Editing midi note velocity in Kontakt 4

10 Replies, 10422 Views

Hi all !

just having a bit of a problem with Kontakt 4 here that I've spent a few hours trying to fix already and I figured someone here might know straight away and save me wasting a few more hours !

This should be simple - I'm just trying to change the velocities of midi notes which are linked to drum samples in Kontakt 4.
I tried the obvious and adjusted velocities in the Hyper editor within Logic but there was no change in the velocities.

The velocity range in Kontakt is 0 - 127 by the way Wink

I saw this tutorial and tried adding a modulator as suggested in step 8 in this tutorial :

that didn't work either.

I know this should be relatively easy to do, and it's annoying that my life is such a failure Hahaha


any help would be appreciated !

chairs.
dont slap me, but, did you try a restart? Smile
what kind of drum instrument is it? i mean.. is it a commercial drumset or your samples?
Do you need to set up a connection between velocity and sample playback volume? I don't use kontakt, but it would make sense that it has one setting to respond to a velocity range (0-127 in this case), but that it still needs to be told 'velocity->sample playback volume'... somewhere.

But I'm just guessing here...

cheers for the mixes!
Found this http://www.ageofaudio.com/pdfs/Kontakt%2...nglish.pdf

Search for keyboard velocity and you get your answer, or at least somewhere close to it. It's essentially a modulation routing, like Sackley says, a lot of samplers are similar.

Hope that helps.

Yeah, you to add it as a modulator below the main instrument window at the top, you should see a fader with ADSR on it, click on the tab and add from there, your velocity sensitivity will adjust with the fader. Good luck with it mate, keep us posted on your tunes - looking forward to hearing some stuff Wave

Ps don't forget the scripts page, lots of creative stuff in there to get ideas running etc
Tried this again tonight - didn't really do anything different to before as far as I can see, but either way it works now !!

that is why i was asking if you did a restart.. midi can be voodoo if you run it through usb and have several usb devices..

I'm pretty sure I tried a restart before posting here - not 100% though.

Wasn't using any usb for this either, but yeah, restart is still the way to go most of the time with any problem Smile
