Komplete Kontrol missing 3rd party libraries

Hi Matthew,

I did the rescan.The NKS versions of uhe software are not showing up except where I had patches stored in my user area. I noticed that several 3rd party companies now appear as little tabs below the main NI window but uhe is not one of them. Not only were they there before the update but they included previews as well. If I go into my user patches I can get access to my favorite Zebra2 patches but these have no previews.

Also I thought you'd like to know the current rescan process has some bugs including rescanning many vsts multiple times.

Hi Kymeia,

When I did the rescan, Komplete Kontrol stand alone version defaulted to VST instruments, unless the instrument was only available in VST3, in which case it used the VST3 plugin. I watched the scan and all my 3rd party instruments were scanned including those NKS instruments now missing from the GUI. What's confusing me is I have a number of 3rd party NKS, all of which were working fine within Komplete Kontrol before the latest update. Those missing now include instruments from u-he and Arturia. They do appear within my user section but without previews. I'm not sure what NKS resources you're talking about but there's nothing by that name listing in Native Access.

So there's a problem with the scanning function in Komplete Kontrol. If it now only scans VST3 format, then I'll have to go and get some of my older plugins in that format. That's a pain. I use Logic Pro which is AU only and so for the longest time I was only installing that format. Of course NI installs its plugins through Native Access which automatically installs the formats it needs. The weird thing is I have Pigments in VST3 and it didn't install the NKS version of that. I'm wondering if I should remove the VST2 formatted plugins when I do another rescan so it only has one option. One more question. I've spend a lot of time building a user library of favorites which includes many from those 3rd party apps. A few hours ago I checked those and most of them are now missing. Are they stored somewhere so they'll return if I get the VST3 version?

Hi Kymeia, Thanks for being so helpful. As things stand, the only 3rd party items that are visible with in the main GUI of Komplete Kontrol 3.0.3 are libraries that make use of Kontakt 7s playback engine with one exception. For some reason, Spitfire Audio's BBC Core is available from the main GUI and that uses their own "play" engine. Plugins like Zebra 2, Pigments, Deva, Hive 2 and others are all now only available in the user area with reduced functionality. No previews for any of the u-he synths though they had previews before when they were on the main GUI before the upgrade. I've contacted NI support about this and also u-he support. Urs at u-he got back to me. He seems quite baffled by this. The only suggestion he could come up with, was to reinstall all of my u-he plugins and see if that works. I'm going to wait for the NI support response before I do that. This problem didn't exist before I used Native Access to upgrade to 3.0.3. so, at it's core, the problem is there. I did, by the way, do a plugin rescan with 3.0.3. during which I restricted the rescan to only VST3 plugin versions. It didn't help.
