Download link: Madrona Labs NKS presets
Plugins included:
Aaltoverb
SUMU
templates for Aalto and Kaivo are available in the legacy section as they are still VST2 plugins
There are templates for both Aalto and Kaivo as well but they are not yet out in VST3 so are in the legacy section here:

I've added a template for Sumu, their new additive modular instrument, which is rather awesome
It is still in early access beta, and some features are not yet working, so no point in saving NKS presets yet, so this is a template only, meant for hands-on for control, as more things will probably need to be added for the release version
It's in the folder in the first post
This instrument looks amazing!
It is if you appreciate abstract, often dissonant music (which I do)
Final version is released now so I'll update the template - I left some space for the functions I knew were coming
EDIT no point there is a bug that makes it not play in KK!
I've updated the template for Sumu to the release version - however Sumu is buggy in KK and Maschine unfortunately and tends to stop making a sound if you switch patches. However it runs from the init so is usable if making your own sounds
Anyone with Bitwig can use the Bitwig Device Panel I made for it (similar layout to the NKS template), it works great in Bitwig so right now that is what I'm using to control it:

Actually there is a sort of workaround which is if you save the patches as NKS patches for some reason those don't cut out the sound - very odd
Added full factory patches saved as NKS - that sort of fixes the preset problem but I can't save previews as the bug means most previews come out silent (unless I do them one by one which is tedious)
I had a go at trying to render previews singly but even then they cut out or only record one channel for some
Looks like the AU is not buggy in Maschine but it would mean having to resave all NKS again just to generate the previews which I can't be bothered to do - better to wait till it is fixed
Sumu 1.1 is out which fixes a lot of bugs and adds some important improvements including MPE and Poly aftertouch support - you need to enable this in MIDI settings but I have found that poly aftertouch and MPE only work if they are also enabled in a MPE supporting host like Bitwig - so they do not work in the KK standalone - only if you load Sumu in the KK plugin and enable MPE mode for that in the host (this is a bit weird as it looks like Poly AT ONLY works in MPE mode).
I have updated the template and also finally managed to add previews (which took a lot of time as they needed to be generated one by one) so this is complete now

Hi - I have noticed an old post hinting towards the nks data pack for aalto. Has anybody still got access to it? thanks
There is a template I made in the legacy section of the NKS User Library as it is VST2 - I have also converted the 3 banks I made for Aalto (which I can post later) but I don't think anyone has done the factory patches. Was really waiting for an update to add VST3 and Apple Silicon support. Madrona say Aalto 2 is in beta so might be best to wait for that
OK here are my 3 Aalto banks in NKS format and Aalto format - I really prefer to make my own presets so am not always motivated to create NKS for factory presets I mostly don't use (Zebra 3 being an exception - the factory library for that is astonishing!)

thank you very much
Of course you are welcome to use my template to save them yourself (or just your favourites) - that's what I made it for
