Error loading instruments in Maschine Mk3

OnPureInstinct

Hey peoples,

Excuse me if this has already been covered and I've missed it -

Trying to load certain instruments in Mk3 - can use them in DAW but Maschine keeps coming up with an error when trying to load samples in - Scarbee, Battery, Gentleman all come up as options and can see the presets but can't open.

Anyone know what goes on here?

Thanks in advance

Not all Komplete instruments (and effects) can be used in Maschine, in order for that something needs to be so called NKS compliant; in other words: supporting the NKS standard. Thing is: some of the older stuff doesn't always fully support this.

I can't verify 'Gentlemen' because I removed that because I already had a ton of piano samples within my Live packs, but I still use everything else and can confirm that Scarbee and Battery don't show up within my Maschine instrument list.

In other words: the only way to use those within Maschine is to load Kontakt, then load up those instrument(s) and then set up any presets and such manually yourself:

On the left you see an instrument list sorted by vendor, obviously NI is showing here. As you can see I have no 'Scarbee' entries. Ergo: this isn't natively supported by Maschine.

So what I did here was use the "+" icon in the middle row (between the scene display and the group display): I loaded up Kontakt, then loaded up one of my Scarbee instruments and... see above.

(edit)

As for Battery (almost forgot) the same applies: try and load up the actual VST using the '+' icon, then set up the preset you want to use manually.
