Midi Automation
Midi automation gives you 2 ways of sending and receiving real-time features such as crossfading vibrato or crossfading dynamics:
     1) On-The-Fly and
     2) "Drawing" the data into a track.
However, to do "on the fly" control while you are recording the notes, you'll need an external midi keyboard or device that you can assign various different midi cc numbers to output.

1. On-The-Fly
Using your external Midi keyboard While Recording. Note: You won't be able to use the mouse to record in the automation data. This only works w/ host automation.

  1. Once you load an instrument, click the "Auto" tab in Kontakt's browser pane. Then click Midi Automation. Scroll down to cc 102. You will see the controller numbers and their knob assignments. (Click the cc number in that window, and you'll see what instrument actually has that assignment in the window just below.) You can then set your external controller to the desired knob's assigned midi cc number.
  2. On the midi track where you are recording, make sure you have set the automation mode to either "Latch" or "Touch".
  3. Record onto your track and use your external controller to access the knob you have set it to engage. (Note: when you use Modwheel Vibrato (or ModFF), you will not be able to actually see the SusVib (or SusFF) knob's values change even though you WILL hear the effect in real time.

Using your external Midi keyboard After Recording. Note: You won't be able to use the mouse to record in the automation data. This only works w/ host automation.

  1. Record without using your controller to access automation. (Basically, just record some notes, no automation.)
  2. Now, go back to where you started the recording, and engage playback. (You MAY have to engage record rather than playback alone.) Then, simply use your controller (assigned to the midi cc that is assigned to the knob you want to access), and the data will be recorded. (Make sure you're in "latch" or "touch" mode if you're not in record mode.)

2. "Drawing" the data into a track
Simply assign the track to display the midi cc you want (the knob's midi cc assignment shown in Kontakt's Midi Automation pane), and draw in the data.
