Release Trigger + Hammer On Issue

MTC84

Hi,

I am having trouble figuring out how to script the On Release block for a Bass Guitar instrument...

I want the following behaviour from 4 groups - Pluck, Hammer On, Pluck Release, Hammer On Release.

• If the hammer on code is active, the release trigger used for basic pluck notes should mute/not play when the note is release
• The Hammer On release trigger group should only play on release of the hammer on note.

Coding for the hammer on's (group selects) is all working as it should.

When I copy the code from the On Note block to use it inside of the On Release block it results in no release triggers playing at all. Am I missing something?

Can anyone help me figure this out please? I've spent way too long trying and failing with this battle!

Many thanks in advance.

I think what I need to do is have a code block to tell Kontakt to "ignore previous release trigger message (release trigger of the pluck group), If the next note message is a hammer on note."

Is that even possible? I am starting to think it isn't as I'd need a time machine to go backwards in the script in real time?

Thanks for any info.
