Sound Design Tutorial: Create Custom Scripts in Native Instruments' Kontakt

[@sommersound]

The element of humor really adds to the enjoyment and memorability of these tutorials!

[@Morenob1]

After so many tears and stress I found the portamento mode thanks man can't do more than like this vid!

[@rickrastardly]

Good work. All presenters at DubSpot is excellent.

[@MarcoZarco]

Who else is listening to "... having some year!" in 2020!

[@kurtotto1994]

I didn't catch your name but thanks for the cool Kontakt lesson. I'll be back. its such a pleasure to absorb a teacher's data when they actually know what they're talking about ;)

[@alitajvidi5610]

Very helpful, thank you

[@Muzikmanflames]

Man......That's all I can say. You Really opened Kontakt up for me.

[@AnthonyVolpe]

I had no idea Kontakt was capable of all this. This tutorial was fantastic. Hell, this entire channel is fantastic.

[@gafproductions]

Great tutorial

[@mikegonsolin1]

Hooked On Phonics did not work for whoever choose the subtitles on this vid

[@ThomasBorghus]

And nice tutorial from there on. Thanks.

[@Mtaalas]

I thought you'd talk about scripting... not using script presets... :(

[@mdaddy006]

Thanks for the video bro... I have so many ideas that I want to try with this.

[@scoobysathpathy826]

Really Cool

[@PlugInGuruVideo]

He easily could have used Razor which has killer vocoding abilities. Well done video, Evan.

[@joeyxl3456]

thats amazing

[@crsmarker]

"Your folks" Dylan joke reference is a good one.

[@pinkponyofprey1965]

Tell us about Dylan, great grand pa ...

[@XanderGallois]

Nice tutorial. Was searching for Portamento for serveral days

[@timkimbrough]

Wow thank you for the tutorial. Never knew you could do so much with Kontakt 5. Really easy to follow tutorial.You Rock!!!!

[@MrBoogieDavis]

British soap Opera's , love it.

[@quaroismynamehere]

Great tutorial, straight to the point and full detailed. :) I have a problem though, I was wondering if someone could help me out: when I apply the "unisono-portamento" script to the cello solo instrument, it doesn't work at all, it changes the pitch of the first note, and doesn't glide, nor kill the first note (of course both mono and portamento mode are on)...is it a problem with my DAW or am I missing something?

[@shadowgauge5852]

It's the Legato control, you have to go into the actual LUA script to fix it, which does require scripting knowledge that you won't learn on KZbin, granted you will find a bunch of click bait BS like this.

[@Gardener7]

@@shadowgauge5852 I'm at this point now. Wanting to make my own script, but finding little/no information how to do it. Did you find any good resources anywhere?

[@shadowgauge5852]

@@Gardener7 I have figured it out... well enough anyway... And no, not really. Basically its LUA script, which I was able to find basics on pretty easily, the rest I got out of the Kontakt scripting API.... Long story short, your making a text file in a specific directory, or .nkp file I think, it has been a minute. I basically cut and pasted a script together that turned midi files into arpeggiators, it wasn't that difficult, but by no means did I come close to streamlining the process, but keywords "Lua scripting" and "Kontakt Scripting API" should direct to some intermediate level resources. Also, not sure how far into your "studies" you are, but the 'DAFX' Dsp book for MatLAB (500 level audio engineering mind you) has a lot of the necessary formulas for doing the intricate shiz, but that's still above my pay grade... rite now neway. Anyway, I hope that helps, and I am sorry people are dicks.. :D

[@xD3MONxIxSOULx]

Good tutorial. Do you know if it's possible to modulate or map key switch the factory presets, like Harmonize - Chord - Tonal etc. Thanks!

[@granthoover9045]

Hey, did you ever figure this out? I would LOVE to know how to if its possible.

[@felipevareschi7773]

eipic tutorial very helpfull

[@royanderson2745]

Wondering if you could do, or have done a video on: taking an acoustic sound, brass, wind, string and adding resonant filter that can be controlled via CC. Like the Resonant filter in Logic's EXS, or Sample modaling's Expression parameter. I've tried, and it seems like such a simple thing that should be so simple, but, alas, I've been unable to figure it out.....

[@rowanholliday8189]

Is it possible to add custom scales to the scale options? Also if you can do that, is it possible to set a script to play pure intervals like a 1-3-5 routing from each note of your custom scale?

[@olymoon2008]

Very interesting tutorial. Only one question : Once you have find a good script and used learn midi CC automation , how do you reproduce the same on another instruments, nki. The script is easy to copy, but the learned automation ??

[@HTMHicks]

Evan sutton is the only dubspot instructor who is actually funny and he seems to make the least effort.

[@hazybrain7]

Wicked tutorial man... Thank you

[@mithramusic5909]

I have to agree with Danny P, I was hoping for custom scripting...considering the title of the video...pretty misleading IMO.

[@neonblack211]

Your good friend Chris Pettii is fucking brilliant!

[@joergwill]

There's nothing about scripting in Kontakt.

[@thekeysman6760]

+Jörg Will @ 5:33 You're welcome to go into the source code and change it via a text editor. But Script Editor in Kontakt is doing that for you.

[@shadowgauge5852]

@@thekeysman6760 No, it's really not. You can add vector information to pre-existing scripts, but this tutorial doesn't even show you how to do that, it doesn't even mention that Kontakt uses LUA, nor does he even load a custom script, he loads a fricken preset FFS, I am surprised anyone that would find this useful even knows how to turn on a computer. If this tutorial was useful, you should just stick to Fruity Loops.

[@shadowgauge5852]

IKR, WTF... Seriously

[@dopenerd5070]

dope!

[@Haelu786]

Is there a way to get the scripting knobs to appear on the instrument like the nice factory ones? as opposed to having to open it up to play with it

[@Wasaia]

I don't see any scripting going on in this video...?

[@K3KCT]

+Giorgo De Groof Agree. Guy sounds like he loves the sound of his own voice, like he would even go so far as to sample it and.. Oh-wait..

[@thekeysman6760]

+bizbazboz @ 5:33 You're welcome to go into the source code and change it via a text editor. But Script Editor in Kontakt is doing that for you.

[@miguel33011]

Nither do I

[@mrevansutton]

the vocoder sound is made using the Tone Machine in Kontakt. Maybe I should do a tutorial on this next?

[@illreel5169]

you should share your scripts by making them downloadable...

[@danielmanahan692]

I want a script that mixes too samples based on velocity such that sample A gets 100 percent sample B gets zero percent when velocity is at maximum, and when at minimum, the opposite, A gets 0 percent and B gets 100 percent, and mixed percentages when velocity is in the middle accordingly I want another script that does exactly the same thing with mod wheel.

[@NeonMansionOfficial]

This video is amazing. My friend Josh Bess also works with Dubspot doing some really cool things. I hope to visit dubspot in person one day!

[@shadowgauge5852]

FAKE NEWS!!!

[@hb-architecture]

So thats how Deorro made "Hype"....

[@Ddeessoolloozz]

That same chord that I keep playing reminds me gympedie no 1

[@drumfb88]

went with the abridged intro on this one, isee :P

[@ThomasBorghus]

Good advice - skip to 1:13

[@jordanlaw7960]

hey ***** what were the chords you played with the cello?

[@Audiojunkk]

+Jordan Law look up erik satie Gymnopedie No 1 its the two chords from the intro

[@dodraugen]

At 05:15 when he first plays the sample, do anyone know how he got the vocoder effect?

[@goalieboy1000]

Do some more fruity loops tutorials

[@shadowgauge5852]

*rofl* He definitely need to stop trying to do scripting tutorials for Kontakt, since I don't think he understands what a custom script is.

[@TheBoundlessJourney]

Can anyone help me. I want to create an instrument on Kontakt made from sounds of other Kontakt instruments (not samples). If someone could tell me how to do this I would be most appreciative. Feel free to private message me. Thanks.

[@neonblack211]

Uhhhhh, im not expert.... what about... SAMPLING THE KOTANK INSTRUMENTs?

[@ThomasBorghus]

Sorry - I meant 4:49

[@watchtower23]

ummm, TITLE: Create custom scripts in kontact, ME: Ok, I was looking for this, DUBSPOT GUY: We could go in & program or make custom scripts, But were not gonna be doing that, Lets just use factory ones. ME: FUUUUUUUU! DISLIKE!

D'oh, grammer!

When he starts playing you can hear that he has no musical talent at all.Typical for todays "musicians".
