Is there a Kontakt user library?
I'm a long-time Reaktor developer who's becoming interested in creating Kontakt instruments. When you create a Reaktor instrument a natural thing to do is upload it into the Reaktor User Library. So, I looked for a Kontakt User Library, and it seems to be read-only. Is there no Kontakt User Library, or am I missing…

Wanting Kontakt to recognize script.lua in Resources directory
Hey! So, I notice that when I repack a Resource Container it only reconizes scripts in the Resources folder IF they have a .txt extension. This is unfortunate, as I name them .lua so that Sublime will highlight the syntax correctly. I know I can cut & paste the code into Kontakt's script editor, but I'd really rather avoid…

When using the Creator Tools GUI Designer...
When using the Creator Tools GUI Designer, the very last setting for the performanceView is Icon:image. Can you reference the "Stock" icons that are in Instrument Options? I do get you can make one and put it in pictures (which should be called images or graphics, not pictures lol. That's almost as bad as calling it…

script error for ep preamp mode
Is there a known bug for this EP Preamps engine parameter? set_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_EPP_EQ_MODE, $NI_EPP_EQ_MODE_E_GRAND,-1,3,$NI_MAIN_BUS) This is a part of a select/case.

Send MIDI to Outside World - Instrument Script Not Sending Correct Note-Off
I have a problem with Kontakt 6.7.1 where instrument scripts are sending note-off messages, to the outside world, for the incoming note instead of the note changed by the script. I've tried a couple factory instrument scripts: Randomize Pitch Change Keys and both exhibit the same incorrect behavior. After some…

Microtuning Session Horns Pro
Hi all, I'm trying to get microtuning to work with NI session horns pro. The microtuning script doesn't seem to have any effect, having checked with a tuner plugin. On the other hand, global tuning works fine at resolutions less than one semitone. This is the first time I've used a script in kontakt, but it looks pretty…

Excluding certain groups from randomized group play with code
Is it possible to include/exclude groups from the Random group play option with code? I have tried using allow() and disallow() groups. This only mutes them, leaving an empty slot in the randomized play cycle. I want to disable it completely so the pattern is not broken. If that's note possible, can you create/remove the…

How to control this function?...
Hey, Does anyone know to control the mod velocity/volume parameter below? (highlighted yellow) Is the script as simple as controlling volume i.e set_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_VOLUME) as long as I know how to identify this parameter? Effectively I want to control this parameter in certain groups to create a 'dynamic response'…

How do I get set_key_color to apply on instrument load?
The simplest script in Kontakt 6: on init set_key_color(1, $KEY_COLOR_RED) end on works great when applied, however when I load the instrument, the keys come up all white. All the instruments I look at have the keyswitches colored on instrument load. What's the secret I'm missing? I copied all the code from another…

Round robin issue
So I’ve made a simple sampler instruments with some hits in a reverberant room, I’ve loaded them all up with some velocity layers, and set all samples to play as one-shots as I want them all to play to the end. Three round robins. Whenever I reach the third, though, it doesn’t play as a one-shot. Can’t seem to find the…

Seeking Help to sync groups LFOs
Hello ! I'm new to scripting in Kontakt and I have some issues with my groups LFOs. What I want to achieve is the "Marimba Repeat" effect found on the Lowrey TBO organ, where the organ volume is controlled by some sort of a square wave but is out of phase by 180° on certain notes (D,D#,E,G#,A,A#). What I have done is I…

Adding an arpeggiator

Multiple Octave controls
I would like to control the octave of several groups separately, that is to say an octave control for groups 1, 2, 3 ($oct1) and a separate octave control for other groups 5, 6, 7 ($oct2 ) . However, I can't separate these two controls into dedicated groups: I tried to differentiate the groups in 2 arrays ( %firstctrl,…

Release Triggers clicking
Hi there, As I am adding my release triggers into Kontakt (not via scripting, I'm using the Release Trigger button in my release trigger group), some of them have a click at the beginning, even if I adjust the fade in for it, so it doesn't start on an odd part of the wave. It almost sounds like the release trigger is not…
