Nanopad, EZDrummer lite and TT solo problems

[xeobass]

I have recently bought the Korg NanoPad, installed EZDrummer lite, and TT Solo along with updating allt eh drivers associated with the nanopad and still cannot get TTS to acknowledge the input after setting it as the midi device…

I then downloaded the updated version of TTS but it claims not to be able to from a drummer even though it has the same path to EZdrummer as the previous version does. To note I do still have both installed, would having the original stop the newer version from working?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also I am using ASIO4ALL v2 if that makes any difference. Win7 64-bit.

Thanks in advance,
Xeo

If you are running the 64-bit version of Toontrack solo, it needs to load the 64-bit version of EZdrummer, which EZdrummer Lite isn’t.
The 32-bit and 64-bit versions can co-exist.
Why you do not get MIDI input, I don’t know. Does the nanoPAD work with other hosts?

Thanks for the reply, that would make a lot of sense =)

NanoKontrol acknowledges the nanopad as I can semi program it. But i have no programs which will take a midi input for me to test it. Any tips on free programs I can download to test it?

BTW the old TTS with EZDrummer works when clicked so my sound is working but nothing with the nanopad. Setting the midi device it has nanopad as an option (no tick box like the new TTS) and I have tried all the channels though I assume omni will get access to the working ones anyway.

Thanks for the help,

Please try e.g. Reaper, then. It can be downloaded and tried for free.
Which Audio interface are you using?
Have you updated the drivers for it?

Thanks I’ll try Reaper, drivers are all up to date.

What do you mean by audio interface? I’m using ASIO4ALL v2, hardware wise i’ve got a basic’ish intel chipset for a laptop.

I’ll reply once i’ve tried it, thanks for the help.

I have just installed and tried Reaper and it is not acknowledging any midi imputs from the Nanopad though does recognise the pad is plugged in and brings it up in the options as a device. Also my computer is recognising the nanopad is plugged in as does nanokontrol software.

Going on the sound settings of my computer and using the tests my speakers are working but Realtek digital output test produces no sound …

Using reaper and recording it doesn’t record any input from my nanopad so not playing sound is not the only problem.

All my system sounds are on and I can play music and EZDer lite (using mouse) and play midi tracks in windows media player but nothing from the nanopad …

Any help/tips on solving this?

Thank you,
Xeo

Edit; I have checked for driver updates through windows and they are all up to date.

it is worth noting that the Nanopad has several ‘ports’… from memory Port 2 is the one to choose, although it may be system / firmware dependent. Anyway, I would recommend you contact Korg for further details, assuming the (Korg) manual does not provide the answer.

It is worth noting as well that ASIO4ALL lists specific issues in relation to Realtek hardware as resolved in the 2.10 release notes, so make sure you have the latest installed. And of course, as always, if you get the nanopad recognized, latency may still be an issue (an on-board soundcard is no replacement for an audio application graded sound card).

Hello,

I´m experiencing the same troubles with Nanopad. Everything´s installed, MIDI driver, the right scenes are written. The PC recognizes the Nanopad. I don´t really understand…
I´m hopeless…
