Play Series Instruments

Franki88

Is there a way to load a play series instrument preset into an instrument bank? I want to use it live.

Unfortunately Kontakt or Kontakt libraries don't respond to MIDI Program Changes.

Thank you!

Just to help me understand your question better, which play instrument? Thanks!

Ignition Keys. I am using Kontakt with a guitar synth pickup and I am trying to switch presets with a midi foot controller. Using Instrument banks seems to be an easy way to do it but they play series instruments say they are locked and can not be edited when you add them to the bank.

Maybe you mean something peculiar, because Kontakt does respond to Program Change. You even accepted one of my answers some days ago, explaining exactly how to switch instruments into instrument bank with PC.

The problem here is with Play Series instruments, since once loaded in instrument bank they doesn’t allow to select a preset (as OP says Kontakt say they are locked and can’t be edited).

Other NI libraries (like Alicia’s Keys, Pharlight,…) can be double clicked in instrument bank and that allows to select one of their presets

@Jeremy_NI I am similarly trying to use the Instrument Bank. Example, I want to Load "Ignition Keys (Celestial Score preset)" into slot 001 of an instrument Bank, Lo-Fi Glow (Bad Doorbell preset) into slot 002, etc...

Is This something was doable in Kontakt 7?

As far as I can tell the Play series instruments are locked and cant be used that way
