![]() ![]() Which is a lot like how I do HTML, so that’s fine. But there’s a lot of code involved and it’s easy to mistype, so I *suspect* if I go any further into fancy scripting then I’ll be doing a lot of cut and pasting from other people’s code. So I need to add a controller and modify it with velocity…Īlso Cutoff and Resonance control knobs and a lovely skin that I probs spent a bit too long designing in Canva. I want to add some modulation – like maybe a low pass filter that’s connected to velocity (so a higher key velocity has a brighter sound and vice versa). I’ve tried two versions of faking legato following Dave’s video ‘ Kontakt Tutorial: How to Add Fake Legato to Your Instruments‘ (Dave Hilowitz is now my Kontakt Guru – his videos are so straightforward, efficient and easy to follow but are advanced enough to not be dull for someone who isn’t a complete beginner)(I don’t think his videos would be great for complete beginners). I’ve made the same instrument in Kontakt 5 (I was working in 6, and the 6 version doesn’t work in 5, and since the point of Kontakt libraries is to share them, and not everyone will have the latest version of Kontakt, well, when in Rome etc.) (also it was useful to jog yesterday’s memory and run through the steps again). Plus being able to put a pretty skin design on. But there’s something nice about putting together an instrument that might go off into the world to be used by other composers in new and unexpected compositions. ![]() Other sampler software I already have (such as the excitingly titled ‘Sampler’ in Logic X) may actually be quicker and more streamlined for making and using my own instruments that I’ve no intention of sharing. I’m most interested in learning a thing if there’s an obvious use-case, and Kontakt, I think the most obvious one is for sharing/selling instruments. ![]() I’ve a newfound respect for the effort and art that goes into true legato instruments (and a bit more sympathy for the ones that tried and didn’t quite get it right – I’m looking at you 8Dio). The gold standard, though, would be true legato scripting, but that looks hella difficult and would take FOREVER to do all the recording and editing… and companies like Embertone have done it amazingly well already. Ideally, I’d like to learn how to do keyswitches (to put in some pizzicato and tremolo versions), velocity layer group effects (for portamento at low velocities and more scratchy bow attack at high velocities), crossfading groups using the mod wheel (to vibrato variation)… all that good stuff. ![]()
