In this Complex User Interface tutorial we will build a fully functional UI with multiple Screens: main screen, FX screen and about screen. Whereas the FX screen holds a sub menu for two different FX: a LoPass filter and a LoFi FX.

If you are missing a detailed list of all Kontakt fonts, here is a little tool for you. This is a simple nki for Kontakt 5 which lets you display all font types on miscellaneous background colors for better readability. UPDATE: since Kontakt 6 we can now create and use own fonts.

With Native Instrument’s Kontakt there is currently a bug with the Time Machine Pro algorithm which is causing tempo sync problems and heavy note droppings (when playing more than 5 notes at once) . Especially the note droppings are significant with large polyphonic libraries like the Action Strings. Native Instruments is already working on that […]

Unfortunately once the initial wallpaper is set, we can’t alter the image file anymore. Even not by setting different initial wallpapers for each script tab. Because the last applied wallpaper will be the one and only initial wallpaper for the whole instrument. But we can either offset the initial wallpaper that means moving it via […]

to create your custom UI and place custom controls you can chose between a grid system or exact pixels.

The instruments background image is called “wallpaper”. Its’ the basic background texture where all UI elements (knobs, buttons etc) get layered on top. Just to give you an example: we could take our default graphic software and design a realistic synth surface wallpaper (png file) containing “sockets” for some knobs and buttons with detailed shadows, […]

Like with any other programming languages in KSP there are also variables, arrays and constants. They can only be declared inside the on init callback and can then be used throughout the whole script. So they are all on global scope by default and can even be used inside custom functions.

The Basic code structure is very simple. We basicaly put most of our code into  callbacks All callbacks look like this on <callback> … end on code inside callbacks gets executed when specific events happen. e.g. playing a note on our keyboard always executes the “on note” callback. callbacks are vastly needed to communicate with […]

Before we start scripting we should create a resource container where we put in all the files we need for our instrument (e.g graphic files or impulse responses etc.)
