About Course

Learn how to take control of Kontakt’s factory scripts using your own custom UI and code.

Kontakt includes powerful built-in scripts like the Arpeggiator, Portamento, and Humanizer, but these are often hidden behind inflexible factory UIs. This advanced masterclass shows you how to integrate and control factory scripts entirely through your own interface, giving you the freedom to design and deliver more polished, professional instruments.

You’ll build a fully functional Kontakt instrument that brings together multiple factory modules, replaces the stock UI with your own front panel, and uses PGS keys to manage communication between script slots.

This course was originally published in 2014. While Kontakt has evolved since then, the scripting strategies and techniques demonstrated here remain just as relevant today. The methods taught are still widely used in modern commercial libraries and provide a strong foundation for advanced Kontakt development.

If you’re ready to go beyond the basics and unlock the full potential of Kontakt’s built-in tools, this course gives you the knowledge and techniques to do just that.
