American Zither - Kontakt Version - Version 1.1

*****************What's New********************

1) Intelligent Round-Robin script - Kontakt's inherent handling of round-robin samples is not optimal, so we've written a script which runs "under the hood" (though still accessible through K2/3's script editor), and intelligently manages the playback of round-robin samples. For example, through this script, instead of a repeating 12-note phrase triggering groups :

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12- , 

it will trigger groups :

1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4, etc.

of course, when a note is played repeatedly, the group played will always advance, but changing notes will only advance the round robin for the new note, while all other notes will "recall" their current round-robin state. This is also true of individual velocity layers within a note.

2) Mod-Wheel (or your choice of CC#) and release triggered rolls. Together with the round-robin performance and convolution, it is now possible to play very expressive realtime-rolls using a number of user-tweakable settings. 

3) Expanded documentation. Please see the new .pdf file included in this package for detailed information on the new performance features.

**********How to install this update************
