Cant change notes in Mysteria

Project10

I cant change the pitch of any patch in Mysteria - changing notes on keyboard has no effect. I'm using Kontakt 7 with NI S88 Kontrol keyboard, MBP Sequoia 15. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

I am not sure that you are supposed to use it that way , have you checked the MYSTERIA Walkthrough _ Native Instruments and the Mysteria manual (e.g. then check Clusters page 14 and forward in the manual and page 26 control setup) ?

You can change sound a lot by using the presets :

ABOUT THE LIBRARY (manual page 4)

While MYSTERIA uses vocal sources, it is not strictly a musical instrument but more of a perform-
ance effect engine. Most Snapshots will not even use the note information from your MIDI key-
board; the MIDI is only used to trigger the sound.
The power of MYSTERIA comes from the XY-Pad – with this you can control the tension and dra-
ma of the sound, as well as morph between the two halves of the sound. The concept is that you
hold a sound and then adjust it with the XY-Pad in sync with your project. Because of this, MYSTE-
RIA is a tool well suited to scoring film, television, and video games.
MYSTERIA’s sound engine is based on blending two identical sound generators. These genera-
tors are called Layers and contain a combination of samples and effects.
Most control pages in the instrument are divided into three sections with the XY-Pad in the center,
and the controls for Layer A and Layer B to the left and right of the pad.

6.2. ClusterClusters use tonal content, the pitch of which can be defined by the MIDI note used to trigger thesound. Additional voices can be assigned to the cluster, and their pitches or volumes can be affec-ted by the Y-axis of the XY-Pad to increase the atonality of the sound.Clusters have two control sub-pages, accessed via icons at the bottom of the control area.

Thankyou for your comprehensive reply PoorFellow and the useful links. I get it. I think I was a mislead by the Keyboard lights which, in other plug-ins, usually indicate the extent of the playable notes. However like you say the instrument probably doesn't need to work in that way. Thanks again.
