Even better :-)

Bump for a classic script :-)

It would so cool if was possible to store rounds and type and trigger via different midi notes ;-)

You mean store different configs to keyswitches?

Would be cool, I’m using 16 of these inside kontakt just passing midi ;-)

Using a key switch multi script to switch midi channels.

OK, try this one:
www.fairlyconfusing.net/docs/key_shuffler_c.rar

I re-worked the UI a bit.
- There's no "shuffle" button, shuffle is being applied on the fly as you manipulate the controllers, there's some CPU spike, but it's nothing for modern processor.
- When rounds is set to zero, the keys are not shuffled - turn it down to disable the effect.
- There are 16 preset slots, each holds rounds, seed, range and polarity. Can be automated with CC or you can define keyswitches via dropdown menu.
- Only saved preset slots are used for keyswitches, if preset is not saved it does not use up the key.
- Random button fills all slots with random presets.
- When preset is selected and you change shuffle parameters, the preset is updated.
- Turn the 'color keyboard' switch to display keyswitches on virtual keyboard, or leave it alone to preserve instrument key coloring.
- There's a background box, so the script can be used in performance view over instrument background. Turn it on/off in 'background' dropdown. Color can be tweaked freely.
- Use the small button near RGB controllers to lock the color, now you can turn the controllers up/down to make it brighter/darker.
- Kontakt 5.7 is required to run this (could be K4 if the background box was removed).

See if you find any bugs or have a suggestion - post here. Let's call it beta for now.

That’s super cool :-) will try asap

Thank you.

Wonderful, works perfect.

This is a great device for adding subtle or not so subtle :-) changes to loops etc.

I guess a random (preset) would be cool but not essential, this is already above and beyond.

Thanks again :-)

Is there any way to load a MIDI file inside of this I have a slice a view script
After this that has a midi drag button it would be great to be able to drag that MIDI file into scrambler and trigger it from a note ?

I did try making a MIDI file load script but it’s very complicated .-(

Post

You cannot drag midi into Kontakt, it's export only function. Supposedly you map slices to keys and then you can export midi file to your daw so you can see which slice is mapped to which key - I never messed with this.
You can load midi by file load function or file selector (browser). Programing midi player is fairly confusing, as everything in Kontakt. I'll see if I have a functional player that can be cut of to serve as an example, but that's a matter for a separate script.

Post

Sure, I thought so. looks very tricky :-(

Cheers again

Look at the other thread, is that what you had in mind?

That is cool, but personally I like the full control in key shuffler and the fact i can feed the exported midi file from a sliced loop into it. ;-)
