Add midi keys to rack chain select options

Post by wooly » Sat Jan 06, 2007 8:31 pm

HI

it would be fantastic if we could select chains with midi keys as well as rotary encoders. In fact maybe if we had a dropdown to choose between types of controller this would be better

The reason is becuase Sampler has no keyswitch function like Kontakt for switching between different group articulations of expression like between trills and other orchestral variations of strings

At the moment a workaround that takes a while to set up..[please can we have kontakt multis support??] is that multiple samplers as chains in a rack can be created and a kind of key switching can be assigned to chain select with a rotary ENCODER that can cycle through the options.

But this still isnt ideal as you cant select ANY sample group but have to travel via the series.

Maybe if there was an option to have a key as a selector for each chain - an easy thing to do then this would provide parity with kontakt 2 keyswitch selections

Thanks
