with the new ui_panel since Kontakt 6, things became a little easier when it comes to complex ui’s with multiple screens (= panels) inside one script tab.
In this tutorial we will learn the basics of ui_panel.
This tool shows all available key colors. Simply select one color from the dropdown menu. And copy the Variable name from the field below with ctrl+c
The Key Color Viewer works with Kontakt 5, Kontakt 6 and above. Each key color has also been visualized with a keyboard-screenshots-table (below in this article)
If working on big Kontakt projects with large code segments inside the on init you may get confronted with the “parser stack overflow” error. This simple workaround shows how to avoid this error.
Animations via image sprite sheet let your Kontakt instruments feel more organic and vivid. Sprite sheets can also be used for displaying dynamic info like note names or other information. This article is kept simple for a better understanding. The download contains a more advanced version of an oscilloscope, reacting on note height & velocity, easing out on note release, and displaying the note numbers (see video)

in this tutorial we will work with sublime text and macros. A macro works almost like a function. We use them like functions and we can use arguments to pass expressions to alter or individualize several parameters inside a macro. Read more »
set_skin_offset(). So if we create a wallpaper sprite which is as double as high as our ui_size (in this case 2 x 608px) we can put 2 wallpapers into this one image file like shown on the left. The visible area is only from 0 pixel to 608 pixel.
We can now set a button for example which moves the background skin 608 pixel vertically to put the second wallpaper into the visible area. This short demo video shows how it works:
In this tutorial we will learn how to dynamically change labels and display the knob’s current value for the time the knob gets moved. After releasing the knob the default label shows up again after a certain delay. See video
