KSP: user-defined function

User-defined functions are absolutely vital when trying to write maintainable and modular code following the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) design principle. Therefore I suggest extending the syntax to allow for user-defined functions. Although I have provided a layer of extended KSP syntax in my script editor/compiler as a workaround for K2's current limitations it suffers from some problems:

• On compilation the code size unnecessarily increases in some cases (since I have no option but to inline all functions) which causes problems for large scripts due to Kontakt's internal editor not being able to cope with large texts. This Kontakt problem/bug effectively places an upper bound on the size of a script which is a serious problem.
• It does not support return values.

Here is an example of what the syntax could look like:

Code:

function calculate($a, $b)
    { ... calculations/processing ... }
    return $result
end function
