New in Version 2.2.0

Detailed & Improved Tagging
All NKS libraries have been updated by hand to add more detailed tagging to every preset. Over 15,000 new tags have been added to sounds with work continuing on adding even more tagging. This ensures all sounds in every library are tagged for easy searching. Additional work has also been done to consolidate and improve tagging with HUNDREDS of improvements to tagging since version 2.1. This improves browser speeds and makes finding sounds even faster. It’s recommended to update ALL your NKS libraries to make the best use of this.

Version Numbers
Version numbers for releases have been added to the properties of each NKS file. This can be used to easily identify which version you are using. All releases have version numbers at the top of the download page and at the top of the ReadMe PDF within each release. Check the end of the page for a full change log.

Controller Map Tweaks
Some instruments have updated controller maps updates to improve control layouts or add additional controls. Check the change log at the end of this document for any applicable changes.

Numerous Tweaks & Improvements
There are thousands of tweaks and improvements to tagging, control templates, sound preview files to fix issues that have been found and reported by users or to update details or usability. It is a good idea to feedback any issues or suggestions as we do update these libraries with your suggestions.

Features Added in v2.1.1 (Dec 2017)

Improved Tagging

Additional tagging has been done to many presets across all libraries as well as a more cleaning up of tags. To make best use ofthis be sure to update all your libraries to the latest. Just download and copy over the existing files.

New Sound Previews

New preview files have been generated for all instruments. Bass notes for synth/acoustic bass are now an E1 note which soundsmore natural. Drum kit presets now play 4 different hits to showcase a few kit sounds. Acoustic guitars now produce a “strum”chord instead of a single C note. Some sounds were fixed but others (especially small drum kits) may not play a sound.

New Image Display for loaded Plug-ins (Maschine Studio/MK3/Komplete MK2)

When browsing for a sound and loading a preset the display screens would show a black screen with a text title of the plugginginstead of the plugging splash logo. This has been addressed and now adds an extra few folders to cater for this. A splash imageis now displayed along with the colour of the plug-in header.

Features Added in v2.1 (Oct 2017)

Filter by Instrument Bank

Now Available is a much needed feature that is available in the Factory library... The ability to filter an instrument by preset BANKS using a second and third filter below the plugin header.

This now replaces the [Library] tag place holder that was in previous library’s and offers the ability to finally restrict a search to a single library or sub library.

Cleaner Tagging

Tags have been better condensed across multiple instruments and library’s. There were many duplicate tag locations in different areas and this has been heavily reduced which will be most noticeable in 3rd party library’s for Omnisphere. Where possible some extra time has been spent tagging additional information into the browser. This will be an ongoing process

Updated Plugin Artwork

Artwork for all NKS library plugins has been updated to fit in better with the style of the factory library. If you have the previous version 1 NKS library you will need to overwrite the IMAGES included with this release. 

Sound Previews

This update now includes sound previews for the preset browser. Every preset will play a small sound sample of the preset sound while browsing. This now adds some extra size to the download and the installation.
