Pitch Bend Range via Script

I'm trying to alter the pitch bend range via a script.

I have a modulation amount slider for the pitch bend range (mod source: "pitch bend", mod destination: "pitch") called "PB_PITCH", but I can't figure out how to refer to this in the "set_engine_par" command.

Usually the name of the modulator itself would be used to specify the mod index, but since the modulation source "pitch bend" is a permanent thing, I can't right click on it and give it a name.

This is as far as I've got:

Code:

set_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_MOD_TARGET_INTENSITY, $sliderBendRange, 0, ...

Thanks for the help!

 

Please read the sticky thread which mentions everything about how to do modulation in KSP.

You can. Any mod destination can be renamed.

 

Had a look at that but still can't seem to figure it out...

I'm sure I'm being very stupid, but where do I rename the pitch mod source?

I get how to rename the target... i.e. the little target strip in the Source section, but not how to rename the actual mod source.

I understand how you'd do it if for example you had an LFO modulator linked to the pitch (since I could rename the LFO)... but just can't figure out how to do it with pitch bend as the source.

Hopefully that makes sense!

Cheers man

 

The target strip IS the mod source. External modulators like MIDI CC, pitch bend, aftertouch, don't have a "source" per se (they're external, not internal like LFO, envelopes, so they don't show in the bottom Modulation section).

 

Got it! Thanks a lot!

 

Good evening !
I am actually constructing a cello instrument in Kontakt and i was wondering how to script the slider for the Pitch range (from 0 to 12 st) so i can modify it in the performance view (the pitch bend applies to all of my 3 groups)
I just began scripting in Kontakt for the record
Many thanks !

 

You should read Mario's sticky thread on modulation, but most of the time this script will work:

Code:

on init
make_perfview
declare %depth[13] := (500000, 719904, 775202, 814980, 845738, 873260, 897935, 917619, 937443, 955086, 970104, 986011, 1000000)
declare ui_knob $Range (0,12,1)
set_knob_unit ($Range, $KNOB_UNIT_ST)
declare $i
make_persistent ($Range)
end on

on ui_control ($Range)
$i := 0
while ($i < $NUM_GROUPS)
set_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_INTMOD_INTENSITY, %depth[$Range],$i,find_mod($i,"PB_PITCH"),-1)
inc($i)
end while
end on

 

Hi Medusa,
Where did you get the numbers for the depth array from?
I tested, they are precise. I am curious how you came up with them. I am trying to figure out how to come up with the numbers to go all the way to 24 semitones up. Evil Dragon says 1130000 is 24 semitones, but how to calculate the ones in the middle, between 12 and 24?

Cheers

I totally didn't know you could go beyond 12 semitones like that, so you'll have to wait for Evil Dragon to chime in with the numbers.
I probably got that 12 step array from him in the first place.

Usually if I want to go beyond 12 I just use two seperate PB assignments and combine them.... but going beyond 1,000,000 is amazing and much cooler.

I wonder how many other Kontakt parameters can go above 1,000,000 ?

 

Filter cutoffs can, for example (except old pre-K5 filters). But I think that's just a visual thing - if you check the filters audibly, they probably aren't going too far out of bounds.

 

Ok, but do you have the numbers for two octaves pitch bend, by semitone? That would be awesome....

That's brilliant Mario, thanks for the link! I had no idea that could be done.

 

Me neither, until I once had one zero too much defined on a slider and crashed Kontakt because it was set to change pitch by 3000 semitones or something

 

May I allow myself to unbury this thread?
Is there a way to do this action with a ui_slider as well? I know sliders can't have 12 steps like a knob can, but a knob can't be customized. Probably it won't work, but just to confirm.

Oh, and by the way – I didn't get what medusa's numbers should achieve (thank you anyway for posting them, they were my first hint!) but if someone would like to have a pitch bend knob that ranges 12 semitones from 0 to 12, here are the values: Evil Dragon's old post

 

Of course you can just replace ui_knob with ui_slider and it will work. You also need to remove/adapt the set_knob_ functions.
