		<description>Update: Version 1.6 080812

+ AudioTrigger
+ Scale redesigned and fixed for polyphonic input

Edit: Manual Page

Comments:
AudioTrigger is a new addition that converts a mono audio input to a midi note event with velocity. Features include a learn button for automatically setting the trigger threshold and numerous controls for adjusting sensitivity including a bandpass filter to reject unwanted frequencies.

Scale was redesigned using a reaktor event table to handle the randomization of polyphonic input which fixed a problem with hung notes.

Thank you,

		<description>Version 1.5 080626

+ Midi FilterX8
+ Midi Filter (single) edited for better recall.

Edit: Manual Page

Comments:
Midi FilterX8 provides 8 midi filters at once and includes a master bypass. All filtering parameters are represented in 8 Kore User Pages allowing for dynamic recall of all 8 filters on a performance preset basis

Thank you,

		<description>Hi Steve, actually you can do everything you describe with the built in Kore midi effects.  

For controlling external gear and also controlling multi-timbral plugins I recommend creating dummy source channels that do nothing but contain midi properties for the gear they represent.  Each channel in your tone modules' multi for example could be represented as a dummy channel containing nothing but midi effects.

For a fully defined source channel in this fashion you would add from top to bottom: Midi Filter, Midi Transform, Program Change.

Kore 2 handles midi properties that we are accustomed to seeing embedded in channel objects like daws; as seperate objects they call midi effects.  This is also tied to what things participate in performance preset (aka parameter scene) recall.  The basic midi properties of a source channel like channel and port are not switchable since they cannot be represented in a controller page.  Unless something is represented in a Controller Page, it cannot be dynamically recalled, unless you consider re-loading a performance using external software 'dynamic'.  Which I do not.  

So what you do is add those midi effects to your dummy channel to represent some other resource you want to include in your setlist and then start building your performance presets, or setlist as I prefer to imagine it.

You can do the same with a single instance of kontakt, that certainly responds to multiple midi channels.  Since your best memory use is to get all your sampling instruments in a single instance of kontakt so the samples and dfd buffers are not duplicated; point multiple dummy source channels to that kontakt instance and represent the instruments, or better, instrument banks at the top level so they can be recalled in your setlist.  Using this method it is possible to consolidate all your sampling instruments including elektrik and akoustik piano into well organized banks that respond to program change.  For a more professional approach you can use the multiple output versions of the kontakt plugin and then use the kore command 'add additional output' to bust out your seperate outputs at the top level of Kore.  Continuing as a pro you can setup dummy channels as direct output busses as well.

For live purposes you can get really fancy and re-sample all your external gear with Autosampler (though this one doesn't autoloop) which creates exs24 instruments, which open sort of uncorrupted (velocity fades) in kontakt.  Even better is to re-sample those totally dorka$$ plugins with dongles and picante sauce into kontakt instruments which then playback with a more reliable cpu hit.  Since noone wants to use standard formats anymore and make their own proprietary encrypted inaccessable and soon obsolete playback engines, you can get around their evil empire ways with software like autosampler, kontakt and kore.

This post took 1 hour to write and check.

Best of luck Steve!</description>

		<description>I am confused as to which module I should use.  I want to be able to incorporate an external synth with my virtual Kore synths and layer and play them live.  This means I have to be able to change a patch on my external synth at the same time that I change to a different virtual instrument within Kore and I need to have my midi notes go simultaneously to both the Kore instruments and the external instrument(s) with the audio returning to Kore for additional effects processing.  So, do I use Kore2Midi, Transform, Bank or RC1?  The program changes to my rig are usually sent by my midi foot controller but they could also be sent by my wind controller.  In addition to playing notes, changing programs, I also need to be able to control all of these with various CC messages in real time.

Is this possible with Kore 2 &#38; the Kore 2 Reaktor Toolpack?

Thanks,
Steve</description>

		<description>Version 1.4 080525

+ Kore2MidiX8Learn
+ Midifilter ens and ksd
+ Bank / Program Change ens and ksd now includes bank msb and lsb

Edit: Manual Page

Comments:
The Kore2MidiX8Learn is simply a version where all the controls send unique numbers for universal midi learn. This is the same version as mentioned in this thread previously but is now included in the zip.

The Midifilter ens and ksd are new and allow for general or specific midi event filtering.

The Bank ens and ksd have been extended to include bank msb and lsb values, with delays set on recall to make sure msb, lsb and program change are sent in the right order. MSB was added to support external modules like Roland.

To get more information and obtain the software:
