Hi!
10 years ago I had a great discussion on the old version of this forum. I wanted to continue the thread, but unfortunately it is dead... so I am starting a new one :)
What I needed back then was to be able to turn the instruments in Kontakt on and off by sending a midi message from my controller. Turned out it is not possible but it is possible to mute specific instruments and I got this great, little script:
on note
if (%CC[100] > 63)
ignore_event($EVENT_ID)
end if
end on
Although it works great it has some flaws. First of all - because all of my Kontakt instruments need to be on the same midi channel (I play them using a midi guitar controller and it has to be set on to specific midi channel) it uses a lot of CPU. It is because the instruments are all played at the same time, even when they are muted (they should be turned off not to use the CPU). What is more, the script sometimes fail to work and instruments stops receiving midi messages. No idea why.
For 10 years there has been numerous new versions of Kontakt, so maybe there is some new way to actually turn the instruments off my sending a midi message? That would solve my problems :) Thanks!
