    I did some expansions of the new version of Vanguard, but i was not sure if it was ok to publish them, since it is a commercial product separate from the "Factory" release. Many plugins have their own preset format and without those presets the NKS not really works, so i think its ok to post them (since for someone to use them, they require the original presets). However, this is not the case for .fxp/.fxb files since the plugin recognize the NKS parameters and play correctly, even if you don't have the presets. So I decided to not post them.

    Can you advice me what are we doing in such cases? Is it ok to post stuff that exist outside of the "factory" release, or not? Thank you

    I would say if something is not Factory not to go there unless you have permission (even if it's free I try and ask) if there is a chance that the NKS version would mean the presets would fully load for someone who has not bought the add-on bank

    Well, exporting nks it's much easier work than to create a good logical template, so thank you too!

    I guess it is if you have the ability to automate the process in some way and are not doing it one at a time by hand - I've been doing that all weekend for Quanta 2 and that is slow and I get quickly bored with it but enjoy the challenge of learning a new plugin and find mapping it helps that process by making me consider how it all fits together functionally (with the reward of gaining the tactile control I prefer)

    I've never had to resort by saving presets by hand, but there have definitely been some challenges, even with Keyboard Maestro. The most challenging is when there is no way to select the name of the preset in the plugin. For that, I almost always find there is a folder somewhere that has the presets and in my macro I switch into the finder to copy the file name in sync with the rest of the NKS save. Of course if you are trying to get accurate tags, this might not prove to be enough to avoid doing it by hand.

    I've updated the Audiodamage Quanta VST3 2 template with all factory, artists and creative series presets. Deeply tagged - all by hand. The only thing missing now is previews, not in a position to make those.

    Don't worry that the preset name doesn't usually get updated by the NKS - that's just a bug in the plugin, but the patch still loads

    When i'm working in my MAC i use Keyboard Masestro too. For my windows pc's i use winautomation and Power Automate on my Win 11 (included for free in Win 11 and has the same features as winautomation)

    In rare cases when the plugin has no files to export a list in a spreadsheet, or no database to work with, i use OCR

    Tags is another story, that's why i'm starting to create a Metagrid project and some autohotkey scripts, which all together work with Maschine.

    Thanks again - yes I think Equator 2 often takes a while to properly load a patch so if you save the NKS too quickly before it is fully loaded it will only capture part of it

    Just made NKS files for the Cinematic Rooms factory presets. Tagged and set to 50% mix.

    I'm trying to make Nils' K1v (a Kawai K1 emulator) work. I have no problem making the plug-in itself work, saving presets and making the previews, but for some reason I can't get the images to work even though I can make it work for anything else.

    The synth name has an apostrophe in it (Nils' K1v), and I'm wondering if that's causing the problem. Is that possible?

    It may well be, but I seem to remember there already being a NKS conversion for that plugin - I think it was posted in the old forum but a search should locate it

    Yes, the apostrophe is the problem. Use nils k1v for folder and metadata names, and Nils K1v inside .json files

    or just download this (note: the images are from the old forum, i only fixed the names)
