First up is Samples from Mars (I didn't make these but am assured they work)

Here are some NI resources for Samples from Mars in case you didn't have them in the presets download.

CineTrance - NEO Series (Bass, Keys & Pads) NKS Preview sounds.zip

At CineTrance web appairs NKS ready, but are partially compatible NKS with:

No categories
No preview sounds
Buggy KK keyboard interface:
- At Browser display we can see MST_logo and presets lists (all of then .nki)
- At Plug-in display we can see Kontakt image and 8 knob mappings. All of them works using keyboard knobs, but values don't appear at KK keyboard display.
- It could be mapped more parameters using kontakt host automation (another 8 more ones).
- There are no nksf templates. As all instruments are .nki files, I think only we can create user .nksn snapshots to personalize a KK NKS template with paremeters/values, labels and pages, but I think we should have duplicated instruments at KK browser (nki and nksn), although we could create a preset bank to nksn sounds (we would then have 2 sound banks: "instruments" and the new one that we created), but It's very laborious...

Hi, I've added presets, categories, knob mappings (with labels) and new colors at lightguide into CineTrance NEO Series Pad, Bass and Keys. (Preview sounds are adapted to new presets).

Presets are nksn snapshots and are saved into a new "Presets-NKS" bank. You will see original nki instruments appear into an "instrument" bank. The snapshots improve the shortcomings of the nki instruments, so I only use the "Presets-NKS" bank, I ignore the original instruments bank.

Just copy "Presets-NKS" folder at root folder in each NEO Series instrument, KK rescan, load NEO Series instrument, select "Presets-NKS" bank and just use new snapshots.

Works on Kontakt 8.8.1 Full

8Dio 8Dioboe

NI Resources, 1 nksn preset and knob mappings.

As it's an un-official NI plugin, some things are buggy (MST_logo only appears pressing browser button, at plug-in button shows Kontakt image at KK S MK2; some parameter values don't show but work).

Dark Intervals Arctica

NI Resources, nksn preset banks, metadata and knob mappings.

Sorry, these presets only work for Kontakt 8.9+ (plugin requires full version).

NOTE: As it's an unofficial NI plugin, some features are buggy. For example, the MST_logo only appears when pressing the browser button, while the plug-in button displays the Kontakt image on the KK S MK2. Additionally, some parameter values don't show up, even though they work perfectly.
