Arturia Prophet-5 V NKS VST3 (Presets & Template)

All Factory presets but separated by bank, instead of Arturia's bad habit to put everything in a single Factory folder. As you probably know, the plugin's NKS are only VST2 compatible. It seems that we will grow a long beard before Arturia decides to make the vst2 to vst3 migration... 😛

The previews are the ones from the plugin. No NI Resources included, if you have the plugin you already have them too. My suggestion is, if you plan to use both versions, put this in the user content, but if you only use the vst3 version, just replace the originals in the Arturia folder. No need for duplicate files.

Thanks I’m sure Arturia will do but they usually take a while to get their NKS act together so it doesn’t hurt to beat them to it. If people put these in the proper Arturia folder for NKS they should show in the Factory side of KK

However if you do bear in mind they will probably get overwritten when it gets updated if you place them in the factory content location so back them up (hopefully the update may support migration anyway though)

I mean, that's pretty awesome, especially considering it's the second iteration of the thread. I love it when someone uploads something that's on my list to-do, so thanks to everyone for the collective effort.

Speaking of Arturia, I have a request. My cross-grade to Pigments 4 came with the Wave Lengths bundle, but unlike the factory presets, these don't seem to be NKS supported. Could somebody make NKS presets for these? I'd be interested in NKS files for other expansions or third party Pigments presets as well. Also, can I be added to the Dropbox?

Kymeia

Anyone can access the Dropbox to download, access is only needed for people actively creating and sharing NKS patches and conversions.

There would be problems sharing add-on banks for most plugins since these are generally paid for but sharing the NKS versions would be like giving them away, which Arturia would not appreciate. That's why we tend to stick to factory presets and occasionally free addons. Nothing to stop people making their own for private use.

I've made a template for SonicCharge Microtonic Drum Synth (VST3) - it's a very neat little drum machine to integrate into KK and Maschine:

This contains all mappings and database files - I made the thumbnails using the Dark skin which I use but feel free to roll your own. I haven't time to save all presets as NKS but I did find that if I save the first one from each categorised bank it loads up the whole bank into Microtonic so I did that for each bank as a starting point for NKS preset saving. Each has a separate bank name.

Hi, just a quick question. When I load a patch that is using the ARP in KULT, it is switched on inside of KULT (as expected) but I have to switch it off and on again for it to work. Anyone experiencing this too? (I'm on a Mac)

Thanks for everyone involved in making this NKS kit! 😀

Kymeia

Yeah but I’m not sure if it’s a bug in Kult as I’ve had this even loading presets in Kult before the patches were created and mentioned it in the thread on Kult at KvR - the arp doesn’t always initialise the first time you load the patch

Previews added now too, with advice from Christos Adamos I have finally been able to make my first batch

This is updated now to include the Multi Out version for Maschine (with a different skin used for the thumbnails to help distinguish it) and an example multi out Maschine project template. Note the skin/zoom factor is not saved with the NKS so you can choose what you like.

I've created a NKS conversion for Audiothing miniBit - a cute little Chipsynth emulation:

This has fully tagged NKS patches with previews plus a detailed mapping and database integration files so is complete

I've updated the NKS template I made earlier for Audiothing Noises (a great experimental sound design device) to include all patches, fully tagged, and previews now as well

I've updated my NKS pack for Audiothing OuterSpace Tape Delay to supporting VST2 and VST3, revamped the mapping to add some additional details and the new bank from the latest version:

And now one for Audiothing Frostbite 2 (this one just made with the VST3)
