It is not displayed correctly because it is an .html, so we just see dozens of code lines :-)

Maybe you should create it as a simple text

Awesome thank you Sunborn! I'm sure we can find a sculptor who will be happy with a commission for a "Sunborn" monument, certainly a monument-inspiring handle

That's odd - for me they are clickable links (as long as you right click, open in another tab) - that's why I made it as html rather than just text

Saved as .rtf instead

(Actually yeah. I'm thinking too much like a developer and what we already have here is better. So I deleted my ideas about using github for this.)

Your ideas might be useful. Some of us we use scripts from github. However my script knowledge is just basic and i would like to expand it! There are also some very useful scripts for NKS but they are for VST2 only, so it will be a great idea if some people can help to make them VST3 compatible. :-)

An information for those of you who are owning any Vienna Symphonic Libraries (VSL):

A few days ago VSL has finally released official NKS presets for all of their...

Free Instruments;
Synchron Strings/Pianos/Percussion Series;
Synchronized Collections;
The Big Bang Orchestra.

There are surprisingly many presets available per instrument. As far as I can see, there's at least one dedicated preset available per instrument and applicable articulation type. Included is also a "default" presets for the User Library.

Library icons and sounds for pre-hearing are also included for each NKS library. The VSL presets even claim to be NKS2/MK3 compatible already, although I cannot confirm that by myself (I don't have such a keyboard yet).

NKS installations are now officially tracked (in terms of installed version and notifications in case of available updates). The installers are exclusively downloadable via the Vienna Assistant application. Check them out.

OK I don't want to sidetrack this thread, which is actually why I would suggest github. There are little errors in some of the contributions, I would like to submit "pull requests" into a unified, managed repository of community NKS, things a maintainer would verify as improvements they could then accept into the distro we all download. There would be a standard license, so I could fix someone else's mess, and my own mess (sorry to have left the word "KEYS 2" a pixel low, I fixed it myself but didn't upload it because I don't want to spam this thread with tons of minor updates) with minimal hassle.

But then again, using github is not very easy, it's a developer community and even with that technical an audience, git is still the number one product people ask for help using. So it was a great idea if everyone knew git already, but a miserable idea if we don't know git, and most musicians won't know git. So this user forum/dropbox archive approach is fine, and if I accumulate enough improvements to my contributions to be worth re-uploading I will do so here. Thanks again for all you do!

@JesterMgee:

I just bought your Noctua presets. Great stuff like always.

Just one heads-up:

In the download section on your homepage, the related download button for Noctua is currently placed under the product "UVI PX Guitar SynNKS Library". I guess this will need to be fixed.

I still have VST2 installed also so these load as default (as opposed to VST3), however the sounds seem to load when going through presets, which they didn't previously. I need to experiment some more but it seems more responsive. I have noticed some of the presets load with a different screen size leaving part of the screen blank. This maybe to do with the fact I am still on KK 2.9.6 software and/or they were saved using a different screen resolution. The second image is an example of how it should look.

I think is non of the above, but the Twin 3 size. I use Large size with 125% scaling. It is very ok for screen resolutions 1920x1080 and higher (but not too higher). What is your screen resolution?

or maybe your older KK version... in version 3.1.2 it loads great!

Diam · February 16

Yeah, my screen res is 1920x1080 and I use KK version 2.9.6. No worries tho as Im sure I can work out how to resave the ones that don't scale properly. Thanks for the work and upload.

Thanks, Fixed.

Here's a preliminary template for u-he Zebralette 3 - it's still in beta so I am sure things may need changing and it has no presets yet anyway but this is great for hands-on operation.
