Wac.KMKnativeIO
A Max5 Patch that uses javascript to handle the convoluted sysex communication required to use a Korg Microkontrol in 'Native Mode'
The patch acts as a communications bridge, providing full interaction with the Microkontrol via simple Max messages.
Input from all control elements on the keyboard are available, including delta values from the knobs, allowing them to be used as true endless encoders.
