NKS Development Discussion

Changing the default location in the plugin didn't seem to help (wow, that is dumb that it doesn't fix the issue). However, you can copy all the .wav files from your samples folder into another folder and set that as a custom ir path in the plugin settings. All the copied .wav files need to be together with no subfolders. With that workaround, all the presets will load with no missing file errors. Why the developer didn't allow nested folders to be used for the samples as an option, is strange.

If any one has them, can I get the nks files for Doobie Powell’s Peculiar Sounds VST?

Tempted if they do a cross grade for the Creative bundle owners

ALL available non-official NKS works are posted on this topic. You can access the majority of them by clicking @Kymeia 's signature and about 40 more by clicking my signature. For everything else by other members you have to search for the links on this topic. Those are the free presets. You also have the option to buy presets at Freelancesoundlabs. If your request are not on any of those places then it does not exists.

Is it actually possible to make a NKS library for an external synth? I've a Roland JV80, D10 and D70 and would like to add it's presets to Maschine using NKS files. Is that a possibility? And if yes, how to accomplish that, is there some tutorial on how to make custom NKS files somewhere?

Kymeia

It’s not one I have even heard of to be honest (the Doobie Powell thing)

@Wilmar Boer Not as far as I know, but you can make templates for external synths in Maschine. But they're saved as sounds or groups, not nks presets.

There is no serious need for such thing. External Synths are controlled by MIDI. By using the midi-learn function you can assign the parameters you want to any (almost) controller you want.

However there are specific setups for Maschine or Komplete Kontrol. Here is one, search Google for more:

This is also a good guide, but for more details please ask on the Maschine Forum, not here.

@JesterMgee

Are there any Plans for doin the NKS for:

UVI - Augmented Strings

UVI - Kawai Vintage Legacy

UVI - Percussion Factory

UVI - Quadra Traveler

UVI - Mission 6

UVI - PX Guitar Syn

Big, UVI Fan here :D

I know, its a lot 🙈

JesterMgee

will work through a heap of uvi soon. Vst3 updates have me bogged down and demand is lower than ever so have to take on other work to make ends meet, less time available for NKS stuff but am working through what I can when I have time to do it.

I've had some success using plugins for librarians or editors like ctrl or midi quest. I was doing this for my Roland JV-1010. Eventually I found in software you can play all the old sounds nearly exactly, especially for digital synths like the 1010.

D16 Syntorus 2 - fully tagged NKS for the VST3 version

This concludes the D16 plugins I have at the moment - back to the Eventide H9 plugins now (and also something for PSP) - Mangledverb coming next

Kymeia

Actually forgot about Frontier - their free Adaptive Limiter which I suppose is of some value in Maschine at least

I had a look at it and it looks nice but I have several EPs already and this doesn't even appear to be physically modelled since it's an 8GB download

I'm trying to get diva vst2 on mac, to create nksf exports and having this error from Komplete Control.

"Saving file failed.

Sorry this didn't work."

I get this error when trying to convert presets to nksf.

I am following the docs..

Saving in NKS format

While the native, h2p and h2p extended options cause Zebra2 to save presets into the currently selected preset directory, .nks files go directly into the preset location used for Komplete Kontrol or Maschine, so they do not appear in Zebra2’s preset browser. To make them visible in Komplete Kontrol, open its preferences and rescan the preset locations.

Batch conversion

Right-click the [SAVE] button and set the target format to nks. Via cmd-click (Mac) or alt- click (Win), select all presets in the current folder you want to convert, then right-click any of the selected presets and choose convert to nks. The original files are not affected.
