Scale options disappear with drum rack inserted. Err...

Post by jonljacobi » Mon Apr 01, 2024 6:26 pm

Okay, at first thought this might seem to make a lot of sense, as drums don't generally follow a scale. However...

I (and many others as I didn't invent the trick) use drum racks in an instrument rack to provide labels for multi-articulation instruments in Kontakt that show where the key switches are. Staccato, legato, vibrato, etc.

So now we can have my labels, or the scale functions, but not both. This means constantly adding and deleting the drum rack with the labels if we want to use the scale function.

I'm not sure of the best way to resolve this. Perhaps a standalone labeling function?

I don't remember this being an issue until the global key signature in 12 but I no longer have 11 installed to check.

I don't think this changed anything compared to L11.
(and obviously, Centercode is not really the place to discuss this :wink: )
