  • Page 2: Introduction

    NO MENU DIVING The concept of the KNTRL9 is to give you direct and easy control over your live set. No buttons that lead to tedious menus for which you don’t have time during your performance or recording session.
  • Page 3 SUPPORT If you have any questions about the KNTRL9, feel free to send me a mail directly at koen@midique.com or use the chat on the website www.midique.com. IMPORTANT Don’t forget to download the editor on www.midique.com/pages/downloads! ONE MORE THING As you probably know, I run this company alone. I’ve worked hard to make this product perfect and bug-free, and each product has been tested thoroughly before shipping.

    THE KNTRL9 The KNTRL9 is a class compliant MIDI controller that will work with any software or hardware that supports MIDI. It will automatically be detected by your operating system (Windows or Mac) and can be used immediately with your favorite DAW. It also works with any MIDI hardware over the MIDI OUT port.
  • Page 6: Features

    Use these 300˚ knobs to send CC, NRPN or 14 bits CC messages to your DAW/hardware. 9 PROGRAMMABLE FULL COLOR LEDS You can setup the color of these LEDs using the KNTRL9 editor. In Ableton they will automatically assume the color of the track in Ableton (when using the downloadable MIDI remote script).
  • Page 7: Getting Started

    Follow the instructions on the website. Of course, you can still use the KNTRL9 without the MIDI Remote script! Just use Ableton’s MIDI learn functionality to use your KNTRL9 like any other MIDI controller in Ableton live.
  • Page 8 To select a preset on the KNTRL9, hold shift (△) and press left (◁) or right (▷). The LEDs will show which preset is selected (1 LED = preset 1, 2 = preset 2 etc.). When you release shift, the selected preset will be activated and can be used.

    USING THE EDITOR The KNTRL9 Editor is a tool that works on Windows and Mac with which you can setup the KNTRL9.

The settings for your selected control can be edited on the right.
  • Page 11 DISABLE CONTROL The control will be disabled, meaning that no MIDI signal will be sent when moving the control. CONTROL CHANGE The selected knob will send standard MIDI Control Change (CC) messages. Number The MIDI CC Number (0-127). This is the unique number of the knob.
  • Page 12 If you made a preset for a specific hardware device, feel free to send it to (koen@midique.com) me so I can publish it on the website. UPDATE FIRMWARE In order to improve the KNTRL9, firmware updates might be published on the website (www.midique.com/pages/downloads). You can use this tool to install updates.

    STAND If you ordered the stand, you’ll need to assemble it using the included screws and tool. Be careful when screwing on the two holders: the screws should be pointing outwards.
