NKS Development Discussion

Added the rest of my Massive previews including 5 more sets of previews for some 'The Unfinished' banks - these are in addition to the Unfinished previews shared by s_aizawa above

FM8 next - then Absynth 5

Thanks I don’t have that but did consider it - at the time I felt it did not offer much I could not get from Replika XT and Silo but maybe I was wrong?

For those of you who are using gulp to rename and tag banks: I don't know if someone else did it before, but i discovered that the gulp script can be modified in numerous ways to speed things up!

Here is an example of 10 simultaneous folders, with various combinations of products, banks and sub-banks (i have test it to up to 25 folders and it is perfectly working, but lets stay on 10 for now):

gulp.task 'rewrite', ->
  gulp.src ["src/**/*.nksf", "src/**/*.nksfx"]
    .pipe rewrite
      bankchain: ['Zebra2', 'Trance Euphoria', 'Future Trance Anthems']
    .pipe gulp.dest 'dist'
  gulp.src ["src1/**/*.nksf", "src1/**/*.nksfx"]
    .pipe rewrite
      bankchain: ['Zebra2', 'Trance TechnoSoundbanks', 'Monsterpack']
    .pipe gulp.dest 'dist'
  gulp.src ["src2/**/*.nksf", "src2/**/*.nksfx"]
    .pipe rewrite
      bankchain: ['Zebra2', 'Triple Spiral Audio', 'Beyond Dreams']
    .pipe gulp.dest 'dist'
  gulp.src ["src3/**/*.nksf", "src3/**/*.nksfx"]
    .pipe rewrite
      bankchain: ['Zebra2', 'Triple Spiral Audio', 'Black']
    .pipe gulp.dest 'dist'
  gulp.src ["src4/**/*.nksf", "src4/**/*.nksfx"]
    .pipe rewrite
      bankchain: ['Zebra2', 'Triple Spiral Audio', 'White']
    .pipe gulp.dest 'dist'
  gulp.src ["src5/**/*.nksf", "src5/**/*.nksfx"]
    .pipe rewrite
      bankchain: ['Sylenth1', 'Revealed', 'Bass Vol. 1']
    .pipe gulp.dest 'dist'
  gulp.src ["src6/**/*.nksf", "src6/**/*.nksfx"]
    .pipe rewrite
      bankchain: ['Sylenth1', 'Revealed', 'Bass Vol. 2']
    .pipe gulp.dest 'dist'
  gulp.src ["src7/**/*.nksf", "src7/**/*.nksfx"]
    .pipe rewrite
      bankchain: ['Sylenth1', 'Psylenth', 'Forest']
    .pipe gulp.dest 'dist'
  gulp.src ["src8/**/*.nksf", "src8/**/*.nksfx"]
    .pipe rewrite
      bankchain: ['Dune3', 'Starmap', '']
    .pipe gulp.dest 'dist'
  gulp.src ["src9/**/*.nksf", "src9/**/*.nksfx"]
    .pipe rewrite
      bankchain: ['Dune3', 'Paradox', '']
    .pipe gulp.dest 'dist'

You have to make 10 folders (or, as many you like, as long as you expand the script too) named src1, src2, src3 etc. and on each folder you add a bank (even from different vendors and products, with sub-banks or not), but you keep only one dist folder. Everything goes there, with much less copy-paste bank by bank!

I hope it will be helpful to some of you 😉
