I have created an update for F'em that has some mapping for params (too many to map everything realistically so I stuck to macros, XYs and a few basic ones). More importantly I have updated this to the VST3 version and converted all the presets you created to VST3 as well so do I have your permission to re upload this as this is building on your work? (I always intended this forum thread to promote collaboration though)

Planning to do the same for Biotek 2 if that is OK but I need to make a new template for that first and I've already made one for Imagine VST3 so will update the presets for that too if you are OK with this

I’ve found that Tracktion plugins do support migration of presets but params are not 100% aligned between the VST2 and VST3 versions (developers are not always careful to match them up) so the VST3 NKS versions can only be used with the VST3 plugins (but the VST2 can now be deleted anyway unless needed for other hosts)

OK Imagine VST3 and Biotek 2 VST3 are done too - just waiting for the OK to upload (Imagine will still need Rosetta on Mac as it's not Apple Silicon native yet but the Tracktion plugins are)

With Eight4aWish's kind permission I have created updated NKS packs for Biotek 2, F'em and Imagine VST3 versions merging my VST3 templates with their NKS presets and previews. Imagine I had already created a pack for (that was already in the VST3 folder in the NKS User Library) but without all the NKS factory presets but Eight4aWish had generated some but without a param map template and for the VST2 version - so I used my existing VST3 template to update their presets to VST3 adding the param mapping as well.

Done the same for F'em and Biotek 2, they are all in the VST3 folder in the NKS User Library here (along with many other VST3 plugins):

So these have factory presets with mapped params, previews, basic tagging, image thumbnails (some by each of us), and database integration files.

Note these are VST3 only and will not display params properly with the VST2 (at least not the Tracktion ones). Also Imagine is not Apple Silicon Native yet so will still need Rosetta, but the Tracktion plugins are

Also if you are running Komplete Kontrol using Rosetta mode remember to delete the VST2 plugin versions otherwise it will still try and load these with the VST2 which won't work properly - the whole point of these is so the VST2 is no longer needed for use in Komplete Kontrol or Maschine

Nice to collaborate on stuff like this for the benefit of the community :) Cheers

Great! Thanks Kymeia and Eight4aWish

In case you want to put the Spitfire Audio LABS from VST3 in to your collection here are

also I would like you to know that I am now working with factory presets for Abyss, Novum, Opsix, and Wavestate just to avoid double work

Kymeia · November 2022

Thanks will do later - I don’t have Abyss but made templates you can use for Novum, Wavestate and opsix if you want

Yes. All these (except Abyss) will be converted based on your templates. Thanks

Kymeia · November 2022

Great nice to know they are being used. I have also made some presets for OPSix of my own if you want to include them

Of course! I will be happy to include these as well

Blips in the Ether.zip

Here you are - might as well share with all - just by products of months of playing with this plugin (didn't set out to create a bank)

Dang! I was hoping maybe I could make change using a database editor, but its an easy pass after what you said. BTW, that work you did on Roland is fantastic. I sent you an email, but I'll put it here: Sonic Projects OPX Pro II NKS VST 3 for mac os x. Yeah baby!

I think I’ve figured out a few things and hopefully will have some updates for libraries soon. I’ve started updating ones that already work such as all UVI libraries and will have updated library profiles for others soon to follow.
