    I like your idea! But maybe it makes more sense to just post them here?

    And in such case, are we going to post all available banks or just the free ones?


    EDIT: I check you link. You are refering to NKS Banks releases, no matter if commercial or free. So in this case i agree, that a separate thread (NKS Banks Releases) maybe is a better idea.

    Just created a NKS conversion for the new bit crusher plugin Bitpunk (which has a very cool GUI)

    All NKS complete and in the user library under JMGSound

    In the process of sorting this now - what was the sample that didn't load properly, so I can double check that one, if you can remember?

    It was for the Aconcagua Spirits Pad 2_MPE but I uploaded the fixed patch already (it was just the usual problem of saving to NKS before the sample had fully loaded)

    Thanks!

    I've rectified that my end, because there is an entirely different folder structure coming, making it easier for people to pick and choose, based on the soundpacks they own.

    It seems with the latest KK they updated how library images are read.

    I can now see my custom image in KK's plugin view (top row). This works for sub-libraries of, UVI Workstation, Reason, Emulator X and so on.

    But NOT in Kontakt 7, anyone know if it is possible?.

    When you now import a library in the new Kontakt browser, Kontakt even organizes the NKS files according to the Kontakt nki folder structure. Pretty cool, it got solved finally.

    Shown here is Reason Parsec:

    If i understood your question, the same thing apply to Reaktor. Each ensemble (instrument) can have only 1 bank and 1 sub-bank. Usually the bank is the name of the ensemble. Sub-banks are rarely used, because of this limitation, as usually, an instrument can have many sub-banks.

    So i assume, this is the case with Kontakt too

    For custom Kontakt libraries if you import them to the browser you can create a custom image and put it in NI Resources/Image with the library name like you do with KK only you just need MST_artwork.png

    This should also work oin Kontakt 7 - it's how you have different MST_plugin images for Factory Library 2. I'll do some testing later today, but it should work in the same way as FL2 folder structure does.

    This change has been usable since 2.7 I think - I was working on HALion, and got this working- and @JesterMgee did the same in splitting on his original release.

    Yeah we had some discussion of this on the forum a while back and since then many of us have stopped feeling a need to add additional folders to get images on both screens for example - it has made things simpler

    Are you able to get the MST_plugin image to show in KK (The row with plugin images, same where the knobs are), for Komplete libraries (Plugin view on the hw)?

    Browser view on hw is fine.

    IMG_20230625_151858737_HDR.jpg

    Both pictures are plugin view.

    I'm not able to, I just get the factory Komplete 7 image. My custom json files has "Native Instruments" as vendor.

    NewsonicArts plugins are finally in public beta for VST3 so I am making NKS for each of them (except Freestyle which isn't in VST3 yet but hopefully will be soon). These are great plugins in their own right, but also integrate well with and expand the functionality of Komplete Kontrol (they were created by the original developer responsible for Kore and Maschine).

    Freestyle for example adds the ability to create multis with synths and fx and the latest beta includes Kore style morphing. Granite adds a very capable granular sampler that accepts samples dragged and dropped from the KK sample folders, and Nuance 2 and Vice 2 are also good replacements for the built in KK sampler - Nuance is a great quick sampler for creating sampled instruments from scratch, and Vice 2 is more dedicated to drum loops and loop slicing

    https://www.newsonicarts.com/bundle

    First up is Granite - this is in the NewSonicArts folder in the NKS User Library now and includes a small number of factory patches (with previews and tagging) but the real power is in dragging in your own samples. Out of all the granular instruments I have this is the most immediate and encourages exploration and experimentation - every param has its own internal modulation and automation recording so you can easily make moving and evolving sounds from a single sample.

    Here is my MST_plugin in the image/kontakt folder.

    I do have capital letters in file and folder names, but that is no longer an issue, right?

    I also forgot to add the MST_plugin first time I ran KK. Will it remember this and not look again?
