How to change attack on Cremona Quartet Ensemble?
I just go the Cremona solo instruments (Violins, Viola and Cello) and something is puzzling me, namely the attack.

The velocity seems to change how "hard" the notes are…

Any way of trialling Kontakt 8 to check compatibility?
So I have Kontakt 6, Kontakt Player 7 and Kontakt Player 8. A free instrument I want to try out says it requires 'Kontakt Player 7' but after spending some time trying to get it to load, I suspect it actually requires Kontakt 7 (not just the free player).

Noire Piano Pedal Resonance
This is just a PSA for the Noire Piano VST - I've been dealing with a high pitched ringing on many factory settings…its the Pedal Resonance. Even when no keys are played, just depressing the sustain pedal creates it. Turning the pedal resonance all the way down has eliminated the ringing. I can't imagine how many people I…
