Is there an easy way to change the colour, contrast etc. of an official Kontakt library?

el-bo · December 2023

I have a library that causes me viewing difficulty. I used to have two issues with it. One was the size. However that has been solved using it in K7 player (Also, messing around with a newer 4K screen also offers bigger on-screen view options). The problem I still have with this GUI is the contrast between the background colour and the colour of the objects and fonts.

I did actually talk to the developer about these issues, but they didn't seem convinced of the necessity. From memory, they mightve said they'd consider offering options, but that was a long while back.

The library doesn't seem to be locked in any way, so I thought there might be a pretty easy way to adjust the colour and contrast an then save it as a new nki.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

There is no easy way to do such thing and it is not officially supported too.

You have to mess-up with scripts etc, and i am not sure how much "messing" is legal and how much is not.

I assume that, if something is not locked, then you can edit it. :-)

Thanks :)

Not saying you're wrong, but I am curious as to why there'd be any legal issue with me making some changes for personal use. Of course, if I were looking to distribute/sell it might indeed be the case that I'd be breaking T & C.

Assuming for a moment that it were within legal boundaries, would the scripting part really be more than a couple of instructions (Scripting neophyte, here)?

Can't say for sure, i mentioned it just in case. Obviously, if "what's going on on your computer, stays only on your computer", i assume you won't have any problem. However i think my second phrase covers everything:

"if something is not locked, then you can edit it" :-)

However such options, if available, are usually hidden, available only to advanced users, i think you realize the necessity for this.

Thanks again :)

At the uppermost level it seems to be editable i.e pressing the wrench icon opens, and i seem to have enough access to mess around with the sample mapping, effects etc. Whether certain other parts can be locked separately, i don't know. But it seems to be open.
