'''Notes'''

~~The~~ Kontakt sampler system offers a simple microtuning script for re-tuning 12-~~note scales~~. [~~briefly describe~~ how to ~~use it~~.~~] For more~~ complex ~~scales~~ in Kontakt, ~~see this~~ [[User:Mousemambo/Guide to tuning the Kontakt sampler system|Guide to tuning the Kontakt sampler system]].

'''''Direct tuning in Kontakt'''''

* If you are using a Kontakt sampler system instrument that is not locked, and whose operation will not be disrupted by the needed script changes (e.g. like some legato patches), there are two easy methods that may work to create certain tunings in Kontakt. Note that as of August 2023 the Kontakt 7 Factory library is locked, although the Kontakt 6 Factory library was is/was not.

* Kontakt offers a simple microtuning script for re-tuning 12-notes per octave tunings. [Find an online illustration.] In brief: Wrench > Script editor > Preset > Factory > Tuning > Microtuning > Adjust each slider.

* You can also quickly set an [[EDO]] of any size, as illustrated in this [https://chrisvaisvil.com/how-to-adjust-kontakt-4-instruments-to-any-edo/ page by Chris Vaisvil]. In brief: Wrench > Script editor > Preset > Factory > Tuning > Notes per Octave > Notes. More complex tunings in Kontakt require a custom script, as described in the [[User:Mousemambo/Guide to tuning the Kontakt sampler system|Guide to tuning the Kontakt sampler system]]. Unfortunately, Kontakt does not offer easy custom keyboard mapping for your custom EDO -- [https://sevish.com/2017/mapping-microtonal-scales-keyboard-scala/ linear keyboard mapping] will apply.

===Method 2: Set a tuning using a Scala scale file and keyboard mapping file===
