Hi, Pat...

About a cello emulator.... check this post(if you havent' already )

Thats a good spirit, not to give up... !! agree with you 100% on the capabilities of the expressiveness on the ALPHA.

Step one.. as you mention; cutting down the amount of pitch bend,
was addressed on this post started by you....
Back then, by the end of the tread, Geert even called you're attention on to Kontakt itself..

I have sent a bug report around this more or less issue.
Have asked Geert to improve STAGE, so what have change you can read about on the Release notes
" Pitch bend curve setting 4 now behaves correctly for AU/VST instruments"
and in " 4 – Changes and Improvements"
"All AU/VST stage tabs now have 'Key Pitch Bend Range' knobs"

SO!!!... so sum it up

- Adjust the knob - "Key Pitch Bend Range" to a lower value then 2.0 to 1.0 or even 0.5 (one semitone)
- Adjust the CURVE of the keys (you're so called sweet spot )- with the knob "Pitch bend curve" to say, 3

NOt giving up, writing this for you, hope you'll get closer to a "wonderful expressive ALPHA

Hi, Pat

With 1.3.30 running, there's no need to add THAT "knobs" to STAGE, they are there...(please check if you are running 1.3.30 - under File / About eigenD)

I'm more then happy to help in a different way, and insist, now that Google+ is so interactive.

Thanks Geert, for stepping in... Forgot all about that in the heat and speed of trying to help out.

Very interesting. I did the "import tabs" trick and all came over without drama. However, when accessing the AU 3 tab in stage, any changes to key pitch bend range or pitch bend curve actually did nothing except cause the numerical value under the dial to blink red without changing value (or effect). I switched to AU1 with the same effect. I could change the volume with the knob, but nothing else (for both). I then loaded up Standard Setup Split 1. Back to AU 1 and the pitch bend knobs worked just fine. I then opened Kontakt 4 into AU 3, loaded up the Gofriller, and SHAZAM the knobs work just fine. I have to assume my upgraded personal profile to load Gofriller didn't make one of the updates unscathed. OK, so now I can control the sweet spot and key pitch bend... step one finished. Step two is to bring the breath pipe or strip into action to control volume. I can use a pedal to control volume, but I've got a free hand for the strip. I could even kill the vibrato from the keys by killing the key pitch bend and use breath to control vibrator through the software. So many possibilities. Thanks to all for your persistent assistance. it's greatly appreciated!

For whatever it is worth, I tend to re-do my setups from a fresh factory setup when something goes awry. This seems to be less work and faster.

How do I go about sending the "old setup" to you?

Thanks,
Pat
