This instrument features a performance script called Strummer. We record the samples in world-class studios, of course. Winning both of his majors at specialties.
A Performance page control lets you choose whether the pitch you hear matches the key you play by transposing the keyboard down 19 semitones or its third harmonic as would happen in the real world. Each of the 60 Kontakt instruments in Scriptorium has custom scripts and control panels. Jammer is like an arpeggiator, but it can randomize offsets for pitch and octave as well as Velocity and timing. My favorite novelty script is Ring Harmonizer.

Known for their intuitive interfaces and innovative sounds, Soniccouture have gained a reputation as one of the most boundary-pushing developers in their field. The effects include sustained and damped scrapes, clunks, and clusters, and they''re great fodder for effects processing and Xtended Piano''s synth processing and modulation. This is great for playing slightly different drum hits, for instance, to prevent 'machine gunning' on fast runs. What I find disappointing is that it could be slightly clearer that these are not designed to be used by library developers. It seems slightly more settled now, with the quality developers all occupying their own slightly different ground.
We can leave the flexibility in the instrument for the user to play with if they want to. Soniccouture''s first foray into this territory was Bowed Piano, released in 2008.

The Mute Piano''s mute point is a third of the way down the string, which brings out the third harmonic an octave plus a fifth above the played note. It includes controls for randomizing a bunch of parameters: velocity, tuning, speed and sample start time offset. Overall Rating 1 through 5 : 5. A lot of inspiration has been condensed into these Scripts, and they represent good value for money. Three scripts provide variations on random note generation. Soniccouture aim to change all of that with this unique package — Scriptorium. We wanted to make an instrument from different pitched fence recordings and we contacted Chris Watson who had worked with Wired Lab.
The scripts divide roughly into two categories: note and controller processing. He is very playful but always has time for a good belly rub. The Mute Input button suppresses the notes you play. A different concept entirely to traditional effects like compressors or reverbs, these ingenious tools open up new worlds of sonic possibility within Kontakt. The intent is to generate a ìsecond playerî that plays notes in between your notes. You need only scan the 40 instruments in the Sound Design section to see how far synth-parameter editing, extreme script settings, and the four effects processors let you take inside the lid outside the box.

I already knew this one from Hang Drum, lovely script to get some rhythmic melodies. Although these techniques originated with unorthodox composers like Henry Cowell, George Crumb, Curtis Curtis-Smith, and Stephen Scott in the early 20th century, a number of jazz, rock, and classical performers continue to venture under the lid. It uses the mod wheel to strum up and down through the held notes.
