KORG USB-MIDI Driver
MIDI IN port
This is where MIDI messages from the nanoPAD2's various controllers are
received. If you want to use the nanoPAD2 to control an application on your
computer, then select this port in the MIDI input settings of your application.
This is also used by the Korg Kontrol Editor to control the nanoPAD2.
MIDI OUT port
This port is used by the Korg Kontrol Editor to control the nanoPAD2.
If you are using Windows XP/Vista/7, the standard USB-MIDI driver
that is automatically installed will not allow you to use the nanoPAD2
with multiple applications simultaneously.
If you want to use the nanoPAD2 with multiple applications
simultaneously, you must install the Korg USB-MIDI driver.
You can download the Korg USB-MIDI driver from the Korg website,
and install it as described in the included documentation.

Troubleshooting
Power does not turn on
• If you're using a passive (non-powered) USB hub, the nanoPAD2 may fail
to power-on because it's not getting enough power. If this is so, please
connect the nanoPAD2 to a powered USB hub or directly to your computer.
Software does not respond
• Make sure that the nanoPAD2 has been detected by the connected computer.
If you are using Windows XP, go to the Control Panel, open "Sounds, Speech,
and Audio Devices" -> "Sounds and Audio Devices," and check the
"Hardware" tab page to see if the nanoPAD2 is connected.
If you are using Windows Vista/7, go to the Control Panel, open "Hardware
and Sounds" -> "Device Manager," and check the "Sound, Video, and Game
Controllers" tab to see if the nanoPAD2 is connected.
If you are using Mac OS X, open "Applications" -> "Utilities," then start
"Audio MIDI Setup."
On Mac OS X 10.5 or earlier, check the "MIDI Devices" tab.
On Mac OS X 10.6 or later, open and check the "MIDI Studio" window by
selecting "Show MIDI Window" from the "Window" menu.
• Make sure that the nanoPAD2 is selected in the MIDI port settings of the
application that you're using.
• The application that you're using might not support certain functions. Please
check the owner's manual of your host application.
