1. Bluetooth only works in UWP mode, which may be an issue if you've other MIDI devices that need to run in MME mode. It works fine with a cable in MME mode tho.

2. MIDI Learn for virtual instruments isn't really an option if you're using it as a transport controller using the Mackie protocol (which is what I do). This is true for any control surface in Mackie mode. There are other options for controlling virtual instruments (i.e. by putting it into synth rack mode), and combining it with custom mapping settings in MackieControl.ini. My C4Mapper utility can help here (remember to use only the top 8 rotaries):

 Alternatively, consider getting something like a nanoKONTROL 2 or Akai midimix to run along side it, so you can use the nK Studio for your transport, and the other controller for VSTi's via ACT Learn. If using the nanoKONTROL 2 for ACT, it should be set to just send out CC's (While pressing and holding down the SET MARKER and CYCLE buttons, connect the USB cable from your computer to the nanoKONTROL2 and engage CC mode).

3. You can get both transport control and VST learn if you use ACT, but it's one-way - so the lit buttons on the nanoKONTROL Studio won't light up to reflect the track MSR statuses within CbB. In this case the nanoKONTROL Studio needs to be in Assignable mode (hold down Scene and Cycle buttons, turn the nanoKONTROL Studio on to set it to assignable mode). You can use the Korg editor to assign CC's, the use the NK Studio's Scenes functionality to switch between the CC's used for transport, and the CC's used to control VST's... just make sure the CC's you assign for each scene are different so they don't get mixed up.

4. Finally, if you are using the nanoKONTROL in Mackie mode, make sure you:

- put it into SONAR mode ( turn on the nanoKONTROL Studio while holding down the Scene and Fast Forward buttons )

- use the Korg KONTROL editor software to configure the Scene button as Scrub

- Configure your Mackie Control settings as following:
