There was an error rendering this rich post.

Maschine mk3, S-series midi keyboard and Komplete audio interface lying on a wooden table

Kymeia says in Oct 27, 2015 - "Since there are a number of plugin devs not on board with NKS support (yet) I thought it would be useful to share mappings for their plugins to enable controlling them in KK until (hopefully) they release official NKS ones (with presets too)."

That's great, I'll install once you have it complete. Will you make a single DL?

Hi, has anyone made the NKS files for the Moogerfooger VST's? Many thanks

Kymeia

Not yet - they are on my Radar. The only thing is they sound best when combined and using the CV so they interact

Updated a NKS I made a long time ago for Melda MPowersynth

Unfortunately this doesn't migrate so I had to remake it from scratch for the VST3 - but I've kept the old VST2 template in the ZIP as well. This is just template and resources - too many presets to convert them all but tbh too many are not very good anyway (the result of randomised preset generation I think). Make your own! Also I can only map the Macros, OSCS and filters - much of the interface is graphical and not controllable.

OK here is the Largo factory NKS fully tagged and with previews - maybe it's just on my system but I found Waldorf had not actually tagged or created a separate bank for factory patches so these are all done from scratch with new previews as well as I couldn't find the original previews (think they are mixed up in the old previews library by NI)

I'm not planning to do the add-on banks unless there is one people particularly like (or see this as I've given you the tools to do it yourselves) - I thought about doing the same for Waldorf Nave but it has nearly a 1000 presets! - too many for me - but maybe PPGWave factory bank when I get round to it.

Also I have fixed a lot of Softube stuff I have (the ones that come as NKS already) and will post those shortly, and am working on a template for Soundmorph Dust (synth is done but not fx version yet)

What is the status for Spire 1.5.15. (latest VST3):

Stable in KK/Maschine?

Migration of NKS from VST2 to VST3?

JesterMgee

I never had VST2 for it but I do now have VST3 and it is fine for me, the only things to note whihc have always been the case is the GUI size and selected template are (stupidly) stored within the preset data so the size/template I used to make the NKS files (which is default) is what is recalled. I may look at generating several versions of the library with a few different size/template selections but I also suggested to the dev to make this setting a plugin setting, not a preset setting and they said they would consider this as an option.

Thanks. Looks like I managed to glitch delete my Spire VST3 question 😂

Very well done! 👍️

I noticed only one mistake, one of my archives is in wrong directory, the Xfer Records LFOTool.zip. It is VST2 only and does not migrate either. You have it in the Current VST3 folder. :-)

Kymeia

btw in doing this I realised we still don't have NKS for Fabfilter Twin 3 VST3, only the VST2 version, so I will do those next now it appears to be more stable (unless I missed some?)

LOL... it seems that we all waited the same thing! 😂

Kymeia

Added Bazille and Triplecheese templates too - these can all be used to save presets with now

This isn't working out, the ARP patches still do not play back correctly for me.

Sunborn

One bug that should be fixed (it's easy for anyone to do it but it would be better to exists corrected on the common NKS library).

On @Mercury's folder Cherry Audio Mercury-6.

In NI Resources\dist_database\cherry audio\mercury-6\ the categories.json, has "Product" : "Mercury-4" instead of "Product" : "Mercury-6", thus the instrument appears in category "Others" instead of "Synthesizers".

Thanks, that is great. I could not see a folder for The Usual Suspects maps in the repository. May be an idea for anybody who may want to do additional work on banks and/or previews moving forward.
