Kontakt Tutorial: How to Make an Arpeggiator (sort of) + FREE TOY PIANO KONTAKT LIBRARY

In this video, I take some first steps towards coding my own arpeggiator script. I also show off the great arpeggiator script that comes bundled with Kontakt. Along the way, I turn some samples of a toy piano I sampled and turn them into a full-featured Kontakt library.

The Toy Piano Kontakt library I made in this video is available for free here.

At one point in the video, I reference a video about round robins that I made a while back. You can watch that here:

I also mention Big Bob’s fantastic Ultra TKT script, which is available here: https://nilsliberg.se/ksp/scripts/utkt/utkt.htm

If you’ve been enjoying these videos, remember to hit like and subscribe on YouTube.

See you next time!
