Velocity Curve using Kontakt 5?

Does Kontakt 5 have the capacity to weight velocities from "1" to "127" for an instrument like HZP so that they gradually get a little quieter than normal by the time you get to "127". You might call this a kind of MIDI-volume compression applied to the relative "loudness" levels of velocity, as you progress from 1 to 127. I think "velocity curve" is, I guess, the phrase that applies.

This is built into some keyboards. I wonder if Kontakt 5 can pull that off?

I posted this question in the 3rd party forum, but I'll try to delete it!!

 

That sort of feature really needs to be implemented in the library, there's no generic script that does that as far as I know.

 

Drat!

 

Of course, it depends what you meant. If you just want to change the velocity curve in a more detailed fashion, you can use a factory multiscript:



But if you want to change the volume of each individual key, that is what needs to be done in the library itself.

 

The latter: squeezing velocity from 0-127 into a narrower volume range. More complex than a simple velocity compression, etc., which most sequencers can do

 

So, just to confirm, kontakt 5 can’t as yet squeeze the velocity layers of a sampled instrument into a diminished volume range (such that the volume of higher velocity layers is reduced or lowered).

 

It can but it has to be done in the instrument itself. Preferably by the developer of the instrument.

 

Hello, is there a way to get that Vel Table but for AHD controls?

 

Not sure what you mean. That multiscript adjusts the velocity of notes coming into Kontakt, it doesn't care what sort of envelope controls the volume...

 

no excuse I made my question wrong, .... I have my AHDSR controls well defined and I would like to get the graph of the curve so I can see the movement of the curve when I move my parameters.

my question is that I don't know how to make the curve display

 

This is not easy to do in Kontakt, unfortunately. There is a workaround using a ui_table, but this has very limited resolution.

 

I was afraid of that, .. by any chance could you share with me some example code for the alternative solution? I've searched and I can't find anything anywhere

Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my question, even when my question is not related to the post.

 

It is possible to put a VST plugin or midi effect ahead of Kontakt in your DAW to transform the MIDI to compress the velocity range. Ableton has built in 'MIDI effects' that do this. You can currently get Live Lite for free via Splice. https://splice.com/plugins/free_plugins?category=daw
I think other DAWs like Reaper might have something similar.
