Oh - that ain't the problem. I was talking about the keyswitch mapping of the tvec script.Breeze wrote:Thanks for sharing your work! It might be possible to use a second midi keyboard, merge it with your main, and transpose it so you can access the lower range of 0-128 which isn't usually assigned to anything. Something small like the Korg Nanokey or the AKAI LPK25 might do the trick, and sit conveniently on a desk. How many octaves do you need?anterroir wrote:But before starting a take on violas/cellos and basses I'm thinking of changing the keyswitches in the Kontakt file to keys that aren't used by any of the stringed instruments so they are consistent and you would only need one keyswitch preset for all.
At the moment violins, violas, cellos and basses have different notes applied for keyswitches because the natural note playing range of the instruments conflicts with a usable standart mapping for all of them. The keyswitch for smooth is c#1/25 for violins and c#6/85 for violas. The idea is now to look for note ranges where there aren't any samples triggered and place the 21 articulation/divisi keyswitches on those keys in the kontakt patch - no problem if they are scattered, some starting midi note 0 up some from 100 - so in the end every instrument has the same keyswitches and then you only have to do one expression map that fits for all (and in that map you can assign cubase interna keys for triggering that are ordered - if you need it, I don't - as I trigger inside the key editor - thats what the map building is for)
When you do it this way you don't need to make 4 expression maps with 128 articulations entries each - which would save you big pile of works and food for an accountant monkey -> but people have to adjust their keyswitches in at least 6 of their Kontakt patches.
. It's just that the duplets and triplets aren't in there. Oh well, almost everything is!.
