A "Merry Christmas treat", something i was looking to fix for a while! 🎅
Original work on presets and previews, by @Xavier
According to his comment here (https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/comment/7426/#Comment_7426) -the "lost" comment, if you remember- he was unable to create bank names, tags, types etc. So this is what i did. I fixed them, added the correct bank names to all, added types and characteristics, i also renamed them to remove the unnecessary bank names from files and previews and i changed the color.json so that the background color match the color of the image.
I also created a 33 page Template from the VST3 Version, because his base template was really poor (only 10 pages, most of them half empty) and the default template is rather confusing and senseless, imo...
However i still don't know how to replace the old embedded template with the new one, so if and when @Kymeia is in the mood, i kindly ask for his contribution (so we can make this one, the first, as far as i know, "3-member" collaboration!)
Another thing that i can partially confirm is that the plugin successfully migrates from VST2 to VST3! I think xavier's work was on VST2 version, but i reworked everything using the VST3 version without any trouble and the presets are working with both versions. To fully confirm this, i will make a test track tomorrow, with the vst2 plugin, then i will delete the .dll to see if the vst3 version will be used instead. If so, i will comment it in the VST2 -> VST3 migration forum.
After everything done, and if @Xavier agrees, Kymeia can add this to the public NKS directory. Last, but not least, i wish to all a peaceful and relaxing Christmas holidays. 🙏
UPDATE: Link updated. All presets containing now the new template, thanks to Kymeia!
Hi, I'm proud to share with you
Includes all presets, previews, artwork and is fully tagged.
Enjoy ! 😀
Amazing share. Thanks @Mercury
Thanks a lot!
2102 presets in total? 😳 ...an .xml to .nksf script would be really useful!

@Sunborn Amazing dude. Thanks.
Note: For some reason only 35 presets appeared in instrument's browser, however on disc there is a "Patches" folder with over 3000 patches, also shown in instrument's browser (as a folder path), but i can't find a way to make them available in the library. Maybe because i don't have full version but a demo for testing?
Yes demo limitation

Here it is, mapped, fully tagged, with previews and artwork.
Displayed with the superb 2.9.4 GUI 😁

Enjoy !
Classic man! Nice one.
Thanks, I'll look at that. I hope I don't have to redo all the work!
I corrected my mistake using notepad++ 😍

@Kymeia : thanks to replace it in user library
Computer Music Magazine recently gave GForce ImpOSCar2 away. It is a fun synth with a unique sound. I have mapped 6-pages with the intent to easily adjust a preset and to use for DAW automation. It is >1500 presets. All tagged, banks made for the three extra banks. All preset names have been corrected with spelling, missing capitalization, missing spaces, and lack of prefix. Those preset names was a huge mess! So every bass sound now have a BA pre-fix, bells with BL, and so on.
Graphics too of course. Quite a big job. Enjoy!
Note: This is not VST3, only VST2. The VST3 mapping will not be fully compatible with VST2 so these NKSs will not load in the future VST3 but their own ImpOSCar2 presets will load in ImpOSCar3.
impOSCar2 extra bank previews for previous post.
Here is GForce Axxess VST3 with detailed tagging (GForce one), full mapping, sound previews and home made artwork.
