Viola Da Gamba

• Improved performance

• New nkis for different timestretching modes (improved performance)

• New ability to keyswitch using midi CCs (right click to assign CCs)
• New ability to play multiple rhythms at once using multiple keyswitches (Press and hold several keyswitches at the same time) - See video example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgeXXQ_YzcM

Rhythms nki:

• When saving and closing, sequences created in Pattern Mode will be saved. This way when re-opening the nki, the current sequence will be remembered
• On Kontakt's keyboard, key-press states of keyswitches are also recalled when re-opening
• In legato mode, new notes are given fades to make their entrances more natural
• A small amount of velocity sensitivity added.
• Volume on eighth note rhythms is brought up so they match the other rhythms better
• Minor pitch issues fixed
• gentle eq-ing and volume adjustments to even out the tone between some samples
• In any mode, if keyswitches are changed while holding a note down, the held note's rhythms will now change
• Animations removed (it was fun to have rhythm tiles fly around the interface, but definitely not necessary)
• Sustain pedal now works
• In legato mode, if the sustain pedal is down and repeated notes are played, the repeated notes' velocity will affect the volume

Articulations nki:

• Controls added in the Articulations nki, so that when layering articulations together, their volumes can be controlled individually.
• Longer release times on some articulations

Articulations nki:

• Fixed Richochet, Pizzicato, and Rough keyswitches which didn't work before.

Rhythms nki:

• Add, remove, and rearrange rhythms by dragging and dropping within the interface. This way if you want to change something, you don't have to hit clear and start over.
• Added HQ button, and removed separate HQ nki. This way you can change modes easily without having to swap out nki's.
• Added Stereo width slider underneath the stereo button.
• TMpro voice limit is set to 25 if stereo button is off, and set to 50 if stereo button is on.
• Please note - This new version requires Kontakt (FULL) 6.4.2. The Kontakt 5.8.1 version is coming soon.

• Now works with K5.8.1 and above
• "short" and "swell" articulations no longer tempo sync
• pitchbend enabled

Rhythms nki:

• Now works with K5.8.1 and above (drag and drop works for K6 only)
• fixed legato (it would stop working after a few measures)
• piano keyboard in Kontakt now correctly shows which articulations are turned on

• first column of sustained articulations can be doubled and stereo widened to thicken the sound.
• second column of ornamental articulations can be time stretched, which makes it easier to fit into different tempos and musical contexts. They can be stretched anywhere between half speed to double speed.
• third column of short, percussive articulations can be root-key-shifted, changing their formant.
• volume sliders are now bipolar, more accurately representing their purpose: to just trim volume a little bit.
• the volume sliders were broken by the previous update. Fixed now.
• the previous version messed up the trills and turns, so they were off by a step. Fixed now.
• automation ids added
• dynamic layers crossfade made more obvious
• unmapped keys made black.

Articulations nki:

• nki now opens up with with sliders at their defaults
• Volume on the pizz nudged up 6dB. It layers better with the other short articulations this way.
