Hi,

Where do we begin to understand more on how to take advantage of the option for adding custom artwork that NKS 2 supports ? Does NI have any details on understanding this better ?

thnx

    NKS2 is not user editable. Yet, at least. However if you are creating a MIDI Template for something else, you can add your own artwork in a slightly roundabout way.

    There is a section on it here:

    Hi Matthew,

    Ok thank you. I’m more interested in NKS 2 , so does this mean there will be some more graphic editing options in an upcoming update inside KK for editing our templates / plugins with ? I’m a bit confused by the language.

    You can add the banner graphic that appears on the MKIII screen and higher res thumbnails just like you get with NKS2 libraries and plugins to NKS1 plugins already. Same process as with NKS1 graphics but with the addition of:

    NKS2_software_tile.webp - 264 x 198

    NKS2_hardware_banner.webp - 1280 x 212

    VB_cardview.png - 384 x 188

    VB_cardview@2x.png - 768 x 376

    OSO_logo@2x.png - 834 x 130

    VB_artwork@2x.png - 192 x 94

    LibBrowser.png - 587 x 98

    In practice I am already adding the first 2 to my templates, the others I’m not sure make much of a difference so far

    I tested this out, but the images I made don't look anything close to what Native Instruments is able to accomplish with their libraries ;) their stuff looks amazing on my s88 MK3.

    I'm taking screenshots of my synths, and then resizing them in photoshop, but they look terrible compared to NI's stuff.

    Is there a reason why all of their artwork looks so much better then the screenshots and photoshop editing/ resizing? Maybe there's a better way to do this?

    I think it just depends on your source material and choice of fonts etc
