Kontakt Scripts

CC to Keyswitch (multiscript)

Converts incoming CC messages to note-on messages. Use this script to add chasing functionality for instruments that only support keyswitches, or if you want to avoid keyswitching (via note-ons) altogether.

Auto-Divisi (multiscript)

Intelligently divides incoming MIDI data to multiple channels. Up to 16 different instruments can be played simultaneously and independently.
New! Version 1.4 introduces a monophonic/unison mode that can be enforced by a CC value.
