  • Seach back controllers ... but how about search back custom KS notes? (p.2)

The new(ish) MIDI note chase feature will find and play the notes that are sustained at the point where the playback starts. So if you just increase the duration of keyswitch notes so that each one extends all the way up to the next keyswitch, wouldn't the correct (currently sustained) keyswitch note be triggered regardless of where the playback is started?
 
A generalized "Expression Map" type feature would be great to have, though.

NKS works dynamically, so if there is a patch change, and that patch change alters key switch assignments its communicated back to NKS and the keyboard, so its not inconceivable that such information could be passed between the instrument and the DAW, but it would require industry wide standardisation.

With AAS, Arturia, XILS labs, Orange Tree, Heavyocity and others joining NI NKS is gaining momentum.

Interesting thought on length. That would also make them really easy to spot visually.

Yea. That's kinda nice
but has the aroma of corporate geed eminating from it like a pile of dead fish.
It'll never be applicable to smaller companies that can't afford to buy into the big scheeme and also not be available to us that are working with and fixing up older libraries that work very well for our purposes and sometimes even better than anything available that is NI approved.

I'd love an Expression Map feature, but I imagine there are some hurdles<G>.

I've tried dozens of solutions, and as I mentioned earlier, these days I jump through hoops with scripts that translate back and forth between KS and CC. It works, but it is a challenge to use.

I used to use a separate MIDI track, and that worked reasonably well for everything but chasing events. I think I need to spend some time with the idea of making the KS long enough to work with MIDI Note Chase.

Thanks so much for that!!
