A problem with the volume in Kontakt

michael diemer
Hi, vdvorn. Try going to the advanced tab on the Kontakt interface (on an actual instrument, in your case the trumpet). You will see a list where you can set controllers to specific numbers. Set the volume controller to 7. Then put in a CC event at the start of the piece, CC7=100 for example.

Clear as mud? 😄 I hope I explained it better. I did test it on my computer using the same factory trumpet section for the test.

If not, double check all the stuff I just said, OR make sure you don't have other siurce tracks with different volumes pointing to that instance of Kontakt by mistake.

I just checked, that the problem exist on both of my versions of Kontak (usual and portable).
 
As for changing the volume controller to 100 I did not find the advanced tab, where I can do it...

There are two tabs on the right of the synth. One says Basic, the other Advanced.

Fumbled through it in Kontact Player, I don't know how different they are, but may help.
Opens 'Instrument Settings' Orange
Select 'Controller' Red
The click 'Accept standard controllers fr Volume and Pan' Green
 
As soon as I did that, the Volume fader in Kontact started moving Yellow
 
 
What would control 'Gain Fader in Kontact Blue?

Thank you for the help, but I have this option already checked, but the fader does not move.
How did you get this Gain faders? I can not find it in Options...

Don't feel stupid. Trust me, we've all been there. It's all a learning experience and you'll continue to build on each step as you go. The reason you're not seeing the same thing is because when you inserted Kontakt, you inserted as a 'Simple Instrument Track'. That way will only show the synth audio track. ( you can right click the synth audio track and click Split Instrument track to see the midi track and synth audio track separately, BUT I don't recommend this because the CC7 will NOT be assigned to volume. And Yes you can assign it by right clicking the volume slider in Kontakt and then sliding the un-hidden midi track volume slider, BUT, doing so will result in the CC7 value of 127 becoming +12db... Not ideal.

Best thing to do is load a new instance of Kontakt and when it asks 'Insert soft synth options', click Midi source, Synth track folder and First synth audio output. This will then create a folder in the Track View that contains the Synth audio track AND the Midi source track and will Automatically assign CC7 to volume with 127 = -6db.
(If it doesn't ask about soft synth options you can change those in the Synth browser next to the +{insert synth} and X{delete synth} there's an icon for 'Insert Synth options' ... it says that when you hover over)

Then try adjusting the Volume on the Midi source track and watch the Kontakt volume slider move.

Let me know how these steps go for you.

ps. before you post, it's a good idea to 'select all' and copy the post, that way if it doesn't post you can paste it back and try again. 😉

I haven't needed to split tracks, and haven't had your problem. So there should be a cure, rather than a remedy.
 
When I open Kontact  'The click 'Accept standard controllers for Volume and Pan' is defaulted to off. Was to defaulted to off for you before today? (I'm just guessing here)
