Libkontrol is a tiny library which uses the padKontrol native mode.

The tar.gz file contains the library and a example. The library will be installed in ~/.local/lib

Compilation and installation

• compile the library:

• install the library in  ~/.local/lib and .h file in ~/.local/include:

•   compile the example:

Test the example

Using Qjackctl or Patchage connect the second output of the padKontrol to the libkontrol input and the libkontrol output to the second input of your pad.

A few seconds later the native mode will be activated and the segment display 'On'

Don't expect to much now. You can just turn on and off pads and make the switch buttons blink.

 What's next

 For now the implementation of all the controls is complete, however there is still dump and scene configuration features to implement. Furthermore alsa seq should permits some fancy effects and ensures everything is in sync.

There is still missing the most important. Applications!! Step sequencer, grooves box and everything you can imagine ...
