Chris Hein harmonica - pitch bend with after touch

[bigalminal]

I’m using CH harmonica in Kontact 6, and I want to pitch bend with after touch from my keytar. I’m not that familiar with Kontact having only just scratched the surface. Can some good person point me to a tutorial showing how to do this please? Many thanks.

You don’t do it with Kontakt - you do it with Gig Performer.

Throw a knob on a panel - learn Aftertouch — map the widget to the Pitchbend parameter of the MIDI In Block that’s going to Kontakt

Then set the scaling curve depending on whether you want aftertouch to pitchbend up

or pitchbend down

However, depending how decent is your aftertouch response, you’ll probably want to tweak that scaling curve.

Thanks very much DJH. That’s a great explanation.
