    hi!
    i'm quite new to kontakt script. i did some very basic script at the very beginning of KSP existence then nothing...
    now i would like to do a vey simple script to do the following:

    suppose i have several loops, 4 bars, all in sync, that i can trigger via keyswitches.
    i want to change between the loops but without retriggering them, so that i can play the first 2 bar of a loops and the last 2 of another loop.
    more or less what happen in NI action strings, action strikes, etc.

    is there a simple way to do this? any existing patch that already work like this??

    thanks!!

    I thought one way to achieve this result would be to start all the loops at the same time and then modulate their volume (on/off, with ADSR to crossfade and to add a gentle release..) with a separate keyswitch.
    since i don't use KSP since several years... do you have some suggestions on how to do this in an efficient way?

    Hey Bosone, I have the same question here and noticed you got this question answered on the VI Control Forum. Would you mind sharing the script you used to get this to work? I'm a total newb. Thx much!!

    THANK YOU BOSONE! You have no idea what you've done here... this is VERY VERY VERY COOL!!! I've been after this functionality from day one and hadn't seen it done beyond the NI "Session" series. This opens the doors for a ton of possibilities for those old libraries like the 9V-audio collection not to mention hope for faithful recreations of keyboards with auto-accompaniment features. I can hear that CasioTone CT-370 drum fill now haha! Thanks again!
