Divisi in Kontakt?

Hello,

A quick question regarding setting up divisi in Kontakt for multi instruments that would work similarly to Divisimate Micro. Can this be achieved somehow?

    Hello,

    you click on the gears (top left of the instrument) and set there the key range you want that instrument react to. You can also transpose the instrument.

    Some instruments (e.g. Spitfire's) do allow polyphonic legato (I believe separated by using different velocities).

    Otherwise you could load a few instances of an instrument into Kontakt on separate channels, then use a simple multiscript to monitor activity in each channel, and direct each incoming note to one which is currently inactive. I'm sure somebody could do this for you if necessary.

    I don't think that is what I asked about.

    Setting the key range won't split the chord voice (i.e. 7th chord) into corresponding 4 instruments (i.e. violin, cello, bass, viola) in a divisi way.

    "direct each incoming note to one which is currently inactive" - how is this supposed to help with divisi? I know I can trigger a certain note by changing its target in the Kontakt script, but it's not divisi.

    For reference: divisimate splits up the notes you play into individual musical voices. Each voice can then be processed, manipulated and routed to different virtual instruments.

    I was wondering if there's a working script that acts like a divisi for multiple instruments in Kontakt.

    Sorry, I assumed some understanding of how Kontakt works.

    Read my second paragraph again, carefully - it explains how such a script would work. I doubt if one exists yet, but I'm sure someone could write it for you if you feed them chocolate. (Inactive channel means no notes currently playing on it).

    As @stephan24 wrote you need a script, or your DAW supports it, cubase pro has a divisi function for example. My method would also work but you would have to split the chord yourself, a bit tedious of course.

    P.S. found this one but did not try it myself so far:

    Multi Divisi Script v25.3 | VI-CONTROL
