Is it possible to make use of the program lists inside KK?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

inb4 "just use the browser?" so I like to use program lists on Massive/FM8/Absynth because what I do in my DAW is have two sends to the VST, one which plays notes and the other which converts notes to PC. So each note has it's own preset, and it sounds cool when the presets change and the sound warps to get from one to another.

Meanwhile in KK, if you assign MIDI to the preset change arrows, whatever note is going into the plugin is cancelled out during a preset change, so I'm not able to pull off this trick there. I can load, for example, Massive into KK with the program list contained within, but program changes sent from the DAW don't reach the VST inside KK? Is there a setting I need to change or does the plugin just not allow PC messages in?

Hello,

kk is not made for that use, it needs time to load the instrument and then the preset in that instrument. You could try to send preset change before the note but then of course you also need time between the notes. In massive, or other synths supporting PC messages, they are made for changing presets immediately and, like i said, kk is not.

I see that KK is not made for that, that makes sense to me. But why can I not use the program list feature of an instance of Massive inside KK. Does that make sense? I'm not changing a KK preset, but a preset of the Massive instance.

I will check that with the PC messages being filtered out, if you mean that

Yes, I'm not sure I understand what you mean but my issue is program changes not making it into the VST loaded inside KK. PCs can still be sent into VSTs inside Maschine so I wondered why not KK as well.

I also can't get it to work, as you said PC messages don't come through komplete kontrol, will investigate a bit further.
