With samplers (or other software instruments) round robin basically means sound variations. Imagine you are picking a guitar! Your single picks will never sound the same since you always pick the strings slightly different. We can simulate that “humanization” by simply randomly varying between a few sound variations which we all have to recorded of course. So each time you hit a key on your keyboard another sound variation is played. Thereby the same variation shall not be played twice one after another.
This table lists all midi note numbers for all octaves from -2 to +8. You may need it for any note commands like changing specific key colors etc. Read more »
Currently there’s no way to monitor real mouse events in Kontakt (only partly since Kontakt 6 like introduced in this Drag & Drop Script).
In general we can only simulate a mouse release event via some workarounds. In this article we will introduce 3 different methods. Read more »
The set_engine_par() command is used to control or set almost any engine parameters like volume, pan, tune, fx, lfo’s, envelopes and more. It is mostly used in combination with the on ui_control callback whenever we use custom knobs or buttons to control Kontakt’s FX, Modulators or any other engine parameter. Read more »
in this tutorial we will work with sublime 3 and macros. A macro works almost like a function. We use them like functions and we can use arguments to pass variables to alter or individualize several parameters inside a macro.
But instead of returning any values or executing any code, a macro is “printing” the whole code from inside it, whenever and wherever it gets called.
So we can use macros like factories to even create other functions, callbacks or any other code fragments. Preferably whenever we have repetitive code patterns so that we don’t have to write them again and again. Read more »
set_skin_offset(). So if we create a wallpaper sprite which is as double as high as our ui_size (in this case 2 x 608px) we can put 2 wallpapers into this one image file like shown on the left. The visible area is only from 0 pixel to 608 pixel.
We can now set a button for example which moves the background skin 608 pixel vertically to put the second wallpaper into the visible area. This short demo video shows how it works:
You get Sublime 3 from https://www.sublimetext.com/3
Note: you can use it without any restrictions but you still need to buy a license. It’s really worth it!
Thx to Nils Liberg and using Sublime is almost essential when it comes to complex scripts since it simplifies things a lot (like structuring our code and saving lots of code-lines). It also helps us to better reveal some errors. Read more »
In this tutorial we will learn how to dynamically change labels and display the knob’s current value for the time the knob gets moved. After releasing the knob the default label shows up again after a certain delay. See video
