Kontakt Multi Script for simple keyswitching

[Thomas Mavian]

I beleive this is one of the great uses I have of AI, in my case Googles Gemini.

I recently found an instrument called Wildmother's Dulcimer on Pianobook. A beautiful instrument. Crammed it into my newly created VEPro 8 template and was a bit sad that I needed two tracks in Cubase to get both the Hammered and the Tremolo patch.

Asked Gemini for a simple keyswitch script and after a few trial and errors I now have four.

It loads as a KSP Multi script. All incoming MIDI channels to Kontakt can be used but the instruments need to be setup as recieving from MIDI Channel 1, 2 (and 3 if you want the "x3" version).

From your DAW of choice setup a keyswitch on C-2 with different velocities.

For the "x2" scripts it's simply 0-63 for MIDI channel 1 and 64-127 for MIDI channel 2.

For the "x3" scripts it's 0-42 for MIDI channel 1, 43-85 for MIDI channel 2 and 86-127 is MIDI channel 3.

Both versions have a "Seamless" variant which when a keyswitch comes it doesn't kill the note, it keeps ringing until it is released even if new notes are coming in to the switched instrument.

Works like a charm.
