    Hello from me too!

    Unfortunately we are in the middle of a change house process (in the countryside) and there is a problem with the internet. We expect to be fixed next week, so i can participate full time here!

    Until then, @Kymeia i think Freesoundlabs by @JesterMgee is a very important part of the NKS community, so it has to be moved to the new NKS directory, so people can easily find it! If you both agree, we can do it.

    About commercial banks we can discus it later, my idea however is to allow all commercial banks that need the original presets to work, and leave out those banks who can work without the original presets, for example, .fxp, .fxb and u-he presets (i am not aware about any other)

    Hi Yes I agree Jester and Freelancesoundlabs are a huge part of this community which is why I already added a link to them in my post on resources to find NKS info and patches and I would be fine with them having their own threads or alternatively as we are adding threads on specific developers, for example Cherry Audio, for those threads to include what they have.

    As for what is legal to share, yes generally that is the principle I use as well, good example was the NKS for Klevgrand Tomofon which I added to the UL last week (kindly shared by @TallerThanPenguins).

    Yes this is obviously a good idea. One reason I dont do most expansion libraries is because of this, only libraries that require the expansion to work, such as ones that need sample content like UVI or most Omnisphere ones.

    Things like Spire or Sylenth I am asked all the time but can't really provide them for this reason.

    So, i assume that we are ok to move the Freelance Soundlabs to the NKS User directory, right?

    One final confirmation by @Kaiwan_NI might be necessary (Kai, read the above 4 comments about commercial sound banks!) and we are good to go! :-)

    One final note, @Kymeia: Moving all comments to separate threads in the new directory is a real pain in the (you know...), so my suggestion is to delete every comment that successfully moved to a new thread. In this way, we will have a much more clear vision about what is moved and what is still remain to be moved, so we do not have to check 155 pages again and again and again...

    Tbh I’ve stopped trying to split posts, let’s keep the old thread intact but just rename it “NKS user library discussion” or something so we don’t confuse it with the new sub forum. We can just start new threads per developer or category and link to the relevant repository folder or post if necessary.

    I used Preset Magician to convert the Cyclone/TX16W fxp patches to NKS. Worked well, but you need to assure the VST2 version of the NKS migrates to VST3 plug-in.

    For everything else I run a script to do all the mouse clicks to save NKS and copy of the preset names, etc. But sometimes you cannot get to the preset name from the script, so then I have the script read preset names from a text file that I have to prepare. Each plugin needs some small modification of the script to click in the right places and adjust to the plug-in preset browser manager.

    Is this thread here where we can expect to find user posting of any new NKS files they've made? Or is it now somewhere else?

    We moved to a new directory, a sub-category exclusively for NKS, were each developer have its own discussion. Check it here and bookmark it (follow category) to get informed about every new post or update!

    There are 70 threads already. And when we finished our task, this thread will be closed and remain as an archive.

    Some things to know:

    For general discussion, research, exchange of ideas, contributions etc, you go here:

    If you have any requests, post them here:

    Guides about how to create NKS presets, here:

    All the rest are self-explanation. For specific presets you go to the appropriate discussion. For example, if you are looking for Cherry Audio presets you go to Cherry Audio NKS discussion, for Sugar Bytes presets you go to Sugar Bytes NKS discussion, etc. etc.

    Freelance Soundlabs thread (paid presets) is also there. Some tutorials too plus some other stuff.

    If there is something else that you don't understand, please ask! :-)

    @Kymeia If you want to add it to the library, I created and attachedsome OK quality images (from vendor images) for S Kontrol MK3 hardware to display for the following plugins:

    Plogue Chipsounds, Chipspeech, and Chipcrusher

    u-he Repro-1, Repro-5, Zebra

    Spectrasonics Omnisphere

    X-fer Serum

    Fabfilter Saturn 2 and Volcano 3

    Plugin Alliance BX_Obenhausen

    Plugin Alliance Unfiltered Audio Lo-Fi AF

    Just drop them in your Public Documents\NI Resources\image\ respective folders.

    I'm no artist, but I took a couple hours to download images from vendor sites & place their logo on a vendor background in the proper format. They all loaded on my MK3 just fine. Pretty happy with the result, until official ones can be offered.

    Thankyou I was thinking we should setup a sub folder in the UL for updated graphics, I'll do that

    UPDATE:

    The thread is now re-opened and renamed to "NKS Development Discussion" (to avoid confusion with the major category which is also named as NKS User Library). It was also partially cleaned, mostly from dead links (like zippyshare.com and similar), some duplicates etc.

    We can now continue our conversations, findings etc. as we used to.

    With 2 exceptions:

    1 - Please do not post NKS presets links here!
    Use their appropriate thread for that. If it doesn't exists, create it.

    2 - If you have any requests for NKS presets that does not exist yet, please post them in the NKS Requests discussion.

    Thank you :-)
