    (Thank you @ Vagus)

    Should anyone else here be a total noob like me with respect to NKS User Library and read this and do not understand the part with the MST_plugin.png then it is found in the (Windows) system drive directory for the instrument ! E.g. : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\40s Very Own - Drums\PAResources\image\40s Very Own - Drums\MST_plugin.png together with other images/artwork !

    (Reason for posting the above here is that Google came up rather empty on the search, at least for me, so I had to dig myself to find the location since it were not on the target drive for custom path installation where I initially expected to find it !)

    Thank you :-) Some more added to the stack of all the things I'd like to know and learn a lot more about !

    Working this stuff out was the main reason I setup this thread back on the old forum. I wanted to make sure it wasn't just NI and 'NKS partners' who could create NKS but open it up to anyone who wanted to control a plugin that wasn't officially NKS too.

    Did I hurt your feelings because I didn't agree with you at some point. The issue is people have their noses bent out of shape FAR too easily these days. Even saying to someone to try RTFM causes people to loose it.

    The issue is nothing to do with that at all, it is NKS has been out 10 years now, the update officially is slow and many have actually moved on, it is just not as popular as it use to be and living costs have grown substantially. simple. I cannot say things in a way that everyone will take as perfect, I guess I have offended you at some point so sorry for whatever caused you offense but to say I am rude to everyone, why would I be here after 10 years with so many likes and why would so many disagree with you? Maybe it is just certain people I don't really like, usually there are good reasons and i'm not interested to befriend everyone, I sometimes find it refreshing when people speak up even if it is at the potential of making an enemy.

    Funny this comment, am I also not entitled to my opinion? If I see someone being rude, obnoxious, deliberately spammy or whatever, should I also keep quiet about it?

    The only thing I can recall is some advice you gave that was completely wrong and I offered the correct advice. If you would like to PM me with the example of what the issue is so I can maybe learn from my mistakes, happy to discuss, but let's not try and tarnish the fact I have been here over 10 years like many, helping thousands out, assisting many thousands more via email, remote sessions, helping blind users setup their libraries etc, with the fact I am human like most people here and sometimes say things in a way others can perceive as rude. Some people feel being told the truth is rude.

    Feel free to create your own thread with your examples and we can discuss openly what your confliction is, no need to clog up useful threads with personal views.

    I think that you have given ample demonstration in the last two posts addressed at me that you are plenty happy about yourself and that you are convinced that everyone else is too. So why would I want to spend any time at all discussing with you how fond you are of yourself and how much everybody else agree according to both you and your fans !

    Maybe the way you project yourself, like these comments, is what rubs me the wrong way. That and your excessive use of exclamations !

    Seriously, if you are going to throw a comment into the ring and then not defend your comment with any real facts or examples because people don't agree with you then just back out and say "what's the point" what was the point of making such a claim in the first place? Why make a comment in a public setting then state why you should spend time defending the comment? None of these people are my "fans" and I would think that comes off as a bit condescending suggestion, these people are just like me, knowledgeable guys here to help others and discuss things in a forum. People stick up for those they have known for a while and since I and many of the people in this thread have been around for 10+ years we have learned to get along and respect each other.

    I think that you have given ample demonstration in the last two post addressed at me that you are plenty happy about yourself and that you are convinced that everyone else is too.

    Um, if you read I acknowledge pretty clear that I get a few people will be upset with me, find me ANY user here with a post count of 2000 or more that has not upset someone along the way. I don't sit here and ponder if everyone likes me or not because that is not a goal of mine and if it was, I would certainly not be on the internet. I live in Australia, we don't walk on eggshells but will help you rip the shirt of another mans back if it was warranted.

    I pointed out months ago after almost every question that came up you were suggesting to uninstall and reinstall everything again making sure to use Admin mode etc. To me, your answers sounded and looked like the increasing number of answers given by AI bots and I simply called this up and said that uninstall/reinstall should be the last thing to do since it is very time consuming and requires a lot of bandwidth.

    I have never engaged you again after that so if that is what your nose is bent out of shape about, don't take offense. There has been an increasing number of bot answers which are always generic solutions like reinstall software, update drivers. Before setting about uninstalling stuff it is much better to check every other base to make sure there are no issues. I do support technical for a living, most of the time a direct and stern approach is the best at saving frustrations and time.

    If I ever receive one of the NI prizes for helping I will donate it to you if you like, I have no need for the vouchers as I don't purchase NI software much, I have enough already that I don't use, I hang around on the forums to chart, learn from others and practice my support skills. If I upset 1 in a thousand people, i'm winning but if I did upset you I do apologize as it is never my intention to deliberately upset anyone, usually it is more a case people get upset with something I have said because of the way their feelings work. I have nothing against you at all.

    So you do remember after all ! (though we maybe do not comprehend what passed the same way !)

    Quote : "if I did upset you I do apologize as it is never my intention to deliberately upset anyone" ,

    OK ! apology accepted !

    Quote : "I have nothing against you at all." ,

    OK , I could make comments , but I will not do so/I will refrain and as written above then "apology accepted !"

    As for the voucher offer , then thank you but no thank you ! , I have no wish of taking the prize for another mans work (you can keep your shirt also 😉)

    Hello. Sorry if I missed it or just didn't look in the correct places, but curious to know if anyone has made presets for the GoranGrooves drum libraries? They should all have the same layout from the info I've read. Very reasonably priced as well, so would be happy to purchase for someone to make at least one of them. I own the Reggae Standard which is $35 USD.

    I'd be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks very much.

    I can't post a link apparently because I haven't been on the forum long enough, because it lost who I was, so parse 'library dot gorangrooves dot com' and it will make sense...

    I don’t think you have missed anything, tbh I had not even heard of these before

    i can tell you for sure, no one has made presets for those, so far (at least no one that we know), personally i never even heard those plugins before... what make things even harder is, that they do not have demos, so even if i (or someone else) wanted to help you, i have to buy those (which is not going to be happened, as i have a lot of pro drum tools already)... maybe another fellow member can help, though :-)

    Hard to see what they even look like on the website, are they for Kontakt or plugins in their own right? Do they come as VST3 and support Apple Silicon? If so it may be possible for me to work with you to show you how to do it but it depends on how complex these are. Some drum plugins are hard to map in Komplete Kontrol, there’s a reason why Battery 4 doesn’t come as a proper NKS for example, as every cell would need its own multi page mapping, it would just be unusable

    They're stand-alone AU/AAX/VST2/VST3, and so far as I know, they do have a trial mode so maybe it's possible to map even using those?

    I just bought it because I knew I'd definitely like it.

    I'd love to show you what it sounds like but since I'm not allowed to post links, if interested, check my latest instagram clip out where I have the UI in-focus.

    Insta is Onj_AndreLouis.


    I'd love to do this myself but I'm not sure I know how, or even if it's accessible to do with a screen-reader.


    Thanks for any help/advice, this community really is invaluable.

    Ah I see - does that mean you are blind or partially sighted? I will have a look to see if there is a demo when I get home from work but it does depend on whether is is doable to map, not all plugins are, especially drums can be challenging, but I like a challenge :)

    You should be able to posts links after a few more posts
