Komplete Kontrol is now an amazing piece of rubbish

U-He says they're NKS compatible, and I'm using the recent release. https : //u-he.com/products/diva

The integration with the Mk3 seems fine, just doesn't seem to want to show up in the KK browser :shrug:

It's listed in Library -> Factory as well

That makes sense that it would only show NKS3 compliant plugins, but it would be nice if the UI made that more clear? Perhaps an option to toggle between NK3 or both NK2 and 3? It's more than just Diva though, the Strat Cello also does not appear in KK either and I think a few others. As a new user to NI instruments, it's all just been confusing and frustrating jumping between KK and K7 without understanding why these differences exist and what the differences even are. This instrument only shows up in K7, so I use K7, but now I can't use ARP or Play Assist, because that's only in KK. Very frustrating. [end rant]

Do you know where the NKS presets actually reside? To me it seems like something is not being installed in the correct directory. I checked both paths mentioned in the Diva user guide in the section "What to do if Diva doesn't show up in Komplete Kontrol / Maschine." and both looked as expected. I compared the XML to Arturia Pigments and nothing jumped out at as being radically different. There were several 100 .nksf files in /Library/Application\ Support/u-he/Diva/NKS/Diva

Everything is checked by default using the Diva 1.4.7 Installer, but that may be because it's already installed? I did install the NKS Factory Previews for Diva following the u-he instructions as well.

Well I fixed the issue. Now I'm even more confused though as I had tried this before and had manually removed every komplete kontrol related file on my MacOS and was still having issues. But for whatever reason it worked this time.

I ended up deleting my komplete.db3 files for Komplete Kontrol. I can't post the link but if you google "My KOMPLETE KONTROL Browser is Empty or Incomplete" you will find the steps

One thing I did different this time was delete the database in the Browser Data folder, so perhaps that was the issue. In the end I solved this by closing Komplete Kontrol, deleting these two files in my home directory:

~/Library/Application Support/Native Instruments/Komplete Kontrol/Browser Data/komplete.db3

~/Library/Application Support/Native Instruments/Komplete Kontrol/komplete.db3

And restarting Komplete Kontrol. Now Diva, Zebra and the Strad Cello are all showing up in KK. Thank you @Kymeia for helping with this!

The thing is, also on $10k M2 Ultra Mac Pro’s it could possibly spike. Not all users -but still a lot- encounter cpu spikes with Komplete Kontrol 3.0.0 and 3.0.1. They have to bug down the exact issue that’s causing those spikes and hopefully come up with a fix

Oh man. That sucks. Hopefully though it is a sign that they are working on a new Maschine software or an all in one solution where the Mk3 will be compatible. I can't see how they plan to shop the thing otherwise, given the amount of limitations or issues currently reported.

"I installed 3.1 last night and eventually got my 3rd party NKS stuff to load after a rescan of the library file…"

Did you mean 3.01? Because that's the one that shows up for me in Native Access. Thanks!

I didn't know they have changed KK so much, and last night I decided to update just because.

Oh boy.. what happened here? It is HORRIBLE now. I don't know exactly what is enfuriating me, but it feels slower, much harder to navigate presets, and it crashed Reaper (something that NEVER happened before).

Incredibly disappointed.

It's really garbage. The sales process only mentions compatible DWA, never non compatible DWA. Emphasizing that your software is amazing, but it forces you to restrict it. I can understand that this company is trying to prevent theft, but it doesn't prevent theft, but it protects the hearts of its supporters M32 A25 A49, as a basic model, doesn't it deserve to have a sematone transfer in the software.The functional logic of the software's tonality is puzzling, giving a logic that goes against semitone transfer centralization. It is anti human thinking and raises questions to the authorities, but it is only due to incompetence that it is naturally rejected
