Is it possible to "cutt off" the sound completely when releasing my finger from the key ?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello,

Context, I have a cymbal master patch, I want to quickly preview say 60 cymbal sounds. I quickly press the different notes on my keyboard, is it possible to force kontakt to "cut" the sound as soon as the "note off" midi message is received ?

Otherwise I'll get a huge build up of sound of the tails of the different cymbals sound

Thanks

This will send All Sounds Off (cc#120) on key release

on midi_in
 if ($MIDI_COMMAND = $MIDI_COMMAND_NOTE_OFF or ($MIDI_COMMAND = $MIDI_COMMAND_NOTE_ON and $MIDI_BYTE_2 <3))
  set_midi ($MIDI_CHANNEL,$MIDI_COMMAND_CC,120,0)
 end if
end on

Paste into multiscript slot (close instrument for editing, click KSP at top of Kontakt window) and click Apply. Bypass when not in use. Ensure your instrument(s) accept All Sounds Off (Instrument Options>Controller).

Alternatively, click on ! at the top of the Kontakt window, or set max voices in the instrument header to 1.

You can absolutely do that in KSP - but if it's just samples, or a 3rd party instrument, it'll be long-winded to do.

If it's your instrument, you can mute volume on key release.

Could you map the cutoff to release velocity?
