Virtual Pianist - Relic

Got this on offer yesterday, and haven't seen it, so here's Virtual Pianist - Relic.

Although UJAM has Virtual Pianist as a single plugin with banks, I've separated this into an individual, so you can have the banks of the instrument as banks - far more useful, especially considering KK3 can't do sub-banks at present.

    Subcraft

    Upgraded to the full bundle, so there's a few more I'll be adding from UJAM, starting with Subcraft. Following on will be things like VD Heavy, and anything else I've not made VST3 of.

    If anyone has already done VST3 of UJAM plugins, let me know, so I don't double up!

    Ok, so a few things here:

    Usynth NKS Download

    Small discovery: You can have NKS2 colour per bank, so just like the images, NKS colour is now set per bank for Usynth. You'll also find each bank has its own NKS2 Hardware Banner image, and MST_Plugin image. I've also included updated hardware banners for their stock NKS, so it matches the rest.

    Note 1: The NKS2 hardware banners / NKS2 Colours only update correctly if you come from another instrument. Loading a preset of Usynth core when already in Usynth Caramel will not update the hardware banner, or NKS2 colour, for example, but coming from any other plugin will.

    Note 2: Add these to your Kontakt Factory 2 Library, or one of the NKS folders installed by UJAM (C:\Programdata\ on windows machines - not sure about Macs). Presets are then visibile with the main instrument, which is already a factory instrument instead of split between user library and factory.

    UJAMs NKS implementation
    They managed to mess this up entirely, or at least on my install. They've set the NKS up per brand (Fluid, Core etc) but added them as banks of the Usynth instrument, so there are folders sat there doing nothing, that won't work unless they decided to make these individual instruments. (usynth-core, usynth-deluxe etc)

    Outside of adding the "edit" button, which I can't see UJAM doing, this is basically NKS2, or as near as we'll get to it.

    Fancy graphics time.

    Yeah there is something weird with their NKS implementations. I got a copy of their Reverb for free, then an offer of a cheap upgrade to version 2 recently. Now the version 1 has functioning NKS but the version 2 doesn't. That is it does install NKS, I can see the on the harddrive, but they don't show in the KK browser. Looking in Settigs/Library/factory there is no entry for Ujam or their reverbs, not even version 1, that is weird in itself. To make matters worse I decided to uninstall version 1 since I now have 2, and the NKS files got deleted but the entries still appear in the browser, only I can't rescan an entry that is not there so there is no way to get rid of the things. I also tried adding the version 2 NKS manually but even then they don't show.

    Feel#s like they're saying "That'll do." every time. I might email them and ask if they just want to hand it off to us to do in beta.

    Subcraft, mellow, amber 2 and Cinedream are in my NKS library, linked above, and Iron 2 is in @Kymeia library. (I may have done Iron 2 NKS - not sure).

    As long as they're in your use library folder, thye will work.

    Guess which company updated Beatmaker, janked it all into a single plugin, and didn't bother with NKS?

    Template and images/dist_database will be ready tomorrow. I'll have to spend some time on this, and I wish UJAM would do better.

    Just before merging…

    Beatmaker 3.0 Templates
    Download

    This includes a single fully mapped preset for all Beatmaker editions, as welll as imagery and NKS2 colour for each edition, which is now treated as a bank within the instrument - but it still uses the imagery and colours when switching betweeen NKS presets with Konplete MK3. On the software side, MST_plugin updates as you move through the banks.

    No previews, but I thought it best to share these in case anyone else wants to help out creating the 828 presets. rather than waiting for me. I will try and get through a binch of these this weekend.

    There is an issue with the plugin on KK3.0+ SW - if you load the Vice preset from any other .nksf, KK crashes. You can load it directly.

    And for those like me that own all the Beatmaker plugins, 828 in V3 is approximately half as many presets as V2.

    Also, You're welcome, UJAM. It's not rocket science, is it.
