Dear Anyone.
I've got a legit Kontakt 6 (though it's been JBRIDGED for my antique 32-bit DAW, it was bought legit. though!) and downloaded the legit. free Project Pegasus pads/instruments collection and I'm still trying to learn about Kontakt so I HOPE this is obvious to you guys....
Kept getting weird buildups of sound in my pieces using Pegasus. Analysed it and discovered they were happening - I use notation software - when I was using staccato and shorter notes (like 8ths or anything below that, 16ths for example.) Spent a painstaking few hours analyzing why - and discovered Kontakt don't seem able to play PART of a sample. If you're using a note length that's shorter than the instrument's sample length, it'll still play the whole sample length. Which means, for instance, you can't use an arpeggiator plug-in with Kontakt sounds because you immediately get mega-buildup!
Have I just struck unlucky with Project Pegasus or is this a Kontakt bug? If there's a setting to make Kontakt able to play short notes, could someone please tell me what it is (including what menus to find the instructions in, please, am still very much a learner!)
Yours hopefully
Chris, who's got 2 more dumbass questions but would love to get this one answered first!
