JABB Performance Patches

For all Full Kontack 2.21 and Garritan Jazz & Big Band Users new Performance Patches for a number of the JABB instruments are available at

Mike's K2 Scripts

The goal of the patches is to provide a virtual live musician playing the JABB samples. The provided controls are the mechanism for instructing this virtual musician how a phrase or passage should be interpreted.

To this end the patches dynamically generate all midi continuous controller values the instrument responds to based on user-defined settings. The scripts enable definable parameter driven legato and slur articulations with portamento, volume, intonation and timbre variations, natural sounding vibrato and various effects including breath and string noise and various pitch bend effects. The Patches also provide easy access to the sound shaping parameters of the JABB instruments adding Convolution Reverb and Stereo modeling to the instruments.

Demos of the Performance Patches are available here

Comments, criticism, suggestions and general feedback are always welcome

 

Hi mmosc,
Although I don't own JABB I decided to check out your script. It seems to be very extensive. You must have put a lot of work into it - there are many thousands of lines of code and nice documentation too. I also noticed that you have used of my script editor when writing it. Cool. I hope that many of those who find your script useful will support it with a paypal donation.

Regards,
Nils

 

Nils,

Thanks for your kind words. If you're ever in need of Saxaphones or Brass You can't go wrong with Garritan's JABB Library, The Acoustic Bass & Drums are also the best I've used.
I don't think I would have had the patience to write these scripts without your editor. It's an essential tool for all but trivial script authoring
