Currently there’s no way to monitor real mouse events in Kontakt … only partly since Kontakt 6, which is introduced in this Drag & Drop Script.
In general we can only simulate a mouse release event via some workarounds. In this article we will introduce 3 different methods. Read more »
The set_engine_par() command is used to control or set almost any engine parameters like volume, pan, tune, fx, lfo’s, envelopes and more. So wiht this command we actually control Kontakt via our custom UI.

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.
