Gtak6 Basics
We have set sensible defaults for all the instruments in
the Kontakt6 Library, so often you will not need to make
any changes. If, for example, you want to play different
instruments on different strings or use pedal control you
have to make settings on the Gtak6 Panel.
If you want to do more advanced things such as config-
ure a guitar in a non-standard tuning, transpose strings,
or change various other settings you will use the Config
Panel which is described
.
4.1
The Gtak6 panel
Gtak6 is a KSP script with a
Performance View
, this
means that its controls appear in the instrument header
(unless the instrument is minimized). Each Kontakt6 in-
strument can contain up to 5 KSP scripts. If more than
one script has a
Performance View
then tabs will ap-
pear at the bottom of the instrument to allow you to select
which script’s panel to show.
In this case, to switch from another panel to Gtak6’s panel
click on the
Gtak6
tab as shown below.
We have modified many of the other KSP
scripts in the Kontakt6 Library to make every-
thing work properly. These scripts have been
renamed
