<h2>Set-up</h2>
<p>Begin by installing the midi drivers for the nanoKONTROL2. Downloadable drivers are on the <a href="http://www.korg.com/support">Korg support web page</a>, along with firmware updaters for the control surface. (Select nanoSERIES2 from the drop-down widget on that page).</p>
<p>From the same page, download the current version of the Korg Kontrol Editor. This program can be used to remap the midi control codes sent by individual controls on the device. This version of Video Director 4 uses the default factory code mapping, but you should use the "button behavior" option on the drop-down box to change the behavior of the Stop, Play, and Record buttons from "momentary" to "toggle". These are the buttons with control codes 42, 41, and 45 respectively.</p>

<h3>MidiPipe</h3>
<p>Next, install <a href="http://www.subtlesoft.square7.net/MidiPipe.html">Nico Wald's MidiPipe</a>. This program pipes control codes from the nanoKONTROL2 to AppleScript. MidiPipe is a strikingly useful utility for controlling all sorts of things from any midi control surface, not just the nanoKONTROL2. You'll find it useful for all sorts of projects. Please consider making a modest donation to Nico to ensure that we have MidiPipe for future revs of Mac OS. Most of his users are starving musicians, so supporting this product is especially important.</p>

Some of these directories will be empty. More on that later.</p>

<h3>Control Configuration</h3>
<p>Connect your nanoKONTROL2 to your computer and open the Korg Kontrol Editor. From the File menu of the Korg Kontrol Editor, open the file VideoDirector4.nktrl2_data. From the Communication menu, choose Write Scene Data. This will reconfigure your nanoKONTROL2 to work with Video Director 4. </p>

<blockquote>The <b>Titles and Logos</b> directories are used for graphics with transparent backgrounds. Items in these directories can be made to appear over your live camera shots. Since there are two such directories you can independently control two graphic overlays. If you have two items you wish to appear together place one in each directory.</blockquote>
<blockquote>The <b>Cameras</b> directory is normally empty because there is no file representation for a live camera. This is why we configured the camera and saved it in the "empty" VideoDirector.wcst file.</blockquote>
<blockquote>The <b>Audio</b> directory can be used for audio recordings, such as sound effects, that you want to include in your program. Live microphones could also be configured on the Audio Layer in Wirecast, but as with live cameras, there is no way to save those configurations anywhere except the "empty" Video Director 4.wcst file.</blockquote>
<blockquote>The <b>Backgrounds</b> directory is the place to put full-screen slides and any pre-recorded video segments you want to play during your program.</blockquote>
<p><b>A note about naming files:</b> Except for files in the Backgrounds directory, the first three files in each directory will be accessible at the press of a single button on the nanoKONTROL2. If you have more than three files for any one layer you may want to rename the files to ensure they are loaded in the proper order. You can prefix the file name with "1-", "2-", "3-". For the Backgrounds directory, the first seven files will have dedicated buttons assigned.</p>

<h2>Operation</h2>
<p>If you have not yet used the Korg configuration application to change the Stop, Play and Record buttons, to "toggle" mode, you should do that now. Consult the documentation that comes with the configuration program. </p>
<p>If you have not yet used the Korg configuration application to load the nonoKontrol2 configuration as outlined above, you should do that now. </p>

<p> Plug your nanoKONTROL2 into your computer. Close Wirecast if it is open. Open the MidiPipe application and then open the file named VideoDirector4.mipi in the Scripts directory we created above. </p>
