    Hello,

    I started my adventure with Kontakt 5 a week ago. I have a bunch of instruments I made in my former sampler and want to move them to Kontakt.

    In regards to mass import of instruments, there are some features that could help to do things much faster but seem to be missing in Kontakt. Please correct me if they are already available in K6 so I will consider upgrading.

    Here is what I need:

    1. Drag n drop instruments from left pane to right pane to merge instrument groups. Instead of copy-paste of groups of each instrument, I would like to simply do it by drag'n'drop.
    2. There is an option "copy current zone's loop settings" in wave editor. But I do not want it to copy loop points(which makes no sense to me), just Loop Mode. I have bunch of organ samples to import which have release stage after loop stage. It would be great if either I could copy Loop mode to all samples or make them to use "Until release" mode by default when imported.
    3. most important to me - relative value control of various parameters, when multiple groups/zones are selected. It seems to me Kontakt can set values absolutely only.

    Thank you
    Best regards
    Krzysiek

    1. Just FYI, but 3rd party sampler format import has been removed in Kontakt 6, so any feature requests related to that are moot, that part of Kontakt is not there anymore hence it won't be updated any longer.

    2. This can be done in Kontakt 6 with Creator Tools instrument editor utility, through Lua scripts.

    3. Yeah that's a pretty big one. Valid feature request, but it doesn't seem likely to happen. It's been requested throughout the years but no takers.

    3. can be done with LUA, somewhat; would be great if only there was „selected” flag within group() and zone() objects... still, if I know the value I do not want to touch, I can exclude it conditionally
