    https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/ivory3

    Synthogy Ivory 3 VST now has NKS compatibility allowing browsing and full control over the American Concert D and German D piano models.

    Each preset has detailed controller mapping, sound preview as well as library database and artwork files to integrate Ivory 3 into your NKS library.

    Note this supports Ivory 3 only, Ivory II is not supported but I may be able to look into adding support if there is interest.

    Upgrade Available: CubicAudio 1.6 NKS Library (formerly WA Production)

    https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/ascension

    Updated library for Ascension 1.6 which includes 500+ new presets and updates all artwork/database files and associations for the latest version of Ascension.

    For those that may not be aware, while Ascension was always developed by CubicAudio it was distributed by WA Production via Plugin Boutique up until v1.5 where it has now been discontinued due to CubicAudio taking on all development and distribution. v1.6 is available from CubicAudio if you have an existing serial from WA Production or Plugin Boutique however previous projects and NKS libraries do not work with the new 1.6 version requiring updates to switch out the previous WA Production version.

    This new library has been updated to now support the latest 1.6 version along with all the previously available WA Production expansion libraries. You can upgrade your old library via the posted page, all expansion content is updated for free.

    Library is all fully tagged, updated artwork and database files, sound previews and full controller map.

    Now Available: D16 Nithonat 2 NKS Library

    image.png

    https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/nithonat

    NKS compatible library now available for D16 Nithonat 2 supporting VST3 compatibility and a completely new template and preset selection since Nithonat 2 is basically a completely different plugin. All presets for kits and scenes are fully browsable by Komplete Kontrol and Maschine with tagging, sound previews and updated artwork now supporting the MK3 keyboard

    You will find Banks to select the Kits and Scene presets. Kits are not set to play the internal sequencer while Scenes will load up with the internal sequencer active ready to sync with your DAW.

    All presets have been configured to allow for Multi-Channel playback if desired with the following channel configuration:

    Output 1 = Main Output (Stereo Mix)
    Output 2 = Bass Drum
    Output 3 = Snare
    Output 4 = Toms
    Output 5 = Hi Hat
    Output 6 = Cymbal
    Output 7 = Triggers
    Output 8 = Bus 1
    Output 9 = Bus 2

    Parameters in Nithonat 2 have to be enabled for “Host Automation” to be used in Komplete Kontrol or a DAW. This has been pre-configured for all available controls and most of the controls have been programmed for NKS control. If a critical parameter was not included in the mapping, just let me know so I can review it for a future update (if it doesn't require adding a dozen more pages).

    Refer to the PDF for a full controller reference list.

    Now Available: BFD Drums BFD3 NKS Library

    image.png

    https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/bfd3

    This library offers browsing and control of all the factory kits and presets for BFD3 with both stereo and multi-channel loading options. Presets of all kits load up without sequencing to host allowing design of droms within the DAW while presets load up with the host sync engaged to allow the internal sequencer to run so drum patterns can be designed within BFD.

    Banks allow selection of either Kits or Presets using either Stereo or Multi-Channel output. If you wish to mix drums in separate channels of your DAW choose the Multi-Channel option and then rout the audio outputs from BFD3 to tracks in your DAW.

    image.png

    https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/yellowjacket

    Yellowjacket NKS Library for Komplete Kontrol / Maschine contains presets in NKS compatible format for all factory content that comes with the Yellowjacket synth.

    Now Available: Korg multi/poly native NKS Library

    image.png

    https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/multipoly

    This library offers full browsing and control of all presets included with the Korg multi/poly VST instrument from Komplete Kontrol and Maschine software/hardware. All presets have been fully tagged with sound previews, artwork files.

    A detailed 21 page controller map offers a good deal of control with basic control of all layers and some more in-depth control of layers A/B, however this synth has thousands of parameters making it a challenge to create an in-depth template so further updates will happen when I gather some feedback from users as to the best design. It is easy to have this thing over-bloated with controls like Omnisphere so it's important to know how people will use it since it is not a typical synth design so expect some updates for this over time.

    Now Available: Sonic Academy Kick 3 NKS Library

    image.png

    https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/kick3

    NKS compatibility library is now available for Kick 3. This library release contains all Factory and Free DLC presets in NKS format with tagging, sound previews and database/artwork files ready to drop straight into your Maschine or Komplete Kontrol browser and start browsing!

    The controller template for presets allow control and adjustment of all 5 layers, main controls and macro control of each preset as well as basic adjustments of FX enable and level controls, EQ and FX assignments.

    Due to the modular nature of the effects slots it is not realistic to make control pages for all effects in each slot as this would require over 60 pages alone so basic FX Enable, level and slot assign controls have been added. 

    If you feel there are any improvements to the controller mapping that can be made please feel free to Contact Me to offer your suggestions

    Yeah, mac unzipper kind of sux. For some reason some archives dont unzip with the default archiver, I have a feeling it's a character encoding issue or something because it is only ever the default mac zip tool that has issues.

    Try download an app from the app store called "The Unarchiver" which seems to work on everything I throw at it.

    EDIT: I see you are using that utility, hmm, not sure on the issue. it's after 11pm here so too late for me to look into it now, will have to dust my mac off and test it out and see which character in a filename it doesnt like…

    EDIT2: Well, looks like the website has an issue with the downloads of the free versions, likely an issue of the updated PHP I did today. Ugh….

    Ok, I think I may have fixed it, I really hate wordpress sometimes.

    Piece of duct tape fell off one of the plugins when I did some updates and seems one of the 10 different delivery methods for serving the files doesn't work. I've switched to a different file server method so try download it now and see if it works. Basically ALL of the demo downloads were broken

    Thanks. I still got the same error message after refreshing/downloading again, but this time it unzipped so 🤷‍♂️

    At the moment, no idea but will look a little deeper… always has to be macOS that decides to have a problem with anything in the world…

    Fix for Ascension 1.6 Mac Compatibility

    image.png

    https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/ascension

    Mac users who updated their library for the 1.6 may have found the plugin does not launch. This is due to an issue with the Ascension plugin having a different Plugin ID on Mac and PC so NKS (and any DAW project even using Ascension) will not migrate between mac and pc.

    This has been fixed and a separate Mac/PC library is now included. If you updated your libraries or expansion libraries on mac and found it could not load the plugin, download the new package from your account and you will now find a Mac specific archive, just replace the existing NKS files and this should fix the issue (no need to replace the image/database files)
