[NKS] Freelance Soundlabs 3rd Party NKS Libraries for Komplete Kontrol / Maschine
For the Komplete list of now supported plugins see our page here:
Freelance SoundLabs has released/supported many NKS Libraries for many plugins over the last 7+ years for the Komplete Kontrol / Maschine software and hardware.
Thanks to your support we have managed to cover an ever growing number of instruments and will continue to add NKS support as long as users keep supporting our work.
For all the previous release information on you can visit the old forum link here:
Introduction
Komplete Kontrol \ Maschine hardware and software offers users a convenient way to browse, load and start tweaking the Komplete selection of VST instruments and a small handful of 3rd party "NKS Ready" instruments. Unfortunately there are many VSTs that will probably never be NKS compatible or will be a long way off.
Almost all libraries will work for both PC and Mac users with the following requirements:
Compatibility
- Komplete Kontrol software v2.1
- Maschine Software 2.0+
- Komplete Kontrol S Series MK1/MK2 compatible
- Komplete Kontrol A Series
- Komplete Kontrol M Series
- Maschine Studio, Micro, MK2/MK3 compatible
- Supports VST2 instruments only
- Works on PC / MAC
- Supports 64 bit installations
- You must own the actual VST and libraries, these are only NKS preset files.
A bit of a demo from a fellow user on why the NKS libraries are so useful:

Current List of NKS 3rd Plugin Support
The following is a list of NKS supported instruments tested and confirmed working. In the case of Omnisphere there is also a large list of available 3rd party expansions that have NKS support which is constantly growing which you can view on the site if you own the Omnisphere Factory NKS library or just get in touch.
All libraries are created/updated to follow the current NKS 1.5 standards with just a couple of extra custom tags I feel improve the browsing experience (such as a main Arp category due to the lack of filtering out tags).
Most libraries have both automated tagging along with extra hand tagging to add as much detail to the tag browser as possible. All libraries come with preview sound files and database/artwork files

FAQ
Please read through this FAQ section before emailing me with support assistance. In most cases, any issues you have will be because the plugin or Komplete Kontrol are not setup correctly and nothing to do with the files I offer.
Test using the Free download
A free version is offered for all plugins so you can download and test how it will work before making a payment for the full library. If you have any issues with artwork or the presets working within komplete or maschine please make sure you get this sorted before donating.
How do I install these?
There are install instructions within the zip download for PC / Mac. It simply involves copying the preset files to your "User Library" location and the artwork files to the "Database" location which is explained within the instructions. There is now also a video on our youtube channel and probably posted in this thread too.
I followed the instructions but it's not working
You have missed a step somewhere:
- Did you install the files to the correct path? Did you double check this?
- Did you make sure you have v2.1+ Komplete Kontrol / 2.0+ Maschine or later installed?
- Did you make sure you have the VST version of the plugin installed?
- Did you make sure the VST is scanned and recognised by Komplete Kontrol software?
- Did you launch the Komplete Kontrol software in Standalone Mode and allow it to scan?
- If it did not scan did you confirm the user path in the Preferences and try a manual scan?
- Is your VST up to date? I always use the latest version and some preset information could change.
Check the top of the thread for detailed troubleshooting (with pictures) or a moving pictures (video) example of the installation
Failing all that you can get in contact with me but try and include some useful information such as your versions of plugins/KK software, Operating System etc. Simply saying "I installed this and followed instructions but nothing is working" is not useful to me.
Can you change the parameter mappings to how I would like?
Possibly depending on the plugin. You need to create the mapping yourself then email me a single .nkfs file to use as your mapping template. Please make sure it is exactly how you would like and that it can be easily applied to ALL presets. Some VSTs (like Omnisphere) have different effects with different presets so having effect parameters mapped will not work over all presets. I will check your mappings before processing. A small fee may apply.
I have additional presets for a VST, can I also browse these too?
Only factory presets can be included but it may be possible for me to script these for you at an additional cost. Please PM me to find out.
I have a VST that I would love to browse, could you do this?
Let me know what the VST is and I will have a look. I can only script instruments I personally own but I have contacted some VST developers asking for assistance to make these compatible with Komplete Kontrol and some are open to sending a NFR copy for doing this so anything is worth asking. Optionally if you are keen to purchase me a copy of the software and it's possible to be scripted I will give you the presets back for free in exchange.
I have a fully working cracked version of a VST I can send you?
Please do not even think of it. I do not use any software I do not legally own a license for. I don't need to explain this further.
Does the sound preview feature work with User presets?
Yes. The latest 2.1 release of any of my NKS presets include preview files for all presets. If you find any sounds that do not have a preset file or the preset sound is silent, corrupt or doesn't sound right please let me know and I will fix this.

Issues \ Support
We have thousands of users that are happily using these NKS libraries. If you are having issues getting it working it is normally an easy fix so just post a simple message here and I (or other users) will help get you up and running. If you notice any performance issues let me know and we will try and work through them. Every system is different but based on number of downloads and number of reported issues, there are few/none that I know of.
If it does not work for you please check the following
Windows Users
Mac Users
By far the most common issue is the fact the instrument plugin is not installed as a VST or the VST.dll file is not loaded by KK/Maschine (either due to an older version of KK being used or the VST.DLL file is not located in the location the software loads plugins from).
- Do you have Komplete Kontrol 2.1+ or later installed?
- Do you have Maschine 2.0 or later installed?
- Can you load the instrument manually in: Menu > Plugins
If you have the library installed but receive the "Plugin Not Found" error then this is due to the actual plugin instrument not being available in Komplete/Maschine to load. Reasons for this:
- Is the VST version installed (you may have an AU version installed which is not compatible with NKS)
- Is the VST 64bits? (do NOT bother adding your 32bit VST folder to the preferences in KK/Maschine, 32bit is dead!)
- Is the VST.dll file located in the location KK/Maschine is looking for plugins (check KK Preferences > Plugins > User)
- Have you tried a Rescan of the plugins preferences
- Have you copied the Preset folder to the correct location? The preset files need to be copied to your KK User folder which you can easily see the path in Preferences > Library > User
- Have you opened KK in Standalone mode and done a "Rescan". In the Preferences > Library > User you will see a Rescan button.
- Are you looking in the USER library section of the KK software? The presets will be accessible from the user browser of the KK software, not the factory browser. click this button (should be lit)
Maschine is pretty much the same method. Check your preferences for the user and plugin library locations.
By default Maschine does not have the same User library path as Komplete Kontrol so if your NKS library does not appear in both, check this is valid.
Still having issues? Just reply via this thread.

Greetings!

Jester, what about Eventide plugins? It does not seem that they make them NKS ever. They did one few years ago, but none since then....
1 -
I have a coupe of effects from them, mostly focused on synths but I can look into them.
0 -
Would be great. They also provide demo for a month or so.

Often demos disable the saving of presets in the VST which is a feature I need to access. Also for maintenance and updates I need to own a copy so cannot use old/demo/cracked copies of plugins, has to be the latest. Only Eventide ones I have is Black hole, Ultra Channel and Ultra Reverb. I use the reverb one quite a bit, but personally would never use it in KK as I find effects useless within KK compared to just loaded in a track in Live, often it's in a return channel so can't be used in KK and since KK does not allow saving of instrument + effect I have just never seen the point of effects yet.
Still, for Maschine it would be useful I guess.
0 -
I see. Black hole is the only NKS by Eventide. So, Ultra Channel and Ultra Reverb.
Looks like, I will have to make the rest myself, if I want them NKS.

Good evening!
I just wanted to ask, if there are any plans for an updated UVI Vintage Vault NKS kit to VV4?
I would appreciate the NKS support (and an upgrade path from the ' Vintage Vault 2 NKS kit') 😉
Thank you as always!

Yes it is being worked on, it's always a lot of work with UVI products as there is both Falcon/Workstation versions to manage and some of the instrument interfaces are just plain terrible to navigate, they always like to have each one behave just a little different but makes some of them almost unusable because of it (thank god for NKS). I already have 2 of the instruments done since I did them from standalone versions before VV4 came out so that has me a little ahead but may take me a month or more to do the rest.

Very Good news : G-Force OB-E v2 for MAC & WIN.... can't wait you make it NKS !
