Configuring Pedal assignments in Komplete Kontrol MK2 for different templates

Configuring Pedal assignments in Komplete Kontrol MK2 for different templates

I need to configure pedal assignments for Komplete Kontrol MK2 but I need the pedals to respond to different MIDI channels depending on the Template assignments. In my live rig, I've two separate instances of Kontakt each accessed by a different Template. One is stand-alone which has my multi setups, and one in Studio One 3 which has my single instrument banks. I switch between the two templates and need to have different pedal assignments for each. However I notice that the Pedal A and Pedal B assignments seem to be global and are not programmable separately for individual Templates which was possible with Control Editor S61 MK1. Is there a work around for this situation?

 

Did anyone ever answer this question? Is it possible to do this?

 

No reply as yet.

 

The touch strip & pedal assignments are global at this point, hoping there will be an update to make them assignable per template. And the Pitch & Mod wheels only transmit on Ch 1. At least that is what is happening on mine. I thought they would follow a base keyboard Ch. Bit of a let down for sure.

 

I just spend hours programming layers and splits only to find out that the pedal midi channels did not change their channels!!!!! NI please fix this simple bug ! it's a no brainer!!!!

 

the same in 2021! NI?

 

What's the year got to do with it? Just because it is 2021 doesn't magically mean NI decide to implement every feature under the sun.... they are struggling to keep the current pace of 1 useful feature/bug fix per year.

This is not a bug, it's just how it is and there has not been any hint/mention it will be on a template-by-template basis, in fact the manual (for those that never read it, tho it would have saved you those hours of time) states:


So this is not a "bug" to be fixed as it is expected as per documentation, if you want it to be on a template basis you would have to post a feature request instead.

 

Ok, great. Yes I saw the manual. It's not a bug. So, is there any solution to use sustain pedal with different templates (when each has a different midi channel)? Even if it’s not a bug it makes a controller unusable in this context. Ant solution? I’m using Logic Pro. Should I set something in Environment or maybe I should by Mainstage3? But I’d like to see my splits on the keyboard (led colors). Any experienced users?
