How to get BestService Library "Celtic Era2" into Kontrol S61

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Dear cummunity,

I'm struggeling by getting the library Celtic Era 2 from Best Service to the other libraries from Native instruments, so that they will show up in the display. Best Service libraries are running with the player "Engine 2".

Can anybody help?

Tanks a lot!

I asked the reseller before I've bought the S61 MK3. And they told me that this is possible.

Then you have to ask seller for help making it happen.

As pointed out by VocalPoint then only what has NKS support will work with Komplete Kontrol,

If you take a look at e.g. Celtic Instruments then you will see that it indeed says NKS as well as it says "This product requires the free Native Instruments Kontakt Player" , but you will not see the same for the Celtic Era 2. I don't know if there is any third party NKS support for the Celtic Era 2 , again then you will have to ask seller who told you that it were available - unless it is a misunderstanding and that seller were referring to the Celtic Instruments library ?

Only NKS compliant libraries can ever appear in the actual display of an S61.

I do not believe this library meets these criteria.

Thanks! I asked the reseller before I've bought the S61 MK3. And they told me that this is possible. It is quite important for me. Is there any workaround?

Vocalpoint

The S61 MKIII (like any other S-Series controller) only interfaces with products that are fully NKS-compliant. This will happen instantly (and automatically) when any third party NKS "Partner" product is installed

I checked this specific library

Celtic ERA 2 | Best Service | bestservice.com | EN

Not only is it old and uses its own proprietary player Engine 2) - there is zero mention of any NKS connectivity.

Now - Best Service themselves - ARE an NKS Partner - but not for this specific product as far as I can tell.
