I noticed that new NKS presets for Massive X 1.6 include additional "Morpher/Controls" page.
Any plans to update older NKS presets to this standard in existing Massive X libraries?
Same here (except M1). I don't know what else it could be, presuming you are followingthe exact same procedure as me to load (first one from the Player bank loaded via the KK/Mas browser - not directly from Mx, then any other patch, also loaded via KK/Mas browser). I was on the beta but am now using the release version same as everyone so I can't see how that would be a factor. Anyway I'm sure NI plan to update them all at some point.
It would seem that behaviour is different depending on what presets you are trying to load. As an example I've tried to load a preset from the older Mechanix Massive X expansion. If I load it from the Maschine browser, I don't get the extra morpher controls assignments.
Loading a Massive X Player new preset from the browser gives me these extra assignments:
The only way I found to get these with older Massive X presets is to open the Massive X plugin GUI after choosing a newer preset, like one from the Massive X Player library, and then go to Play view, load the preset from the old expansion from there:
I think in your case, it's different @Kymeia since you load a user preset and not a factory one?
@Tom Mosler I must admit that the behaviour is not really consistent. Will check with the Maschine team and our Synths team if improvements are planned in this regard. Thanks for the report.
There is already a way. If you load one of the new presets first, then browse to any other preset in KK and it carries over the new NKS mapping. Bit weird, not entirely sure how this was done but I guess it relates to NKS2? eg this is a patch from the new Fractal Scapes bank from Ocean Swift - I didn't need to do anything to convert or update it, just the first patch I loaded was from from the Player bank - then it gets carried over
Unfortunately in Maschine 3 it does not carry over. When switching preset from Massive X Player Library to older one from Massive X Library, I get this:
OK I just tried that and it is carrying over for me in Maschine 3 as well

Ideally they should still be updated - I suspect this indicates NI are working on a more effective way to apply such an update without literally having to redo every patch (which they also can't do for third party banks)
I have tried same way as in your recording (Maschine 3 and KK) and still failed to reproduce carry over.
Sorry I have no idea why it would be different for you? Are you on Windows? I am on Mac
I'm on Apple M3, macOS 15.5. Maschine version is 3.2.0, Komplete Kontrol 3.5.0 and Massive X is latest 1.6.0. All libraries updated.
Heya,
I have the issue that the Play panel browser does not sync with the Maschine Browser I am using, so you can be viewing two different presets as the one you are about to load. This seems very, very wrong.
@Jeremy_NI Thank you for checking it. Can you also pass on to the team what @Lionzinio reported?
I just checked and both browsers in Massive X do not follow NKS selected preset.
Here is example of selecting "Plucked Iron" NKS preset where build in browser highlights first preset in the list.
@Lionzinio @Tom Mosler Thanks for the additional report and info. I'm forwarding it to the responsible teams.
