I have many Arturia instruments.... sadly only 4 show up in the KK browser... I have tried many solutions... all have failed. I love these instruments but never use them because my go to sample player is KK... any ideas?

    It looks like the NKS patches are not installed, I presume the plugins themselves are working? Which format have you installed, VST2 or 3?It's possibly this, I have posted this several times - the Arturia Software Centre has a 'silent install' option that uses whatever install options were set the first time the installers ran. The problem is if you didn't select to install third party content (such as NKS) that time, it then keeps just installing the plugins but not the NKS patches. So what you need to do is go into ASC options and deselect the silent install option, then close and reopen ASC and run just one installer. It should then give you setup options in the installer again and make sure you select third part/NKS. Let that install run. After that you can go back to silent installs if you want to avoid having to go through setup every time but it should now install the NKS patches

    Like Kymeia suggests then it is most likely a format or installation problem.

    But I will give you these standard troubleshooting links .

    I myself , on Windows have 33 Arturia plug-ins in the KK browser (from having the V Colletion 9) :

    The reinitialise database thing NI suggest often causes more problems than it solves in my experience, especially if you also delete the favourites database which is silly advice tbh

    Thank you ! , I didn't know that it would remove the N.I. favorites and never thought of it since I haven't enough favorites in N.I. programs to know how to back up the N.I. favorites that you mention - if one can.

    But I do know that despite that the back-up of favorites is lacking as feature in Arturia Analog Lab V & Pigments then the Arturia favorites are easily backed-up by copying the content of the folder : \Arturia\Presets\FactoryEdit

    P.S.

    Also , this copy of an internet forum conversation for you (Source) :

    Arturia V Collection 9 - adding NKS files after initial install

    I installed V collection 9 on my Windows PC but opted out of the NKS integration for everything. Now I'm thinking of getting a Komplete Kontrol keyboard and would love to have NKS integration for all the Arturia instruments. How should I go about adding NKS? Will I need to re-install the V collection?

    Yes you'll must reinstall V Collection 9, because NKS resources are not provided separately.

    Will I have to uninstall the existing version first?

    I did this, you can uncheck everything except NKS when you run the installer again. You do not have to uninstall.

    Not necessary to uninstall first, simply reinstall over, don't forget to check NKS checkbox


    Also , another forum member have made "Arturia Analog Lab 5 NKS Library for Komplete Kontrol" , probably a bother to install and not free however there is a free demo version also , but here you go : https://freelancesoundlabs.com/index.php/downloads/komplete-kontrol-vst-packs/itemlist/category/127-arturia

    This is all such great info… thanks folks. There is no way I would discover this on my own.

    It's no bother to install at all, it's pretty easy and of course you can contact me should you hit any issues but opens the only part Arturia did not make NKS and makes it browsable in the same way.
