Thanks I've setup a new folder for Spitfire as the original one was just for the Labs plugin

Hello Community,

First of all, a big thank you for all the valuable contributions and the amazing work you’re doing here in the forum for the community!

Have you noticed that the Lightguide strip on the Komplete Kontrol keyboards is no longer supported by the VST3 version of Spitfire Audio LABS? Additionally, the number of controllers, including controller pages, has been reduced from the original seven to just one.

I’ve also found that it’s not possible to save presets with the VST2 version of LABS in Komplete Kontrol. This is particularly unfortunate because the VST2 version still provides seven pages and numerous controller assignments. However, these can no longer be customized either.

Does anyone know which software was used to create the original VST2 presets? This information would be extremely helpful and greatly appreciated.

I’m also unsure whether the cause lies within my setup. I’m using an older Komplete S88 MK2 keyboard, Komplete Kontrol software version 2.9.6, and macOS. (For your information: I’m not a fan of the 3.x version of Komplete Kontrol and prefer to stick with the older 2.9.x version. Despite its weaknesses, I’ve been accustomed to it for years and have managed well with it.)

Could the following reasons be responsible for the issues described?

1. Spitfire Audio LABS has changed its plugin architecture or structure,
2. or the requirements of the new Komplete Kontrol software or hardware exceed the capabilities of the existing NKS environment?

Perhaps someone has answers to these questions.

In any case, I’ve reworked the NKS presets that I downloaded from Kymeia’s Dropbox. I created two subfolders (VST2 and VST3) and split the presets accordingly, as the Lightguide strip is crucial for my workflow. If you’d like, you can download these presets here and decide which plugin version you prefer to use. The sound quality remains the same and is not affected by the plugin version.

Here’s the link:

Best regards and have fun with your work!
