There was an error rendering this rich post.

Maschine mk3, S-series midi keyboard and Komplete audio interface lying on a wooden table

Kymeia says in Oct 27, 2015 - "Since there are a number of plugin devs not on board with NKS support (yet) I thought it would be useful to share mappings for their plugins to enable controlling them in KK until (hopefully) they release official NKS ones (with presets too)."

I do the usual thing using Maschine 2 deleting all pages creating new ones, clicking learn and moving the desired knob. But I kind of remember we were restricted to 512 parameters that might be the issue. For some reason I cannot extract mapping properly with NiMBank anymore . I tried 3.0,4.0 and 4.2 . I get trace back … erro line 12* * … even had a f**k arg is wrong message 😂. Never saw that one before

That’s why I prefer to map in KK as it gives you the drop-down param list but Maschine doesn’t

With VST3 plugins I have found learn to be unreliable - sometimes it learns params that don’t stick for some reason

@Kymeia So I finished in theory my work on Vaporizer . Though there is a lot of strange things at the end of this work.

Usually NKS files are very small but at the end of it I end up with 446 presets accross 19 folders/banks. and some NKS files are huge !! I have some sitting at 126kbs but some ar 2mb, 4mb even 8,3mb. there is even one with 23,5mb !! the total NKS pack is 762 mo !!! how can that happen ?? on the contrary my ogg 24bit 192kbps preview files are not even 10kb (2 bars long previews) and sound ok .

Though why those NKS files are so huge ? I did save all one by one manually

How did I end up with almost 1gb NKS files for just one nstrument ?

Fantastic turnaround for this huge update. Much appreciated. I have ditched KK completely in favour of Ableton Packs but the database entries and preview files from your products really speed things along when a new update drops and I need to refresh Ableton Pack information.

I've very rarely seen that behaviour with some banks, not good. I think it's to do with how some developers put information in their presets that NKS needs to capture.

Yes seconded! Great update, I know how much work this takes.

Kaldosh

All right that could make sense though I never saw that before . I might delete everything and start from scratch

On the subject of Falcon I recently moved to a new faster SSD and all the UVI banks moved fine but for a few of my third party ones, specifically from Patchpool, some of the NKS I saved for them are giving me errors eg

It would be very annoying if I have to resave them all again whenever I switch drives, anyone else found a way to fix this without doing that? (yes I know I could change the drive name back perhaps but that would then affect other stuff)

Good to know that some applications/plugin/library installations even require that the drive name matches. I've just ordered a bigger SSD at Amazon (Black Friday, you know) and I was planning to do a related migration of my library content drive very soon🤔.

It does not apply for Windows. 😉

A D:\ drive (or any other letter), remains D:\ drive, no matter if you rename it or if you replace the disk.

Thanks for the hint.

Maybe mount a folder as a drive helps?

Hi there.

With the latest release from The Crow Hill Company, has anyone made NKS presets for the Attic Grand and R+D strings?

I tried to change from the piano to strings in the plug-in but cannot do so accessibly with my screen-reader, or I wouldn't bother anyone here.

I had a quick look in the VST3 portion of the dropbox for 'Crow Hill' but didn't find anything, and it seems dropbox doesn't offer a search feature, or not one I could find at any rate.

Thanks for any help.
