Hi everyone,
i am trying to put together some rules for kontakt 5 and i am getting along in general, but i have a question now:
the rules file is put together for the kontakt instrument in general, not the different instances i put on the score, right?
so, if, for some reason, the articulation "tremolo" triggers, say, E0 and in another instrument in kontakt "tremolo" is triggered by F#1, do i have to define two different rules in the same file, one for E0 and one for F#1?
also, if in an instrument "tremolo" is triggered by E0, but in another instrument E0 triggers "staccato", how can i tell Notion to use the first rule for instrument A but the second rule for instrument B (all in Kontakt)?
These are just examples, but i hope you can understand, what i mean.
Thanks
P.S. another thing: i tried to look it up, but i could not get a straight answer:
is there a test for noteheads in the rules?

Different Articulations for Kontakt

Re: Different Articulations for Kontakt
I'm trying the same thing with Kirk Hunter's Pop Rock Strings. I've gotten the best results by setting up a single Kontakt instance with the instruments I'm going to use (a string ensemble in my case) and save it as a multi. Each instrument is in it's own midi channel and I use that info to pass the correct keyswitch for the instrument. Here's an example:
- Code: Select all
<!-- set violin flag: violins will be in midi channels 1&2 / viola in 3, cello in 4 and bass in 5-->
<rule>
<if midi-channel = "1"/>
<set-flag name = "vln" />
</rule>
<rule>
<if midi-channel = "2"/>
<set-flag name = "vln" />
</rule>
<!-- choose articulation -->
<!-- if flag=vln then use violin keyswitches, if not then use viola,cello&bass keyswitches -->
<rule name="pizzicato">
<!-- Tests -->
<if technique = "pizz" />
<if flag="vln"/>
<!-- Instructions -->
<key-switch type="note-on-prefix" midi-pitch="34" velocity="1" />
</rule>
<rule name="pizzicatoOthers">
<!-- Tests -->
<if technique = "pizz" />
<if not-flag="vln"/>
<!-- Instructions -->
<key-switch type="note-on-prefix" midi-pitch="94" velocity="1" />
</rule>
