Just bought K14 CE - any way to install *only* Expansions?

** I am a DUMMY. I didn't realise there was an Access 2. So that answers that.

Hey all. As in the title, I just nabbed the K14 Collector's Edition upgrade for BF because I was dangerously close to dropping $300 on Teenage Engineering's newest toy (a cross between an MPC and a calculator) and then I realised, Maschine Mk3 is still amazing and I work at my desk 99% of the time AND already own an iPad for on the go so. Anyway...

Mostly bought K14 for the expansions, but there's no way to filter them out as a product type. And nothing to discern them from Kontakt libraries, Massive Expansions, plugins, etc.

Is there a secret to this or do I have to just go through the Expansions category on the What's Included page and find/install one by one in Access?

Ok so you answered it yourself, the new native access 2 has the function you need.

I had to go and see if this was real...what a strange company. Clearly capable of designing cool, useful things. Sometimes even affordably priced. And then THIS. And the OP1 Field. Insanity.

Low-key do still want the KO II though lol

Just curious as to why you want this KO II? What does it do?. I know Teenage engineering makes ok products, but they are infamous for having issues on first run/batch. Been hearing issues already with faders. The one thing that does look cool is the vintage style keys with tactility, pressure sensitivity.

I’m gonna be totally honest with you…the aesthetics got me haha. I love that kind of 70s sci-fi gadget look. But for less shallow reasons, it seems like a fairly capable gadget. I like the performance FX, the sounds seem decent and I like some of the demos I’ve heard from it.

All of that said, my iPad Pro 3rd gen with a MIDI controller is simply unbeatable. And when I’m at my desk Maschine scratches the same itch. I’m loving all the packs in K14 Collector’s. Was up all night with them.

*Also yeah I’ve heard about the fader drama! Too tight to fit and people are bending internal components in the process or something? Ouch.

What the heck... They are using cherry switches or something similar (mostly only used in mechanical keyboards) https://www.cherrymx.de/en/cherry-mx/mx-low-profile/mx-low-profile-red.html

I never saw a cherry switch with an added layer of pressure sensitivity, that's actually very interesting... hummmm

The graphite sheet only being on the bottom is odd, those switches are def not designed to distribute pressure evenly so I reckon the upper part of the 'keycap' would be less sensitive.
