Native Instruments gives Kontakt 8.12 a header overhaul

Half a redesign shipped, and the rest sits in a waiting room. Native Instruments pushed Kontakt to v8.12.0, giving the Default View Instrument Header its first pass, while MIDI Input, Audio Output, and Purge wait on 8.13 or 8.14.

Those three still hang out in the Classic View header. Solo and Mute read clearer, and instrument interfaces hide or appear from the header.

On the repair front, the What's New page quits getting clipped inside Kontrol or Maschine, stray buttons stop hijacking spacebar focus, and the usage data toggle finally works. One gremlin lingers, with preset names reading wrong in the new header after a saved session reopens.

Builder gets fed as well. Komplete UI Waveform hit stable, Zones take a Group Handle over Group Indices, fades accept curve shapes like Equal Power, S Curve, Exponential, Logarithmic, or Linear, Program Handle answers to Instrument, and Komplete Script does method overloading.

Two crashes died, one from closing an instrument in Edit Mode, another from zooming out with Sample End visible. Zone and Sample APIs stop leaking into a Tool, old NGL-based GUIs fit again, and saving a user script refreshes its dropdown.
