These are two different things: The keyswitch dimension is the standard solution that requires no scripting at all. So with that solution you just a) add a "keyboard" dimension with gigedit and b) define the keyswitching range with gigedit (low and high note of the keyswitching range. That's it. If you want to implement keyswitchting by script instead, i.e. because you want a more fine graded keyswitching behaviour than the standard built-in one described above, then don't use the "keyboard" dimension. In fact when doing such things by script then I recommend you to pick a dimension type which would not trigger implied actions by the sampler. Because if you pick e.g. the "modulation wheel" dimension, then of course the sampler would switch dimensions if you rotate the modulation wheel, likewise if you pick the "keyboard" dimension the sampler would switch dimension when the keys of the instrument's keyswitch range are triggered. In the NKSP instrument scripting examples that you find online, e.g. on the old LS 2.0 release notes: http://doc.linuxsampler.org/Release_Notes/LinuxSampler_2_0_0/ I commonly used the "smartmidi" dimension instead for the purpose of switching the dimension regions by scripts, because that dimension type is not switched automatically by the sampler unless you have created iMIDI rules. [ Probably a more cleaner solution would be if we introduce some dedicated, new dimension type in the gig format for scripting purposes instead. ]. So with scripting you would e.g.. use if (%KEY_DOWN[28]) to check for a certain key currently being pressed down and then switch to the desired dimension zone of the smart midi dimension: gig_set_dim_zone($newNote, $GIG_DIM_SMART_MIDI, 2) where the last argument stands for the precise dimension region zone you want to switch to. About change_note() and set_event_par() not having any affect on the built-in "keyboard" dimension: that is not a bug, that's intended behaviour. These functions are intended to modify voice parameters, they are not really intended as MIDI filters. For MIDI event filtering KSP has a separate event handler which is currently not implemented in LS yet. What you could also do though in the "on note" event handler you could use the ignore_event() function to drop the respective MIDI note on event, and then immediately call play_note() instead and pass the return value of the latter to git_set_dim_zone() and switch to the desired dimension zone.
