[Rwp] AHK for kontakt 5

[Chris Belle]

I haven't abandoned sonar yet,
it's more like I decided to include reaper in my tool kit so I could be 
more productive, I'm a multiple tool user 'grin'.
I'm sort of the odd man out when it comes to sample playback, I create 
my own.
I love the sfz format,
so it's no big deal for me to layer up a snare, or map a sampled drum to 
the keys i want.
I mostly deal with singer song writers, so I don't need the big kontakt 
libraries,
and personally though I don't talk a lot about it most places,
I tend to avoid native instruments, not because I don't like their 
sounds, but because they have traditionally been unfriendly toward us 
with regards to accessibility,
I don't mean in the usual way we normally get, but sort of hostile even.
So I use a hodge podge of things, some hardware units, sound fonts, some 
different synths,
like good old stand-by's hypersonic2,
and dimension pro and refills for that and expansions, sessiondrummer 3, 
which are the sfz format which I can modify to my needs and use in other 
sfz players like sforzando, and since I play guitar that gives me
the flexibility I need to make my customers happy.
Most of what I do is country and southern gospel,
and folk,
classic rock, and
the like so I don't need
so many crazy sounds, but just a good list of decent bread and butter stuff,
all though I do dabble a bit with EDM, and this and that, but I'm 
basically a down home roots kind of guy.
I have ivory here, and some other modeled pianos, and there are a ton of
analog synth things out there,
both free and paid for, so am not lacking in sounds at all when I feel 
like stretching out and experimenting.
But I respect those who just have to have kontakt, there are some 
amazing libraries ou there.
but I looked at it all and each time a new library comes out, it's 
another scripting job,
and getting someone to do it, and I decided to go the home carpenter 
approach and say, hey, I can do a lot of this myself under the hood, and 
you can buy good samples a lot of places to do stuff with, so there you 
have it.
