Thanks for sharing David. Very generous of you! Love your Thinkspace Education course as well!

[@EpicSoundsMaximeLuft]

A big thank you to you. Wish I had seen your videos before, however, great !

[@edwardrogersinfo]

Incredible teaching abilities. You should open a school specifically for this niche of ui design.

[@Xtant-audio]

Thanks!

Xtant Audio​ I have been working nonstop on a kontakt library since I watched this video. Still much to learn but I have one question in particular. Regardless of how cpu heavy this may be and provided the user has a decent graphics card, I would like to know if its possible to add a gif or any type of moving background as the UI skin and also the library wallpaper. Hey if I'm going to do this I might as well push as many limits as possible. -Ed 

[@Xtant-audio]

It's not possible to animate a background directly but you can use labels and a while loop to create an animation. There is some info about this on the vi-control Kontakt forum.

[@MattFay23]

Thanks for sharing, nice looking UI.

[@DamienzTheBand]

Great video, informative and on point.

[@tssf]

Thanks for these videos! They help a lot. I've been looking through your channel but I can't seem to find the follow-up to this lesson, I'm a beginner at Kontakt but would love to learn more about how to make knobs (your explanation actually taught me how to use the Knobman software a lot easier even if you didn't get too deep into it).The playlist isn't really clear about the follow up tutorials and the ones I found after essentially went into extremely complex stuff which, while appreciated, is beyond me at this point! haha. thanks again for doing these videos!

[@tssf]

Oh I should have looked at that. OK! Well thank you! It's a good series, I'm short on money right now so I can't order anything at the moment, though I am seriously interested.

[@Xtant-audio]

Hi! How do you drag the knob out of KnobMan to quicly see how it looks outside the KnobMan program? Thanx

[@Xtant-audio]

I can't remember, it's been a long time since I used it. I think you can just click on it and drag it out but I'm not sure.

[@stegrasund6541]

Was the rackmount border/background made in photoshop?

[@Numbtoall0425]

how do you insert the final work into the script

[@Xtant-audio]

This is shown in the other videos in the lesson. Check out the video description to find out more.

[@rootstudio247]

Xtant Audio Well, part 4 of your very nice GUI series appears to be missing. Where can I find it? Thanks.

[@Xtant-audio]

Check the video description for the link to the rest of the series.

[@rootstudio247]

Xtant Audio Ah yes, I missed the paid content part. Fair enough :)

[@eross21]

dry helpful videos, one question. how would do you integrate step sequencer, arpeggiator into the user interface?

[@Xtant-audio]

You'd need to add the controls to your interface script and connect them to the arp using pgs variables. Or you could just add the arp as a separate tab by making the script slot perf_view.

[@eross21]

hahah sorry I didn’t mean to say “dry” it was supposed to be “very” helpful videos. you win this round spellcheck.

[@eross21]

Xtant Audio oh maybe i am biting of more than i can chew with this one because i barely understand what your saying on that one. where is the interface scripting tab. or do i use a empty tab to start a new one?

[@Xtant-audio]

@@eross21 It's difficult to explain it properly in a KZbin comment. If you really want to get into KSP hop on VI-Control and check out the KSP scripting manual that comes with Kontakt. Basically when you open the script editor you have 5 separate tabs, each one can load a separate script and each script can be added to the front interface (as a separate tab) by setting it to be a performance view.

[@eross21]

Xtant Audio i will do that. thank you

[@Triumphinchrist1]

Is it possible to change the picture on a certain Kontakt player plugin instrument? Can you clue me in?

[@Xtant-audio]

Not as far as i'm aware
