Kontakt2 Scripting
Hehe, have just started dabbling with the contact script engine, and, well, it rocks!
A bit of thinking and a bit of hacking, and all of a sudden, you get kontakt to make sequences, pseudo gate effects, and glitches and chops that would take hours of tedious programming to do with regular midi control, all controllable to the detail you choose, as random as you choose. Simply amazing.
Makes me think. Why o why doesn't all sequencers have a scripting engine in them. So you could tell them, for instance, "please chop this audio part into sixteenth, place them an eighth apart and reverse every third one." Would be pretty nice! ;o)
On the other hand, perhaps you have to be into electronica, and a bit of a geek to appreciate that kind of thing, but, hey, I am... =)
Perhaps it's time to have a look at Max/Msp...
Today I recommend: Kontakt2 scripts! (in case you couldn't figure it out yourself =) )

- I have Kontakt2 for a couple of years now, but I have never looked into the scripts. Probably because I thought that it would be too much of a hassle, but maybe I should give it a try.

- I think you should at least page through the scripting tutorial. It's pretty well written and understandable, and the scripting language is very simple, so I think it's pretty quick to get into, especially if you have some kind of prior programming knowledge.
Making the really cool and unique über-scripts is as hard as always I guess, but even very simple scripts can be hugely usable and time saving. -

- Well, I actually have some programming experience (I have been a software developer for 8 years), so I will definitely read the scripting tutorial to look into the possibilities of scripting. Thanks for raising the issue.
