Hello!

I purchased the Komplete 15 Ultimate update and installed everything with Native Access. But the NKS for all the new Izotope plugins are missing. Since Izotope is an NKS partner and all those plugins are part of Komplete i expect NKS support.

The missing plugins are Ozone 11 Standard, VocalSynth 2 and Trash.

    Do not confuse a product being in Native Access and being NKS compliant.

    There are only one Izotope plugin that I am aware of that is NKS.

    Ozone is the only one that appears in Komplete Kontrol here.

    Very correct.

    Only Ozone Advanced actually, i'm not sure about Ozone Standard.

    You can also find user-made templates for Trash and Vinyl, here.

    Correct as well. Advanced only.

    Which actually makes zero sense given that it is a mastering plugin. Although I guess maybe it has some uses in Maschine but even there it will drive up latency

    I did make a template for Trash 2 - it’s in the NKS UL

    Yes - do not understand this either.

    Or why iZotope (being owned by NI now) - why the rest of their stuff is not NKS by now.

    If there was ever an easier target to "NKS-ify" - it has to be Izotope.

    I think very few of their plugins other than Trash and their reverbs make a lot of sense as NKS - maybe the 3 new creative fx?

    I forgot there is NKS available for Neoverb too in the UL threads

    Having Neutron as NKS would make me VERY happy. Way more useful than Ozone like ever could be.

    The standard or advanced version? I only have Neutron 4 though

    I suppose it would be usable as a channel strip but you would still lose the AI stuff it does in audio tracks

    I never use Neutron as a channel strip. The real value is in the separates.

    Using ADV over here.

    OK I still only have v4 though so probably no point in me doing a template for this unless it would still work with v5?

    Tell you what let's test this - attached a quick Neutron EQ - only 2 bands but this is just a test to see if NKS made with Neutron 4 also opens Neutron 5 - also in terms of layout I assume the global controls should be the first page or do you prefer EQ bands (which however will take up 6 pages - then leaving global stuff buried quite deep)

    I've been through the Ozone NKS to see how they approach mapping the params - really they are pretty useless tbh - for example all the Dynamic EQ maps is the gain - it's like they really couldn't be bothered but just wanted to be able to say it has NKS support

    Screenshot 2025-04-10 at 20.25.34.png

    I would as a minimum suggest you need freq, gain, Q and shape to get a decent amount of control over the curves - plus global controls like pan, width, phase invert and in/out vol

    On the other hand though, one reason I don't usually bother with graphical EQs in KK is it's so much easier just to use the mouse anyway
