Like I said, the legato iMIDI rules are currently simply ignored by the sampler. What happens is that the sampler currently just plays the sample of the very first dimension region zone of the "smart midi" dimension. In gigedit that's the most left dimension region zone of the "smart midi" dimension. > I'm not sure if the developers want to troubleshoot this for a single > unique giga file? Well, I can just speak for myself of course; unfortunately I am personally not interested in implementing Tascam's legato iMIDI rules in LS for the reasons said before. Scripts do much more than those, and the scripting power is growing every day. But if somebody wants to implement those legato rules; go ahead, you have the sources, and on gigedit and libgig side they are already implemented. > AFAICS, the imidi stuff is deprecated basically in favour of the kontakt > scripting (which'd make a lot more sense, but would require reprogramming > the entire legato instrument from the sample level up), but there is not > (yet) a working proof of concept of these rules working in a gig file under > LinuxSampler. You are just calling play_note() based on a) which key was previously pressed down and b) which new key was pressed down (see %KEY_DOWN[] and $EVENT_NOTE): http://doc.linuxsampler.org/Instrument_Scripts/NKSP_Language/Reference/play_note_function/ Everything you do beyond that in your script, is more what those original legato iMIDI rules were able to do. It really works. But sure, there is probably no ready-to-use example script yet that you could simply copy and paste specifically for legato. So yes, you would need to read the scripting docs, write some script by yourself and create your own instrument preset with either gigedit or a SFZ file to resemble the legato behavior with the legato samples your already have there.
