Hey Team NI.

After trying to load Knifonium via presets, it loads Fink - Singatures by Spitfire Audio.

Having checked many things, in service center, both have the same pluginid: 4b6e6966.

I'm not sure if this an error in QA for Fink - Singatures, which came out later, the Knifonium presets no longer work, due to the errror.

    @Vagus Thanks for flagging this. We'll try to reproduce the issue. I also reached out to know more about this pluginid. I'll get back at you when I get more info.

    Did anything get resolved with this? I've got the same problem.

    The Fink previews work for me, but when I load one, it loads Knifonium and I get various extremely loud squeals/hiss/general ear damaging sounds, depending on which patch I use

    I think this can likely be sorted by updating the Fink nksf to VST3 - but it's been six months- I don't think Spitfire fancy doing it (they're still releasing VST2 NKS compatibility, rather than moving to VST 3).

    NI/Plugin alliance should have sorted this already, however, there seems no rush on their end. I'll see if I can fix today.


    Edit: First issue - NKS light guide only works on VST2 for Fink Singatures. That's a terrible tech oversight from Spitfire. Let's see if there's another way around it...

    @Jeremy_NI I can confirm this issue is solved with the following actions:

    1. Backup and then delete Fink Signatures VST2 fom the current directory

    To still have Fink - Signatures show in Maschine/KK, it needs a VST3 compatible pack. I've created this, but I've contacted Spitfire Audio to ask if they mind this being shared, as this involves modifying the NKS folder in the relevant library.

    Unfortunately I don't think it's their fault - afaik light guide support isn't fully there for VST3 yet (at least for third parties)

    Is it loading the Knifonium VST2 or VST3? The PA VST3 has bugs in Komplete Kontrol but I created a fixed version that works better with the VST3, try removing the VST2 completely to force KK to load the VST3
