Building a KSP Plugin to Control a Bass Instrument in Kontakt — Every Pitfall Documented
· 6 min read
A friend of mine plays fretless bass, and we have a long-term goal: record multisamples of their playing and turn it into an original Kontakt instrument. But sampling takes time and preparation. So as a first step, I decided to build a KSP script plugin to control an existing bass instrument — learning the tooling before the real recordings happen.
This is the record of writing that KSP (Kontakt Script Processor) script: implementing portamento, slide-in, and vibrato, and everything that went wrong along the way.
