How to Script KEY SWITCHES for Your Kontakt Instrument!

[@AlanRigdon]

Please keep making Kontakt scripting videos. You’re like the only KZbinr that goes into detail. Also, would love more keyswitching videos. This method didn't work for my application because I have another script for round robins running making sure one group doesn't activate twice in a row. Also having trouble scripting multiple groups to play during a keyswitch.

Ah yes, the old round robin hiccup that can happen. I often use the cycle round robin to make it a bit more predictable and then you can code the keyswitches more successfully. I'll add it to my list of videos to do! Thanks and I'm glad you are enjoying my videos!

✨Thank you, Sir, 🙏✨

many thanks for this video. I was not aware it was possiblle to program kontakt. Seems not that complex, just programing. please add more video like this. Thanks again

Hello Stephen, thank you for your video. I would like to know how to create a library for mainstage 3? I have new virtual musical instruments and would like to add them to mainstage. They were in zip format and I unpacked them. Thank you very much. Kind regards, Masood

Can you do a video on using spitfire libraries, how you do multiple articulations, and what it looks like inside your session.😊

[@StephenOConnellCmdShiftNew]

Great idea, I'll add that to my list!

I wonder what would be a script for a hot key. In Chris Hein horns you can have a legato by default and then when you press a note down it will activate growls but when the key is not pressed it goes back to legato. I'd like to learn that script.

I have a script someone gave me.. where is my user preset folder on my computer? can't find it. where do i copy their file to on my pc?

[@StephenOConnellCmdShiftNew]

Hey, I'm not too sure what you mean, if you have been given a script file (a .txt or .ksp) then you would need to copy the text into the script editor of the instrument in Kontakt. Otherwise, if you have been given a .nki file, you can store that anywhere on your computer, but to load it you can just drag it into an empty Kontakt window and it should load the instrument (provided you have all the other files like the samples folder).

Video molto utile grazie, vorrei capire come faccio attivare con tasto (28) E0 tutti gruppi?

[@StephenOConnellCmdShiftNew]

Hey, great question. You should be able to follow the same principles and use the allow_group($ALL_GROUPS) when you use that key.

I use Kontakt 5

[@StephenOConnellCmdShiftNew]

Hey, from memory, I do think you can still use the same code to run this in Kontakt 5. Kontakt 5 just has different background settings and different effects, but otherwise most of the code is translatable.
