Hello Kontakt experts and none experts,

I am having a problem with a kontakt library. The library contains string loops My problem is that when I try to tune the stings, the tempo is no longer synced to host DWA. It's driving me crazy and don't know what to do. I no very little about kontakt scripting. Just in case that it's not clear to you what tune I am talking about. The tune wheel by the volume when loading the library.

I am on Mac OS X 10.9.5
Kontakt 5.5.1
ProTools 10-11, logic pro x 10.1

The library is called voices of Istanbul

Thanks for any help in advance

 

Anyone?
Any idea?

 

I tried to recreate the issue, but no-go. I don't have that library, but it didn't work on other Sonokinetic libraries that I have. I tried in PT 10. Anything else that you might have done to cause this mix up? What does it say under Hardware Settings? Your system's Audio Midi settings?

 

Use Time Machine Pro that is available in Kontakt.

 

Yep as written by beatroot use Time machine pro i.e load your sample then open the wave editor, then select second tab, sync & slice.
After that select use time machine pro. Once that done kontakt will synchronize each zone to the tempo. I
f the default tempo not present, ie embedded type it in the value field.
Then making sure use time machine pro tab selected in the source field you can then simply use the tuning wheel to adjust the pitch/tuning whilst maintaining desired tempo. Make sure tracking off.
Then when you wish drag & drop to host u must enable slice function i.e hit grip which will slice loop.
D & D to DAW and then simply change tuning with pitch wheel.
Adjust tempo as desired. Could also write a script but you don't really need to unless u want performance view controls & gui

Another way if u wanted to use script just go to source module change from sampler to Timemachine pro then on script slot 1 insert the following

Code:

on init

declare ui_knob $tune(-36,36,1)
set_control_par_str(get_ui_id($tune),$CONTROL_PAR_TEXT,"Tune")
set_control_par_str(get_ui_id($tune),$CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE,"Tune")
set_control_par(get_ui_id($tune),$CONTROL_PAR_MOUSE_BEHAVIOUR,-500)
move_control($tune,2,2)
make_persistent($tune)

declare ui_value_edit $Voices (1,8,1)
make_persistent($Voices)
declare $change_voices_id
end on
on ui_control ($Voices)
$change_voices_id := set_voice_limit($NI_VL_TMPRO_STANDARD,$Voices)
end on
on async_complete
if ($NI_ASYNC_ID = $change_voices_id)
message("New TM Pro Standard Voice Limit: " & get_voice_limit($NI_VL_TMPRO_STANDARD))
end if
end on

on ui_control($tune)
set_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_TUNE,500000 + $tune*13889,-1,-1,-1)
end on

Will give u a knob in performance view that controls pitch up and down 3 octaves without changing tempo & control over number of voices
