I read the pdf that came with the Acoustic Guitar Collection and it makes mention of hammer-ons and pull-offs, and I think I remember something about that in your videos, too, but I just can't seem to get it to work.

Any tips?

I'm using ACID, and the key range is slightly different, so I think that if I hold any key below E1 should work. Either way I've tried both below E0 and below E1.

Thanks!

Any key below E0 should trigger legato mode, which is really just monophonic- a new note will cut off the previous note, which does work well for simulating hammer-ons and pull-offs. There are no special sample sets for these effects.
I did test the "Acoustic Guitar Collection" instrument just to be sure that nothing got messed up with the latest update, and it was working on my system.
In an effort to keep the interface clean with the new version, I did remove the "Legato" button, although the functionality remains with the keyswitch.
Is it possible that midi in the lower keyboard range (below E0) is not getting to the Kontakt channel that has AGC loaded?

You may try transposing the entire instrument down an octave, if the keyrange is changed somehow in Acid.

Thanks,

Thank you for your reply.

I'll play around again to see if I can somehow get legato to work.

ACID can be weird sometimes, but I don't think anything is preventing the midi info from reaching Kontakt. I've used the full range on other instruments.

Anyway, I'll keep a'tryin'.

Want to bump this thread. I;m having the same problem in DP7. Love ACG, but when I try to trigger legato mode, nothing happens. Tried moving around the keyboard in Kontact to make sure I was triggering below E0 and still get nothing. Any thoughts? Thank you!

I'll check it out- maybe something happened in the latest update.

Legato mode is working here in DP7 with the keyswitch. I can't think of what might be happening. Hmmm...
