Hi David, first of all thank you very much for all these useful videos. I find them very helpful and inspiring. Not sure what happened with your hairstyle in this video but that’s ok- artistic freedom…🤣 My main question: you’re starting one step too late or advanced for me, ie how do you generate all these neat samples that you then just nicely and simply drag and drop into Kontakt? That’s where I’m stuck. Should I record one large session and then chop up? Is there an easier/faster way? I’m using Ableton but I also have a couple of other software samplers. Would it be better to do it in sampler like eg Waves CR8? Thanks again for your help and advice. All the best from Ireland, Jan

Hey great video. I want to sample a little semi modular and make into a library. 2 things I'd like to ask. When i sample it , do i need a fully sustained note or does note length not matter? Also there's no way of knowing which notes coming out without using a tuner plug in, do i have to at least sample a different note from a whole octave?

Hi, I used this video to add knobs to a Kontakt instrument. Thanks for putting this together, it's really informative. It has inspired me to dig a little deeper into scripting. I've recently built a simple instrument with an LFO modulation, and added a knob for controlling the frequency via a modulator. This is fine, except that the knob is not responding to the move_control command, as used for all the other 8 knobs. Can you help? Thanks again for this video.

Never mind I found the answer: by adding this in the on init: set_control_par(get_ui_id($myKnob),$CONTROL_PAR_DEFAULT_VALUE,630000) I also went a little further by adding a reset to default (ctrl and click on knob) by adding set_knob_defval($myKnob,630000) also in the on init This would set the master volume to 0.0 on load and when ctrl clicking on knob :0) this is fun!

Hi David, would you be able to help with how to declare a knob to modulate a Convolution Reverb on the Main Effects part from an NKI instrument? Its on Slot 0, but am not sure how to declare it and what to use to define. Also would be great if could have a button to turn on/off. But at this point would be hopeful if could help with how to do this. I think it has something to do with the following possibly, but am not sure on this. Thanks, JimP on init declare ui_knob $reverbKnob(0,1000000,-1) set_text ($reverbKnob,"Reverb") set_knob_label ($reverbKnob, get_engine_par-disp($ENGINE_PAR_EFFECT_TYPE_IRC,-1,0,-1) make_persistent($reverbKnob) end on {--------} on ui_control ($reverbKnob) set_engine_par ($ENGINE_PAR_EFFECT_TYPE_IRC,$reverbKnob,-1,0,-1) set_knob_label ($reverbKnob, get_engine_par-disp($ENGINE_PAR_EFFECT_TYPE_IRC,-1,0,-1) end on

@EricPeelMusic Жыл бұрын
Funny. The only reason to have this knob would be to allow the customer to avoid the $400-600 it takes to buy this 20 year old piece of software in order to access the cutoff directly from the insert. But in doing so, you must pay Kontakt (several hundred dollars per year, for life), to allow your user to avoid the $400-600 it takes to buy this 20 year old piece of software in order to access the cutoff directly from the insert. Greedy, corrupt fellowman running Native Instruments for sure. By the way, when do think they're going to update their 20 year old interface? So I don't need to be 10 inches away from my 4k monitor and avoid wrecking my eyes after a day's work? And so I don't have to rely on a literal single 4k pixel to make a 5% adjustment to an envelope?
