Howdy folks

I was wondering if anyone knew how to change riffs in action strings

EG: What i want to do is say play riff one, on the verses say, then change to riff 2 on the chorus, but i just can't work out how to do it

I have a midi channel set to midi channel 1 and the riff plays back fine for the verse, just as i want it to, but when the chorus comes up and i want to change to riff 2 i don't know what to do

Is it a case of setting up two midi tracks and two instances of kontakt and playing riff one on midi channel 1 with the first instance of kontack, then play riff 2 on midi channel 2 with the second instance of kontakt

Sorry if this don't make sense but it's the best way i can describe it

Cheers

 

I thought you just use key switches to change riffs.

 

Sorry man, what do you mean, I'm pretty clueless with kontakt, I'm just getting into how it works you see?

Say I have a riff I want to play from one section, but then i want to use another riff from a completely different section, how do i do it?

cheers

 

C0 plays riff 1 C#0 plays riff 2 etc. So in your midi track you place a note at D0 and it will trigger your third riff and so on. It's in the manual, also on youtube.

Cheers dude, I'll have a look at it

Ok, I've got how you change a riff in the same section by adding a midi note the c0 etc.

But how do I take a completely different riff from a completely different section to use?

Eg: Say I wanted to use riff 1 from the basic 8ths section on the verses, then use riff 3 from the marching section on the chorus, then say, riff 2 from the 16ths section on the bridge?

Would i need to use 3 instances ok kontakt, or is there a way around it?

Thanks man, sorry for the dumb ass questions, but you know what it's like when you're trying to get to something, it's frustrating as hell

 

With 1 patch, you can have up to 10 rhythms (you see 5 of them but you can switch with the buttons slots 1-5/ 6-10 at the bottom).

You can choose sets of rhythms with the arrows but you can also change them one by one by clicking on the partition line (if I remember correctly).

There are tons of videos guiding you through this if you need. Have fun!

 

Cheers guys, I've cracked it now, how obvious was it?

In the words of Homer Jay Simpson....Doh!

 

Glad you got it sorted

 

Don't feel too bad. I had issues with it too....
Actually think it transitions riffs quite badly sometimes too but oh well!
