Pro Audio Support

Q:
I would like to remove un-used audio date from the samples I've loaded in order to save sample memory. Is it possible to edit the start and end of a sample loaded into Kontakt?
 
A:
At this time, Kontakt does not offer any "destructive" editing capabilities to samples loaded into a keymap. You will need to use an external audio editor to truncate your samples before loading them into Kontakt. Programs like Spark, Peak, Wavelab, and other 2-track audio editors can provide you with this functionality. Whether this and other "destructive" audio editing functions will be implemented in the future, is still to be determined.

• I am struggling to get modulation of loop points and loop length to work, or to understand how they work. For example I have sample that is 8000 samples long. Loop start is at 5000 and loop end is at 8000. I then let CC01 modulate Loop End, and turn the modulation intensity to -100. Now I would intuitively thought that when pressing the modwheel up, the loop end point would move towards position 5000. That is, modwheel 0 -> 127 should make Loop End 8000 -> 5000, the loop should become smaller and smaller and when modwheel is at max, the loop is very small. The same problem goes for modulating loop start. I would think that the start point would move towards the loop end point scaled to fit the modulation source. I can hear that something happens with the loop, but the polarity of the modulation has to be opposite of what I think it should be, and I can no way tell what happens to my loop but I guess it moves the whole loop or something. I am very sure that there is no scaling going on between the mod source span and the loop size.
