that you have stopped development on this patch. However, I have a question...

The neverending frustration for users of Ableton Live and the KP3 seems to be getting it to map in Live. It can be done, as there's (very few) videos of people using the x/y as a midi controller, but Live reads the data from the pad as the same output (meaning you can't map x without mapping y to the same parameter). It looks as if this patch might provide a workaround, but I'll be damned if I can figure out how. Might you have any thoughts on the issue?

Thanks so much!

Hi Justin,

The patch does not provide a workaround as far as I can recall.
The problem is that 2 CC's are being sent at once. In order to not have to deal with messing around to get it right, you could just send those CC's from a different MIDI Port. For example routing a CC in a clip with a virtual MIDI Driver to the parameter you wish to control.
Its not exactly much easier, but less annoying.

Sorry we couldn't be of further assistance. Its been a while since we played with the PK.

Cheers

Hi could you explain me the way to light led on PK, I can't do this I m really nobs but plz I need a bit help;-)

Dude! This is SICK!! Way easier than Farmpad.

But why do the MIDI notes start from pad 01 and increase to #16. This seems SUPER unintuitive for a drum controller. Is there anyway to invert this.

Otherwise, in tandam with the transpose function, it's a freaking KILLER Drum Rack controller. But as is, it's kind of wack as the hits are all upside-down.

Hi Oliver,

Its one of the reasons we provided the source files. Changes like this can be made for custom needs.

Not sure why the order is the way it is. Its been a long while since we played with this code or a PK for that matter.

Kind Regards,

hello guys,

i´ve got two questions about the pk square stuff.
is it for live only or can i use it logic or prottools too?
i also download the max 5 source files and i realized that there is a file missed called pk1. is it availible and where i can download it?

thanks a lot,
johannes
Vayner   |2010-10-11 01:43:40
Hi Johannes,

I updated the package to include the pk1.pat file.

This should work with any software. The patch is just a MIDI parser. Nothing was made specifically for Live.

Cheers

cool!

thanks bjorn.
sorry i´ve forgot to say that it seems that change-l.mxe is a window or an older max external format than 4.6. i can´t open it...
is this part of an libary?

thanks in forward,

jo

The original site it came from seems busted. This stuff definitely pre-dates Max 4.6.

I'm sorry we can't help more with this patch. We haven't had one of these units in years. These days everything has pads that light up and that was mostly why we tinkered with this in the first place.
johannes  - last ques   |2010-10-11 05:21:34
nevermind!

anyway, i´ve some problems to understand what exactly happend inside of pk [squared].
did you guys like to share the finished application source code? that would be very helpful forme and all max programmers.

thanks for your help,
pace johannes

We've lost some files along the way in a harddrive crash. These were all the bits we managed to salvage. Sorry.
