The foundation of this sound design technique involves the alteration of source material. Instead of playing a sample chromatically across a keyboard, the Bobdule method often utilizes:

Bobdule listens for MIDI CC messages. Each CC can control a 3D property. The example below sends the value of a Kontakt knob ($ENGINE_PAR_CUTOFF) as CC 20.

on init
  declare ui_slider $Cutoff (0, 1000000)
  make_persistent($Cutoff)

message("")
end on


on ui_control ($Cutoff)
set_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_CUTOFF, $Cutoff, -1, 0, -1)


 Send value to Bobdule as CC 20 
ignore_midi_cc_out(0)   allow MIDI output 
set_midi(0, 176, 20, $Cutoff / 3921)   scale 0..1M to 0..127 
ignore_midi_cc_out(1)
end on

Explanation: set_midi(0, 176, 20, value) sends a Control Change message on channel 1 (176 = CC + channel 0). Value is scaled from 0..1,000,000 to 0..127.

Kontakt is memory-hungry. Tutorials in this style always advise checking the Purge function. If you are writing a song that doesn't use the high notes of a piano, you can "Purge" those samples to save RAM, freeing up space for more instruments.
