I’ve bought the lot tonight after being emailed a 25% off code from Baby Audio which worked on the already discounted bundle! Fantastic plugins!

Wow, was a bit dissapointed to find after I bought it, that no VST3 installer was included for Mac. Hopefully it is just a matter of a build and the author can respond with an installer.

Thanks I was considering updating this for the VST3 but on Mac (maybe just Ventura and AS) there is a bug with that version where the params are out of sync with the patches between the VST2 and 3 versions and also when saving patches with the VST3.

Thanks for this. I followed the guide in the first link and the text file from Kymeia and got it mostly working.

For some reason, the background colour and the categories aren't working.

Here are the values in the color.json file:

{ "VB_bgcolor" : "09b2de" }

Here's a screenshot of where the files are:

In the browser in the Maschine software and on Maschine mk3 the background is black...

Any ideas of what I might be missing?

You should check the image folder, probably the appropriate logos are black, or not transparent.

With a transparent .png you can see the background color. Without a transparent .png, you only see the color of the .png itself ;-)

Also check if you have the correct Vendor name. I don't have the Air Flavour Pro, but for some older plugins from Air Music, the correct Vendor name is "AirMusicTech" You could find the Vendor name on the properties tab

And also, their new plugins are 'Air Music Technology' - so two different vendor names.

Might also be as simple as needing to have the folders and filenames in lowercase (which seems to be a preference, although it may not be entirely necessary)

Guy Brown

I found out what the issue was!!! A simple mistake between the US spelling of Flavor and the UK spelling of Flavour! At some point spell check must have “helped me out” 😂

Thanks everyone :)

Last question. My presets are working in the sense that they are setting all the right parameters. But they are not syncing with the presets that are selectable through the plugin. Selecting the preset via Maschine’s browser just applies the parameter changes to what ever preset was selected via the plugin at that point in time rather that change the preset within the plugin. I presume that that is just the way it is.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

Hello, i have one question for those who are familiar with scripts.

ok, we have the gulpfile.coffee for rename banks etc. however i notice that the syntax covers only NKS instruments (.nksf) and not FX (.nksfx)! Here is the relative code:

gulp.src ["src/**/*.nksf"] -in 3 different lines

so, by logic, i renamed it to gulp.src ["src/**/*.nksfx"]and i successfully fixed the effect banks.

However, i have to always rename those 3 lines, if i have to rename an instrument and then, another effect etc etc. which is annoying.

What i am asking is, if it possible to include both types in the same syntax.

i tried this one gulp.src ["src/**/*.nksf, *.nksfx"] but nothing happened, so obviously is a wrong syntax... anyone can help?

Thank you

*********************************************************

UPDATE: ok, i found it, by trial and error! Here is the correct code, i hope you find it useful 😉

gulp.src ["src/**/*.nksf", "src/**/*.nksfx"]

There's a new folder in @Kymeia's Dropbox - which has the following for now (VST3 Only):

BT Phobos VST3 update

Output Thermal

Unfiltered Audio: Lo-FI-Af

Excite Audio: Lifeline Expanse Lite

I'll have a few more going up soon, including:

Output Portal

Equator 2

Spitfire Audio: Mercury

Yes, thank you, very useful ! you are tenacious 😉

Sunborn

yes i am 😋

ok, another task that i want to investigate is the utility (a Java script) from the bitwig-nks-preview-generator (which i don't use at all, because i don't own or use Biwig and i don't care so much about previews), named gulp-nksf2fxb.

I have also no interest about it as is, but i am extremely interesting about the opposite, aka gulp-fxb2nksf!

I will try to see if i can reverse the code somehow. If anyone likes to participate in this research we may find a working solution soon! 😉

I noticed something pretty interesting to me. The Komplete Kontrol and Machine support folders have the same files in them: komplete.db3 and Plugin.data. So I thought...what if...?

Sure enough, they seem to be compatible.

I made a NKS template for the VST3 version of Generate since it doesn't migrate yet
