Jonathan Adams Leonard is back with yet another update to the Reaktor Toolpack for Kore. Jonathan really earns credit for having made Kore itself doubly useful when combined with Reaktor and his custom patches, and this adds one really cool addition and another improvement to a nice existing feature:

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.

And, Kore + Reaktor users, see our own Eoin Rossney take an in-depth look at the toolpack (minus these new modules):

Who will be the first person to upload a video featuring the audio trigger in Kore? (I’ll see if I can’t make that me!) I’m kind of interested to hook it up to one of the beat-making apps now on my PSP, DS, and iPod touch.

Just a quick (and overdue) update to say that Jonathan Leonard aka Sleen has updated his Kore 2 Reaktor Tool Pack with improvements to Kore2Midi, the Midi Filter and Bank/Program Change tools. From 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.
