    I am not closing any time soon, it 100% depends on if the income covers costs, that is literally how realistic it is and in the last few months times have been very tough on my end.

    I have my webspace covered for another year so even if I simply stop it is still available for that time. I always stress people need to maintain backups because if I were to simply die then it would disappear anyway so can never rely on it forever.

    Reality in my case is I have lost the paid work I have been doing for the last few years that afforded me time to do what I do and manage this project. Current times have hit a lot of businesses hard and the guy I have been working for just isn't making money at the moment so had to put me off for a while (indefinitely) so I have no income at the moment and need to look into a more stable income before things get serious. I fear with a full time job I just will not have time to develop more NKS, just maintain what I have.

    If the new MK3 really takes off and a new influx of users boosts things then that may just keep things going longer but fact is I need a stable source of income because NKS libraries just don't cover the insane rising cost of this world. So to answer your question honestly, no idea I am afraid.

    Just made a template for the new free wavetable/Percussive synth from Toybox - Thump One (I presume Thump Two will be the more full featured non free version coming-out at some point, but this one is still pretty specced and fun to play with)

    https://www.toyboxaudio.com/pages/thump-one

    I have tried to make the template forwards compatible with NKS2 and the MkIII keyboards by including the higher res graphics resources needed by the Mk III keyboards (obviously these won't show on the Mk II or current version of KK) - all patches tagged with previews

    It's in the NKS User Library/current/Toybox folder

    Just improved the logos to be closer to the synth so if you have downloaded please do so again

    Toybox is cool. I bought their Reaktor stuff and it all was NKS.

    Yeah afaik anything that is installed via Native Access has to be NKS ready but it seemed appropriate to complete the set :)

    Has anybody done Lector by Waldorph? It's on sale right now and looks pretty cool.

    Does it not come as NKS already? - the other Waldorf plugins do (although they only work with the VST2 versions)

    I don't know. If so, they don't mention it anywhere.

    Thanks for doing these. It's always nice to have new free toys.

    Hi, Just curious as to how these differ from the pre-existing official Rob Papen NKS support for the instrument?

    These are for the VST3 version. The official Rob Papen NKS are working only for the VST2 version.

    Not anymore, RP have fixed the VST3 NKS for Blue III and BIT 2 (which they did announce some time ago) but I just found out (which they didn't announce) they also seem to have silently fixed them for several others (Punch, Vector, Predator 3, Go2, Blade2); the only synth I have of theirs that still complains about Migration is RAW

    @JesterMgee Since I am one of the few with an MK3 right now, I had to try adding my own NKS banner to your Synth Anthology 4 user library.. 😍

    Yeah that looks good. Looks like there will be a lot of work to update artwork to add in this new image.

    I believe it is a .webp file. Anyone able to test if it still works if it's labelled as a PNG? Would just make things a little easier if it also detected a PNG image for the same thing.

    Personally, I would have prefered it to do away with that massive image that kind of contributes to nothing and instead add the actual value of the encoder on-screen.... like it is on the MK2.

    The encoder position icon is a nice addition but at the loss of the useful info where you have to touch the control now to see. Seems it could also be added onto the screen under the controls, but I guess that would make the touch controls kind of useless other than for voice assistance.
