    Hard to see what they even look like on the website, are they for Kontakt or plugins in their own right? Do they come as VST3 and support Apple Silicon? If so it may be possible for me to work with you to show you how to do it but it depends on how complex these are. Some drum plugins are hard to map in Komplete Kontrol, there’s a reason why Battery 4 doesn’t come as a proper NKS for example, as every cell would need its own multi page mapping, it would just be unusable

    They're stand-alone AU/AAX/VST2/VST3, and so far as I know, they do have a trial mode so maybe it's possible to map even using those?

    I just bought it because I knew I'd definitely like it.

    I'd love to show you what it sounds like but since I'm not allowed to post links, if interested, check my latest instagram clip out where I have the UI in-focus.

    Insta is Onj_AndreLouis.


    I'd love to do this myself but I'm not sure I know how, or even if it's accessible to do with a screen-reader.


    Thanks for any help/advice, this community really is invaluable.

    Ah I see - does that mean you are blind or partially sighted? I will have a look to see if there is a demo when I get home from work but it does depend on whether is is doable to map, not all plugins are, especially drums can be challenging, but I like a challenge :)

    You should be able to posts links after a few more posts

    I have registered for a demo and found a video - looks like it would be pretty easy to map actually, the only question is whether I can do that with the demo, depends on the limitations

    Thanks Christos, so sorry to hear about the flooding, I hope you manage to get things back in order again soon

    Unfortunately, this is the second time in 3 years that the same thing has happened. It will take me a long time to rebuild everything from scratch, but thank you very much for your wishes!

    Hi I have installed the demo and it looks like it is possible to save as a template so I have started on that, but is it supposed to have presets because I can only see the default one? Maybe this is a demo thing?

    I'm sorry this happened to you, again. What a terrible situation.

    If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do my best.

    You're a pillar of the community so it would be nice if I can try and give something back to you.

    I have the full Reggae Drums pack installed and to my knowledge/understanding, it also just has one preset, so I think those are for the user to customise as required.

    Perhaps each library is a one-trick-pony, so hopefully not much mapping required?


    Maybe some of the other percussion libraries have more, but not sure.

    Also what limitations does the demo have? Does it only play for 15 minutes or something?

    It seems to make a noise every now and then basically

    Do you prefer the master/master mute on the first user page or the last?

    Probably last, you're less likely to mute than you are to... do whatever else you'd do. Volumes, pans, whatever else the plugin offers I guess?

    I've never had a choice of where things go, I just sort of accept whatever's offered, since I'm just grateful to have the access in the first place honestly.

    OK my pref is last too - however I thought it would make sense to group the drums sub mix with the drums and percussion sub mix with the percussion - can't see any pan controls unless they are hidden away somewhere? They seem to like doing that - for example I found some additional instruments hidden away that don't seem visible in the GUI so I added controls for them too (after the MAIN Vol/Mute as they are additional Perc and accompaniment instruments)

    Here it is - VST3 NKS template for GoranGrooves Reggae Standard - hope it's OK for you - if not I can easily change it as it's a pretty simple template
