Hi

It seems that the latest links for Fabfilter fx (Saturn 2, Timeless 3 and Volcano 3) are broken. Can anyone re-send them please?

Just go into the user library in my sig and you will find the folders on Dropbox - I made the whole library open for browsing and download

Is it possible to make NKS presets for hardware synths? I’ve recently purchased a Modal Cobalt 8 that can also work with the Modal App VST

Kymeia

Yes you should be able to when the hardware has a software controller that is a plugin. I made one for the Virus Ti years ago

This is the first in a series for Plugin Alliance VST3 FX. These all have an annoying problem in Komplete Kontrol and Maschine in that they all rely on the host to load their presets - but for the VST3 versions the presets don't show because neither Maschine or Komplete Kontrol can load VST3 presets. However I worked out I can transfer them from the VST2 to VST3 versions then save them with a new VST3 template. It works for all that migrate (the Lindell ones don't seem to but they don't have lots of presets anyway). This contains different versions for VST2 and VST3 so use the one you need:

First up is Black Box HG-2

Thanks for the Black Box HG NKS. Presets work for me, but params are blank. Possibly as I have vst2 and vst3 installed for most plugins, as a couple older apps still don't support v3.

Yes sorry that will happen if KK is loading the VST2 by default - like I said this is strictly VST3 only. On Apple Silicon this isn't an issue as you only have VST3 available in native mode but on Windows or Intel Mac (or Rosetta) you need to force it to load the VST3 by not having the VST2 as NKS still defaults to VST2. The only options would be to make a VST2 only version using Maschine to load the presets or just go with VST3 for this plugin.

Kymeia

Actually since it's such a simple template I made the VST2 too :) This has both versions in:

Diam

Thats the ticket. VST2 worked a treat.

Thanks buddy.

When the hardware does not have a plugin, I've done this two ways from what I recall:

and

That is good news thanks - guess I'd better see if the update has affected anything my end

Hi all. Not sure if this is the right thread to ask this question but does anyone know if the Arturia FX collection is NKS ready on Apple Silicon running Logic Pro? My V collection works fine but the FX collection does not. Many thanks!

Under Rosetta Mode you can use them in Logic via Maschine. I think they are not M1 ready yet.
