Kontakt Scripting: Level 2
About Course
Take your scripting skills further with effects, modulators, UI design, and sample mapping.
In this intermediate-level course, we build a fully scripted synth-style sample library from the ground up. You’ll learn how to create and connect UI controls, script effects and modulators, map samples efficiently using Kontakt’s auto-mapping tools, and implement both scripted and non-scripted key switching.
We’ll also cover advanced techniques like using polyphonic variables, while loops, batch loop editing, and dynamic control structures.
This course is ideal for anyone who has completed the Level 1 course or already understands basic KSP concepts like callbacks, variables, and control statements.
Originally published in 2014, this course remains fully relevant today. While Kontakt has evolved with new features like Creator Tools, the core scripting language (KSP) is mostly unchanged, meaning the techniques and principles you’ll learn here are still foundational to modern Kontakt instrument development.
By the end of this lesson, you’ll have a complete, playable instrument powered entirely by your own script, and a deeper understanding of how to control Kontakt from the inside out.

Student Ratings & Reviews
If knowledge is power – then for me, this is one of the most powerful tutorials out there. Clear and easy to follow steps for learning how to tame the wild Kontakt beast. If you’re even slightly curious what is possible “under the hood” of Kontakt with scripting, this course is a must. I’ve always resisted reading manuals and I can’t sit still for most tutorials – but I couldn’t get enough of these tutorial videos. In fact, I “binge” watched them all in one sitting.
-Originally reviewed as part of the full bundle.
But than i find David Healey’s tutorials. Starts from zero and goes up to real life projects. That’s what i needed.
