Simple rule to affect a keyswitch for staccato in Kontakt 5 default VSL instruments. I confirmed by grace note that the keyswitch works, but the score won't see and obey this file:



<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<rule-set version="1">

** The instrument/plugin ID is correct - verified by Brian at Notion Support.

Ideas?

Thanks.

<if articulation = "staccato"/>
<key-switch type="note-on-prefix" midi-pitch="15" velocity="1" />

Verify Midi pitch: it is not consistent between devices, sometimes the count starts one octave upper, sometimes one octave lower...
Try a higher extreme velocity. Since it is only a switch lets hit the key harder!

Got it working -- thanks@! It was an octave off (15 was really 27)

However, my note-off is not working. It stays stuck on the previous articulation.

Do I need to create a default catch-all rule? Neither normale or arco (strings) seems to reset articulation/technique.

Also - is it note-on-prefix or note-off-suffix I use to set back to "12" (i.e. 0)?

<rule name="default">
<key-switch type="note-on-prefix" midi-pitch="12" velocity="127" />
<key-switch type="note-off-suffix" midi-pitch="12" velocity="127" />
</rule>

Thanks.
