The SF Kontakt instruments let you assign key switches across Kontakt instances all on the same midi channel. The Audiobro articulation sets seem set up as values on a single keyswitch just like the SF instruments using UACC so this functionality should be possible. Has anyone tried simply adding the expansion to the same Kontakt instance and then modifying the output keyswitches in the articulation set so they don’t overlap?
Kontakt is limited in the size/number of samples for an instrument. This is the main reason Spitfire created their own instrument, from what I understood. Embertone also complained about it when the Walker - which is why each mic was a separate instrument. It doesn't surprise me that MSS ran out of slots in their instrument and had to do a second one.
Not sure what DAW you're using of course, but for instruments I use often, I make this a once time configuration, then save as a Logic preset.
What DAW are you using JB? Thanks!
Logic. And I don’t know how this might work with the full MSS (I only have the expanded legato). But I’ve done this sort of set with other complex libraries (e.g., Berlin Strings) to get everything on one track. And I noticed that the expanded legatos come with articulation sets that are triggered by velocities on a single key switch so it seems like you can likely rework the articulation sets to accommodate everything in the same midi channel, though I don’t know the actual complexity of the main MSS library.
