Hi do you think it’s possible to replace the mini usb port on this, with a usb c connector bought online? I actually have a Korg Nanokey 2 but I think it’s the same setup.

Lemo -

Technically yes, but it won’t be easy as the pins are probably in different locations. There are only 4 pins on a USB micro B connector (not in order: Ground, 5V, D+, D-) and there are 24 on a USB C connector (12 different x2). If you have a way of connecting the right pins up then you can use a Dremel or another tool to make the connector fit through the hole if needed.

jzohsuh -

Yeah maybe I can solder it via some wires if it doesn’t fit directly. Actually I have zero experience in soldering, but I can get the stuff online, and then bring it to a shop to solder it for me I think. How about this, do you think it’s okay? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10050014...

Lemo -

Also do you think that connector on this page is configured correctly as “host” if I buy the female port? Or I might need a resistor to change the mode similar to what he’s doing on this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-vFtiDY...

Lemo -

Yes, that aliexpress link could work, provided you make enough space for it. For the resistor, I think it is likely that you'll have to change the mode, but you'll need to check once you've got the part.
I realise this is quite a delayed reply, sorry!

One of my faders is working funny ¿Will it be posible to fix?

Joaquin -

Maybe you can try to blow dry air into the fader. On the Novation Launch Control XL, the buggy faders may be serviced just by a dust clean on the fader.

Toyoto -

hello, my controller is corrupted (midi nano... corrupted) since a windows update, now the faders are going crazy by themselfs, i use ableton

Hi there - I know it's a few years later, but my unit just stopped powering on. I've taken it apart per these instructions, but I'm not sure which part is likely to be the culprit. Tried different cables, different USB ports, different PCs, hard resets. Would love some guidance if you have any. Thank you!
