    is it possible to alter some Kontakt's GUI elements like Metronome, Master tune and vol controls, or add more controls?

    Im not sure exactly what you´re asking, but if you talk about alter a script you can access via Kontakt I guess you can do that..... but you need to have some KSP scripting skills doing that!

    What phloopy said... it takes KSP scripting skills and you can do virtually ANYTHING.

    Prime Example:

    { BEGIN ON INIT }
    on init
    hide_inst_icon
    make_perfview
    set_ui_height_px(540) { adjust size to your needs here }
    set_ui_width_px(1005) { adjust size to your needs here }
    set_script_title("Main")

    Variations (2 GUI sizes):

    if you read the op's question, he wants to change that very top portion where you see "elements like Metronome, Master tune and vol controls". those elements are outside the multi rack, and as far as i know they cannot be changed because they are not part of the library.

    Yeah... Erm, reading is very important :cool: In that case, not that I'm aware of cause the settings are super basic and hard-coded. It's been one of the Ver5 to 6 complaints that not much has been done with the interface. But hey, you can always press "Reset" :rofl:

    Hi you can-not add more controls just change the gui how ya want,
    the png can be found inside the dll or exe of kontakt and
    you can use a few different programs to extract them then use photoshop ect to modify the png then add them back
    this is resource tuner used to show you the folder.

    I have to assume that changing the Kontakt interface is difficult, because NI hasn't changed it since the 15th century
