Great video Stephen. I'm a musician, sound designer and Kontakt instrument developer and watching your video's is really refreshing. I think for anyone starting out in Sound Design and wanting to develop their own instruments this is a great course for beginers. There are many youtube videos out there but this series takes you step by step through what you need to do from start to finish. It's clear and precise in its delivery and will definitely get you on your way to producing your own instruments for Kontakt.
Is there a way to script a button to turn on or off the loop? Want my instrument to have the option of finishing out the waveform but be able to turn on a loop with a single click. I know I could script it so that it switches to a different group with the loop on, but I've been hoping to find a simpler solution and haven't found a script solution to do so. Thank you!
You can indeed, there is a command called set_loop_par, which you could use with the parameter $LOOP_PAR_MODE. You could target the specific loop (0-7 because of zero based counting) and turn it off and on with the last parameter. www.native-instruments.com/ni-tech-manuals/ksp-manual/en/zone-commands.html#set_loop_par--
Hey thanks for everything! Do you know if it's possible to assign a release after the loop? I mean if I want to hear the tail of the audio sample after I release the sustain, how do I do that? Thanks again!
Hey, there is indeed (sorry for the delayed response). You can turn a whole group into a "release trigger" group (there is a release trigger button on the group section near the FX and the Tune knob). When RT is enabled, anything in that group will play on release of the keys, so I would put all of your main samples in one group and your release trigger samples in the other group, set the release trigger group to release trigger and then presto! You might also want to put an AHDSR envelope on both groups and use the release setting on the main group and the attack setting on the RT group to balance a bit of a crossfade if necessary too.
@@StephenOConnellCmdShiftNew Thank you so much!!! This is really helpful! I will try to do that! Thanks to your guidance i ve been preparing a nice decent instrument on kontakt. If I ever get to finish it properly will for sure send it to you. Thanks again!
Hey Steve, thanks for the excellent videos. But I thought it was worth mentioning that you can easily copy the loops, starts , and ends, set on a single sample, to all the other samples in a group, and really don't need to do it one sample at a time! It's slightly different in Kontakt 7 but here's a video on how to do this: th-cam.com/video/I0-tQTLzlQM/w-d-xo.html

Hey! Do you know how to do the same in Reaper?
Hey, afraid I don't use Reaper, so I'm a bit out of my depth there.
