Kontakt KSP - Automation in Multiscript possible?

[JayNyqvist]

Hi.

I have a multiscript designed to choose the output of each instrument. Say I have a stack of two intruments. When I press btn1 in the multiscript, the first instrument plays. I press btn2 and only the second instrument plays.

Is it possible to control this behavior from the host's automation? In other words, is it possible to script automation in a multiscript?

Thanks in advance!

Host automation I think not, but don't quote me on that. MIDI automation, you could script.

If you're looking for a way to change playing instrument by keyswitch or CC, here's a solution:

Not possible to do host automation of multiscripts.

Thanks! Digged into that multiscript and it looks quite similar to what I have. What I would like to do is to control that instrument switching from within the host, using the automation lane.

I tried the automation ID code inside the multiscript and it compiles, but it doesn't get carried to Kontakt's host assignment list. Also, Kontakt doesn't allow when I try to assign the parameter by dragging from the list to the button. So, I think it's a no-no...

I'm not so much interested in controlling it with a MIDI controller (keyboard, etc.), but from the host. However, if a multiscript keyswitch or MIDI CC are controllable from the host, that could be an indirect way to solve the problem.

Have a look at Orange Tree Samples Mind Control. You can define conditions in MIDI, such as key switch, velocity, controller amount, for switching instruments. The instruments reside in slots in an Instrument Bank, is the idea. It's not free but it's not expensive.

jancivil, thank you!
