    I agree. They may as well have just made another file name for Maschine images if need be and placed them all in in a universal folder. One folder to rule them all and in music production bind them! :D

    No nothing to do with Maschine - both KK and Mas use the same resources - the second one under the plugin name was so stuff shows also on the right hand screen but I just experimentally removed one and the images show on both screens now so I guess NI at some point addressed that but we were not aware of it :)

    So let's continue to try making these with just the one folder under vender and also without .meta files - also I think the short name.json is way outdated and doesn't cover newer products

    @Kymeia It appears the user community is the safest bet for identifying changes and fixing issues after new implementations. It was Jason over at freelance soundlabs, who enabled me to get my user NKS back into my factory tab, after NI removed the sounds.com support. I am super grateful for your support in starting this thread also, not to mention the many contributors, @Sunborn @Vagus @Mercury @Christos Adamos @JesterMgee to name a few. Thank you for the continued support.

    No problem - that's what this thread is for - many minds are better than one :)

    Now we have accumulated a huge amount of VST3 NKS templates and conversions I plan to do a reorganisation of the NKS User Library this weekend if I have time. It will mean older links no longer work but on the other hand everything will hopefully be more easy to browse - the VST3 folder is getting too big so I plan to divide it into sub categories and also relegate the older VST2 NKS banks to their own folder as well to make the VST3 more prominent.

    I'd also like to integrate the stuff people have uploaded into their own folders into one central place if that's OK with everyone? - we'll keep those folders for further uploads though.

    I noticed some changes to thumbnail/folder behavior also. Jester (Jason) will know from freelance labs.

    Maybe this below addresses it also?

    indeed a more organized structure would be much more helpful and accurate!

    (...and hopefully, this ancient Albino template will finally rest on some sub-sub-sub-folder! LOL) -just joking- :-)

    nope, this is a 3 year old post and it has to do with user samples, not NKS

    Hello Guy and welcome to our common effort! 🙂

    The DS Tantra 2 presets was already posted, here:


    Just to be on the same page, please check all previous comments and take a look what was already done, here:

    1- Kymeia's public folder (most of stuff are already there, by other authors too)

    2- My public folder

    3 - Older stuff (VST2 only) by jhorology


    Other users (Christos Adamos, Mercury, Vaggus, to name a few) has also shared an enormous amount of folders but i don't have the links at hand, you will find them in the previous comments.

    Not to take away from the community efforts but there is also a large amount available that has had a lot of work put into it over the last 8 years especially in regards to tagging and control layouts to offer convenience especially for the blind community who need a good setup:

    Unfortunately I cannot offer my time for free because I have a lot of overheads to maintain and taxes to pay and I tend to freelance on the edge and liaise with a lot of developers directly which I can't really discuss exactly who, but would not be able to cover so many instruments without the help and approval developers and the generous support of users over the years, without it it would be impossible to maintain.

    Yes the advantage of having clear and consistent layouts and tagging for visually impaired users is very important, that's one of the things NI have not done a bad job of (although there is room for improvement) but it also helps if we all tag consistently as I've often argued.
