MIDI Learning the Next/Previous Preset Buttons when using GR as a plugin
Is this not possible at all or just an Ableton thing? I can't use the standard Ableton method of using the Configure button on the plugin to learn it into Ableton. Pressing the next preset button in GR adds several items to the device in Ableton. The idea is to use a foot switch to cycle through presets.

customizing Automation pages for 3rd party VSTs
When I load a VST2 or VST3 instrument (in the software), I get a bunch of automation pages with some random order of the CCs with their names. This depends on the specific VST.

Open sourcing the Kontakt 7 nks2 implementation

Then NI would sooner benefit from the efforts of other developers… What is the status of this project? I also wonder…
