does anybody on ocremix(besides andrew aversa) know how to code/make sample libraries in Kontakt? because I have an Idea for a sample library.

I do, but I work for him so maybe that's not what you were looking for?

I don't think there any other Kontakt developers on OCR.

Go here instead: http://vi-control.net/community/forums/kontakt-sampling-programming-scripting.65/

You can post there and scriptors will answer.

Mike Novy's KSP book is a pretty good (and the only published) resource on Kontakt scripting:

http://www.amazon.com/KSP-Scripting-1-Mike-Novy/dp/3839150515/

I find it a pretty handy resource when I'm trying to say set up custom instruments.

Any way to check that book out and find if it's useful to me without having to spend $50.00 on it? I don't drop that kind of money on text without making sure it lives up to its hype first.

If you're interested in learning scripting, you can also read this: http://www.nilsliberg.se/ksp/scripts/tutorial/

I've got that bookmarked, but I haven't had time to do more than that with it.

ditto that.

Again, you could take advantage of free public resources (VI-Control forum and the Nils KSP guide) that I showed you.

You don't need to repeat yourself, we can simply scroll up and read it again if need be. That KSP guide looks like a starter guide (I'm not an expert on scripting so I don't really know for sure) and forums only give you bits and pieces to put together. Still needs a strong core in there, which is presumably the book.

The book is separated into three parts:

First, an introduction to KSP--assuming no background in programming--and walking you through the various types of Kontakt instrument interactions you create in the script.

Second, example applications which read like case-studies/code examples.

Third, script vocabulary reference (basically an A-Z of script commands, variables, etc.).

It's a small book--about 6" tall--so at first, I was kind of annoyed at the price, but it's hundreds of pages long, and it makes up for its small form by being a substantial reference manual.
