Kontakt Player question about velocity curve presets

QuasiUnaFantasia

Recently, I have been toying with the velocity curve editor in Kontakt Player, and I can save a particular velocity curve as a file.
But, how does one create a preset which uses such a specific velocity curve? There must be some way of including the velocity curve preset in the general preset.
Has anyone come across the same problem, and its solution?

Are you running Kontakt on a PC or a Mac?

David B Thanks a lot, I'll try that.

Go to the save icon in Kontakt and select "save multi as" and it should save everything as a preset, touch curve settings, EQ settings, and piano software settings, etc.

God Bless,

QuasiUnaFantasia Yup, just as David B said.

After saving the multi, you can even double-click the multi file (or a shortcut you made to the multi file) and the player will open and everything will set up just as you defined it before saving the multi.

Cheers and happy tweaks,

In that case I recommend an outboard program for your velocity curve.

I use one called Velocity Curve. This one behaves much like fthe one built into Pianoteq.

Unlike Kontakt's velocity curve -- with its ridiculous field-of-grass interface -- Velocity Curve lets you drop points onto the curve and then slide the dots up and down.

The author seems to have abandoned the web site … but I saved the program on Google drive for anyone to download:

MacMacMac Thanks for the tip (I had already gotten it from you back in PW days). But it seems the rather simple tuning ability of Kontakt's velocity curve editor suits my Roland FP-30 very well, so I'll just stick with that for now.

HZPiano I just tried launching Kontakt/Galaxy II via the multi file, and it worked perfectly. Great! 🙂

Thanks for the link to the Velocity Curve program. Do you know if there is also a Mac-compatible version?

I don't actually mind the built in velocity curve editor in Kontakt so much, but the one I have a really hard time with is the UVI Workstation/Ravenscroft. Very awkward to manipulate and I can never seem to get it quite right.

These might be worth looking into.
