NI Kontakt Can Do Vector Synthesis

[Etienne1973]

Hi

There are some NI Kontakt instruments which do vector synthesis (e.g. Soniccouture Chris Watson Haunted Spaces).

Let's say I have 4 Samples (sustain looped) I want to blend via vector. How do I do that in NI Kontakt?

1 - Is this possible without script language knowledge?

2 - Anybody out there already done that?

Thanks in advance!

EvilDragon knows.

You theoretically could do this with two MIDI CC modulators modulating group volumes, and then utilizing mod shapers to change the curvature so that groups mix according to equal-power, but it can get fiddly to get it right. Scripting it is easier, once you know the necessary math.

Thanks a lot!

It works exactly the way you described. Curvature was fiddly. But after some trial and error I got a constant equal power signal no matter of the position in the vector field.

I made sure I'm blending 4 sources (groups) with same loudness first.

The magic curve bending is 13,5%.
