I still cannot resolve that the keyswitch functionality not working in Session Horns Pro. I use Logic Pro and a M-Audio Keystation 61 controller so I am curious does anyone with the same controller and DAW have a solution? Thank you.

    Are you sure you opened the keyswitch.nki version and not the performance.nki?

    And if you opened the correct one, that you are playing on the right octave? Keyswitches should be mapped from C -1

    I am using a Windows 11 Pro Build 22H2 laptop. When I try to use the Tenor Sax Solo Instrument from Session Horns Pro with Kontakt 6.8.0, I am unable to use the keyswitches for any of the articulations. Why? I am using an M-Audio Keystation 88 controller.

    I'm using the Mac version on an M2 Ultra and have the same problem: the solo instruments don't show up in the keyswitch.nki version and in the solo versions there's no key switch version even though all the key switches are shown in Kontakt window and they work if you select them there - but not if you look at the S88 keyboard, where they aren't shown and don't work if you play them. This is really irritating in such an expensive instrument, and the documentation is woeful.

    From the manual: “The SESSION HORNS PRO – Solo.nki files offer similar functionality as the Key Switch.nki, but for one single brass instrument only—ideal for production and sequencing work.”

    Keyswitching should certainly work in the Solo instrument - and indeed all the key switch commands are available and assignable in the Main tab of that instrument. But they don’t appear as colour coded keys on the S88 keyboard and they aren;t triggered by entering them manually in Logic’s step editor so… looks like there’s an error - and a long-standing one at that since when you google it, people have been complaining about if for eight years. I will raise a support ticket and report back if I ever get an answer.

    How do you go about opening the keyswitch.nki version?

    edit: ok nvm, found it for session horns. but i'm having the same issue with scarbee rickenbacker bass. the keyswitches don't work there & i'm unable to find a keyswitch.nki for that library.
