Hi there!
I am trying to write a legato script in Kontakt 5 script processor. It has some functionalities like:
- if there is a note overlap, naturally a legato sample is played back.
-1 seconds after a legato transition, if the note is held, the legato sample blends into a "start" sample, in case legato samples are not long enough
-if there is a small gap (200ms by default, adjustable) between a note release and another note on signal:
1) if the notes are different, a legato sample is played back.
2) if the notes are the same, a repetition sample is played back.
The Problem is:
if the gap is too small (to be specific, smaller than 12ms that a found by experimenting with adjusting midi data on a DAW); "on note" callback is not executed at all.
I mean, it really is not executed at all, not just due to some boolean condition within the callback. I am sure of that because i've checked by printing a message just after "on note" line, which is not displayed of the gap is <12ms
What might be the reason for this and how to solve it?
the code (only the note on/off callbacks):
on note
$last_id := $EVENT_ID
ignore_event($ALL_EVENTS)
inc($note_counter)
$last_time_note := $ENGINE_UPTIME
$counter := num_elements(%downkeys)-1
while ($counter > 0)
%downkeys[$counter] := %downkeys[$counter-1]
dec($counter)
end while
$before_rep := 0
%downkeys[0] := $EVENT_NOTE
if ($note_counter = 1)
fade_out($ALL_EVENTS,$fade_time_release,1)
disallow_group($ALL_GROUPS)
if ($ENGINE_UPTIME < $last_time_release + $gap_time)
message("WHY?")
$before_rep := 1
stop_wait($release_id,1)
