Keeping keyboard colours the same when resetting Kontakt

Andrew Finch

Hey all,

Currently I have two buttons that colour different key ranges when selected. Looking at the code below, when I press button1 and then the reset '!' in Kontakt I want the current button key range to stay the same and not revert back to what I have written for the initialization section, how can I make the key ranges persistent on resetting? Thanks in advance.

on init
    
    declare ui_switch $button1
    set_text($button1,"")
    make_persistent ($button1)


    declare ui_switch $button2
    set_text($button2,"")
    make_persistent ($button2)

I would suggest to do all your keycoloring in ONE function that you call from each button. Then you also call this function from "on persistence_changed" callback.
