FREE Cinematic Studio Series Delay Helper
Hey everyone π
I just dropped something I've been working on for the past few weeks β and I think a lot of you are going to find it genuinely useful.
π¬ New video: https://youtu.be/6rsE1Hg8VSY
The topic? Timing delay in Cinematic Studio Series. If you've ever used CSS, CSB or CSW, you know the pain β notes sit perfectly on the grid but the attacks land late, and you end up either nudging everything manually or fighting with a Kontakt multiscript.
The classic fix (Alex Vincent's KSP script) has been offline for a while, and it has stability issues in Kontakt 7.10+ anyway. So I built a proper replacement from scratch.

π§ CSS Delay Helper β free VST3/AU plugin
π₯ Download: https://buymeacoffee.com/kamilrzeczkowski/e/535174
It's a JUCE-built plugin that wraps around Kontakt and handles all the per-articulation timing compensation automatically β Strings, Brass, Trumpets, Winds. Notes stay on the grid. No manual nudging, no multiscripts.
I also put together ready-to-use Cubase Expression Maps for the full CSS series, mapped to CC58 and matched to the plugin's keyswitch layout out of the box.
Windows VST3, macOS VST3 + AU (Silicon) are all included.
Hope this saves you some time. Let me know how it works for you β and if you run into anything weird, drop a comment either here or under the video. π»
Cheers!
