Video: So what *is* the Kontakt 6 GUI designer?
In this video, we check out the Kontakt 6 GUI Designer – a tool that comes bundled with Kontakt 6. The GUI Designer allows instrument creators to predefine their UI control layouts in advance so that they don’t need to set them up manually within their instrument scripts.

We’ve made a Kontakt Piano Template: Just add samples
We’ve created a Kontakt template that should be perfect for people trying to build piano instruments in Kontakt. The basic idea behind the template is that it it should allow you to build a piano instrument in Kontakt 5/6 without doing much scripting. Check it out!
Download the template here: https://github.com/dhilowitz/kontakt-piano-template/releases/latest

Video: Getting Started with Ableton Sampler
In this video, we explore the power and simplicity of Ableton Live’s built-in Sampler instrument. In the process, we take the Box Violin sample we released two weeks ago and create an Ableton Sampler version of it.
