Not in this thread - start a new one. It's probably because Reaktor isn't supporting Apple Silicon yet - try in Rosetta mode

I have no intention to make NKS of the factory patches for this a) because there are too many for me to manage and tbh not all of them are worth the effort b) it's so much more fun to make great patches of your own - so I am only making NKS of the patches I have created myself - so here is an update including my WIP bank of 74 patches for Cursus Vereor - I highly recommend putting a nice modulated synth reverb after this (as it doesn't have one) to really give these some space and polish. I used Tai Chi Lite with a slightly modified version of the preset 'Golden Room' (with wet/dry 50% and slightly larger verb size) - this includes the NKS and synth patches - all NKS patches fully tagged and with previews

I don't have that plugin but your idea of custom presets is GOLD! I also do this, since always.

Basically one of the first things i also do (in almost any piece of music software) is to immediately delete most of those meaningless TONS of basses upon basses, pianos upon pianos, drum kits upon drum kits etc. etc. who all sounds the same, and just wasting disk space! ...i mean, how many pianos or basses a man really need? 😋

Having 100 options for every possible case is good, but having 10000, is not only confusing (up to frustration) but mostly, it struggles your creativity and distracts you from the real goal: to make some unique music (or at least, to having fun trying to...) 😉

Yeah for me the main reason to make NKS templates is so I can control and work with plugins like hardware. Also the whole process of breaking down a synth into functional pages is a great way to get to know how a synth works and what the priorities are for sound shaping. This is usually the first thing I do when I get a new synth as it puts me in the right place to begin to play with it and from that, if I click with it, my own presets just tend to emerge.

For me the main reason to save NKS patches is when a synth does come with some really good ones too that I want to favourite but it’s hard work to save all patches to NKS one by one when there’s so many I would never use.

Hi

It seems that the latest links for Fabfilter fx (Saturn 2, Timeless 3 and Volcano 3) are broken. Can anyone re-send them please?

Kymeia · March 2023

Just go into the user library in my sig and you will find the folders on Dropbox - I made the whole library open for browsing and download

Is it possible to make NKS presets for hardware synths? I’ve recently purchased a Modal Cobalt 8 that can also work with the Modal App VST

Kymeia · March 2023

Yes you should be able to when the hardware has a software controller that is a plugin. I made one for the Virus Ti years ago

This is the first in a series for Plugin Alliance VST3 FX. These all have an annoying problem in Komplete Kontrol and Maschine in that they all rely on the host to load their presets - but for the VST3 versions the presets don't show because neither Maschine or Komplete Kontrol can load VST3 presets. However I worked out I can transfer them from the VST2 to VST3 versions then save them with a new VST3 template. It works for all that migrate (the Lindell ones don't seem to but they don't have lots of presets anyway). This contains different versions for VST2 and VST3 so use the one you need:

First up is Black Box HG-2

Thanks for the Black Box HG NKS. Presets work for me, but params are blank. Possibly as I have vst2 and vst3 installed for most plugins, as a couple older apps still don't support v3.

Yes sorry that will happen if KK is loading the VST2 by default - like I said this is strictly VST3 only. On Apple Silicon this isn't an issue as you only have VST3 available in native mode but on Windows or Intel Mac (or Rosetta) you need to force it to load the VST3 by not having the VST2 as NKS still defaults to VST2. The only options would be to make a VST2 only version using Maschine to load the presets or just go with VST3 for this plugin.
