Here’s a useful patch for Kontakt 2/3/4 which lets you control MIDI controllers with keyswitches. It allows you to assign CC#s and their values to non-latching keyswitches. Just load it up in Kontakt alongside any sample library, making sure they’re both on the same MIDI channel.

Hello!
Can this be used as a keyswitch for patches in an instrument bank in kontakt 3?
Can I switch from slot 1 to slot 2 pressing c#0, as an example?
How is it done, if it´s so?
Kind regards

Unfortunately the MIDI patch change, used to switch between loaded instruments in an instrument bank in KONTAKT, isn’t the same thing as a CC#. However, it may be able to do this in KONTAKT 4.
Actually I was looking for exactly the opposite. I would like to be able to activate keyswitches thru MIDI CCs. I have a 25 key keyboard and I cannot access the keyswitching keys. I am more used to host automation than keyswitching anyway. Any ideas?
So essentially, you want to be able to trigger the keyswitches within a sample library using controllers? It sounds like that would have to do on the multiscript level, intercepting the MIDI data before it reaches the instrument and turning it into a keyswitch when applicable.
