[NKS] Freelance Soundlabs 3rd Party NKS Libraries for Komplete Kontrol / Maschine

Nexus 5 Update

Nexus 5 just released and is a nice functional update, I am currently unsure if current NKS is compatible but apparently the factory library has been updated so that will likely need some attention. I would think NKS would still be compatible, if projects can load Nexus 5 then NKS should also work.

I have already been asked if I will be updating things and I have N5 (yet tyo even install or check it out tho) and will be looking into updating it in the new year, checking to see if they have improved access to any further parameters for hosts (Nexus does not open much to the host for automation) and will be updating things as required but this will not be until the new year…

Other Releases / Updates

I have a huge list of libraries I have either completed or are in the works including Cherry Audio latest plugins (and Synth Stack 5 bundle), Rhodes, Updates for Babylon 2, Air Music updates and many more I have been testing out and looking into, however things are at a "feature freeze" with my current website while I work on getting the new one online.

Website Update

I am close to getting this done, time is my enemy but progress is going well. I have almost all libraries uploaded and have implemented AWS S3 storage for large libraries so downloading should be much faster and more reliable, however this will now add more overhead cost which I will have to monitor over time but should improve downloading of especially libraries over 500MB a great deal.

Accessibility has tested out to be pretty good, not perfect but hopefully I can improve things more over time but unlike the current site which is close to impossible to access in some areas, users who have helped me test things out and address some of the main problems report a pretty smooth experience all round so this is great.

Existing accounts will all be carried over IF they have libraries assigned to them (registered accounts with no libraries associated will be disregarded but can simply be registered if required). A password reset will be needed and initially accounts will not have past purchases listed but users can request a restore which I can trigger a reload. There is no simple way to otherwise import accounts tho I will be researching further, I have at least developed a scripted way to load libraries back to accounts from the previous site but this has to be done on a one-by-one basis so will be done on request which also lets me know the account and user are still active.

Any concerns, questions or suggestions while Black Friday sales are still active just let me know

Maybe just try again. The Captcha is invisible, it's reCaptcha V3 so it does not require to be clicked it just monitors mouse/key movements so occasionally if you are quick I guess it may deny an attempt. I have had about 40 password reset and login requests overnight so it's working for others, may have just been a glitch but let me know via the contact form if you have further issues and include what OS/web browser you are using.

Also, did you do a password reset first since you cannot login without completing a password reset as old passwords can't be carried over to the new site automatically due to how they are hashed.

Were you using the Login / Register page to login or the popup login modal where you click the little user icon top right?

There is the Login / Register page which is a static page suited for people using accessibility navigation and then there is a popup login that just makes it faster to login. The login page has a captcha on it that monitors both the login/register and password reset forms while the popup should have no captcha as technically for login you don't need it.

The issue with reCaptcha V3 is it can sometimes be sketchy especially with some of these WordPress plugins. I've had issues myself occasionally with it especially if you load a page and don't do enough mouse and keyboard actions for it to decide if you are human. I've lowered the threshold a little and still have the option to switch back to the older method of clickable captcha but trying to steer clear of the click puzzles where possible.

Submit a request anyway, i'll get to it. There has been quite a few which is good since I have not even updated my facebook page or mailed out users about the changes and so far, for the most part things seem to be working pretty good which is a huge relief.
