Topic: Korg NanoKEY2 Help

I am attempting to write a show where the tenor section starts off using dread locks, then switching to sticks.

I'm using a Korg nanoKEY2 with Finale 2014.5.  I'm certain that the problem does not exist with Finale or VDL but with the nanokey2 settings or how I'm attempting to use it. 

I'm in the correct zone of the keyboard where I hear rimshots, then I press and hold the MOD key and I hear rim clicks.  This tells me that the MOD settings are 0-31 for the rimshots (default) and when the MOD button is pressed and held down the MOD setting goes to 96-127 for rim clicks.

How do I set it for dreadlocks which are 32-63?

I just downloaded the Korg Kontrol Editor and I feel like I'm half way there but I don't know how to use it or how to save the settings or how to make them apply to the nanoKey2 while I'm using it in finale.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
