This is to select which notes along a guitar fretboard are to be played according to fret positions 0 through 17 assigned by mod wheel. One monophonic…

Kontakt Script to play_note() with keyswitch
I need a script to retrigger a held note when a keyswitch is depressed to change the group. I'm surprised this isn't a standard function to allow changing articulations with sustained notes, unless it's been added since Kontakt 5. The application is for guitar glissandos along a single string. The glissando samples are in…

The Kontakt 7's library browser is GREAT but utterly unusable due to this one simple flaw
I'm really hoping this is a user error because I find it hard to believe the UX designers missed this one. There's no way to see the full patch names in the search results. Even the detailed view does not show the full name. It shows everything BUT the actual name of the file. There's no tool tip for the search results…

So think like I have an instrument with chopped vocals, mostly adlibs, but duplicated zones are routed to different busses and outputs. It's just that the…

Updates have become an absolute mess...
I work on Mac M1 with Sequoia and I use Ableton and work with Komplete 10 still.

How do I get my "free" plug-ins
