    @Uwe303 I think OP means this wrench tool

    So, yes for newer libraries the option to edit the scripts in the library is not possible, and the wrench tool becomes this:

    So @Michael Terry you can still look under the hood on older libraries, it's not a Kontakt 7 thing but a per library thing.

    As I understand it most of the libraries (Kontakt Factory 2, Cuba, India, Ashlight, et al) as well as the pre-built libraries are locked for editing because of the sensitive scripting for high definition scalability.

    Seems that the code technology is under some sort of legal NDA licensing currently.

    This may change in the future, but don't hold your breath.

    Hello,

    no it's all still there, on top left you have a button to switch to the old view. And on top right you have a button to switch to edit view. https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/comment/35019#Comment_35019

    Yeah the edit mode capability is specified per library, not a global thing in the whole of Kontakt.

    Can anybody give a solution as to how to disable the "+Group" for the new instruments?

    It's annoying because loading multiple instruments in 1 NI session will play all instruments when hitting a key.

    This is the fact for all the Percussion instruments (Factory library 2 > Acoustic> 9-Percussions), and this is really bugging me.

    Does NI have to put out an update to solve this, where could I report this bug or request this?
