Rigid Audio has released an update to its recent WYSIWYG Kontakt instrument creation tool. Version 2024.1.0.1 of the Kontakt GUI Maker software adds macOS support.
KGM allows anyone to design, create and develop instruments for the Kontakt sampler by Native Instruments without the need to write a single line of code. You can visually arrange control items on screen, change their properties and assign actions that do something.
Once you are ready to test your project, you can hit the compile button and watch your project inside a premade Kontakt instrument. This premade instrument has everything already set up to get the user started. There are sixteen available sample layers (groups) and all the bread-and-butter effects, modulation routings, filters and equalizers as well.
Changes in KGM v2024.1.0.1
- Added: config_kgm.txt configuration file (currenly only for setting up a default screen scaling).
- Added: The Kontakt GUI Maker window can now be scaled between 100 and 200 percent to adapt to different screen sizer.
- Added: macOS support (Apple Silicon is supported through Rosetta).
- Added: 9 new library faders and switches.
- Fixed: A few smaller UI issues.
- Fixed: Duplicating an already duplicated item did not take horizontal animations into account.
- Changed: Projects: “Show in Explorer” is now call “Show in Filesystem”.
- Changed: Project names now require at least 3 characters.
Kontakt GUI Maker is currently available for Windows 10/11 and macOS 10.15 or better and requires a full (retail) version of Native Instruments Kontakt 6.8.0 or higher.
Kontakt GUI Maker is on sale at Rigid Audio and from Plugin Boutique for the intro price of $59.99 USD until May 1st, 2024 (regular $79.99 USD).
There are no licensing-fees involved and all customers will get lifetime free updates. Owners of previous Kontakt GUI Maker versions can get the update for free.
