Supercharge your Korg nanoKONTROL2.

First and foremost, Korg’s official KONTROL Editor doesn’t even work on modern macOS versions. NanoBridge was born directly out of that frustration: as a Mac user, I found myself completely locked into whatever settings happened to be stuck inside my device, unable to change CC numbers or button modes unless I tracked down an old Windows computer just to flash simple settings.

Beyond compatibility, there is a fundamental difference in philosophy: Korg’s software is a static flashing utility that writes a single layout into the controller's internal memory. Every single tweak requires quitting your work and reflashing the hardware.

NanoBridge works completely differently. It is an active, real-time software bridge that runs natively on modern macOS alongside your DAW. Instead of touching or flashing the controller's internal firmware, it intercepts the raw hardware MIDI in real time, dynamically reshaping CCs, synchronizing LED feedback, and switching between unlimited presets on the fly with zero latency.

NanoBridge transforms the nanoKONTROL2 into an advanced multi-layer controller:

• • Instant Preset Switching: Seamlessly jump between unlimited presets (e.g., Preset A for Orchestral CCs, Preset B for Mixing, Preset C for Synths) with zero interruption.
• • Smart LED Management: Built-in support for internal toggles, DAW-controlled external LEDs, and exclusive Radio Groups (where selecting one button turns off all others, ideal for sample articulation switching).
• • Hands-Free Control: Connect a secondary device (like a USB foot pedal) to trigger preset changes while your hands stay on your keyboard.
• • Fast Batch Mapping: Map entire fader blocks or button rows with sequential CCs, channels, or inverted value curves in a single click.

Yes! With the latest version, NanoBridge features a full Virtual Device on your screen. You can interact with the faders, knobs, and buttons directly using your mouse or trackpad, transmitting the exact same MIDI CCs and commands to your DAW. This makes it easy to keep working on projects while traveling or away from your studio desk without needing the physical controller plugged in.

NanoBridge works with any macOS audio software that supports MIDI, including Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper, Pro Tools, and standalone instrument hosts.

NanoBridge is built exclusively for macOS and requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. It runs natively on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel-based Macs. There are currently no versions available for Windows or iPadOS.

NanoBridge is a one-time purchase with no subscriptions. A single license allows activation on up to 3 machines for your personal use (for instance, your studio desktop, a portable laptop, and a secondary studio setup). If you replace a computer, you can easily deactivate the license in the app settings to free up an activation.

Yes. NanoBridge includes a 14-day free trial with full access to every feature. You can connect your gear, configure your presets, and test how it integrates into your real DAW projects before making a purchase.

If you have a question, run into a technical issue, or want to suggest a feature, you can contact me directly by emailing support@uesound.com. You can also use the “Copy Diagnostic Data” button in the app’s About settings to include your setup details, making troubleshooting quick and easy.

During the early beta phase, NanoBridge was distributed through Patreon. However, several users asked whether they needed to stay subscribed month after month just to receive updates. Having to pay another monthly tier later on just to download an update felt unfair to my supporters.

Graduating to Version 1.0 allowed me to establish a proper one-time license model and a 14-day free trial. Now, you simply buy it once, own it forever, and get seamless built-in updates.

Plus, Version 1.0 comes with crazy new features—most notably the new floating virtual device, meaning you don't even have to carry your physical nanoKONTROL2 with you anymore! You can simply use the on-screen virtual overlay to control your DAW when traveling.

If you already supported me and downloaded the beta on Patreon: You do not need to pay again! Check your Patreon inbox—I have sent a 100% OFF discount code to everyone who supported the beta so you can claim your official lifetime V1.0 license completely free as a thank you for your early backing.

Yes, as an advanced coding assistant. I completely understand the music community's skepticism toward “vibe-coded” apps built by people who have never written a line of code, but that isn't what NanoBridge is.

I’ve been developing my own software, stage soundware, and custom MIDI hardware long before AI was publicly available. The real-time MIDI routing engine, CoreMIDI virtual endpoints, and LED synchronization mechanisms draw directly from years of stage and studio programming experience.

I don't use automated “vibe-coding” apps or generators. I use a disciplined custom workflow where every single line of code goes through me. AI serves as a co-pilot to accelerate development, while I manually design, review, test, and write the critical components myself. This ensures I have total control over the architecture—if a bug occurs, I know exactly where to look to fix it.

Ultimately, AI simply levels the playing field, empowering a solo indie developer to build sleek, robust utilities that used to require a dedicated corporate team. (I also used AI to help create the app icon and website artwork!)
