although I'm going to be very careful testing that as it seems there's potential for bad things if one doesn't know exactly what one is doing. I also found an app that lets me create an installer package that will copy the files into the proper locations for the end user. I could perhaps automate some of it, but right now I'm just getting off and figuring out this puzzle. It seems what's popular with these previews is to make the preview a recording of a C Major chord played at middle C, so when I have time I'm going to add that. Like I said, I figured out how the audio previews work. Keep in mind I'm learning here, but it's working well for me, with all the piano expansions listed.

I was wrong.Īll existing customers who bought TruePianos v1.x during or after will be eligible for a free update to TruePianos v2.0. I had thought small developers were just being *lazy*.

But now that I know they're charging small developers licensing, it doesn't feel fair for me to use the lack of NKS support against them. I know NI invested money to develop this and maybe they think once people like me get hooked on NKS, this will push me toward buying exclusively Native Instruments VIs or VIs from their partners. I have half a mind to apologize to UVI for writing to them also, asking them to start building in NKS support. Perhaps they think their system is so good, that consumer demand will push small developers into paying the licensing. Seems like if NI dropped the licensing fees, NKS could become as ubiquitous as MIDI itself.

from the email 'We’ll determine a license fee based on the retail price and order volume.' Well now KNOW why more small developers don't support this. Turns out Native Instruments charges a licensing fee for third party plug-in developers to support NKS. I got a response today that was a generic reply that seemed to assume I was a big developer. For example, access to the light guide on the Komplete Kontrol keyboards is something that casual experimenters like myself have been unable to figure out. I'm no programmer, but I thought maybe I could decipher some of the documentation and it would be useful to me. since I'm having this little conversation with myself, I'll share that I wrote to Native Instruments last night about getting an SDK for NKS. Nonetheless, given the litigious nature of society, I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY for any problems caused by installing these files on your computer and promise no technical support whatsoever. These files shouldn't cause any problems with your system, and if you get unpredictable results in Komplete Kontrol, you can just go back and remove them and then rescan your User Library.

If you are using a Komplete Kontrol series keyboard, it may also be a good idea to then quit and relaunch Komplete Kontrol so it clears out the memory of the keyboard. Depending on what you set in the preferences it should rescan the User Library, but to make sure, you can go to Preferences, click 'Library' from the left panel, then click the button labeled 'User' at the top, and then click the 'Rescan' button at the bottom right. The folder names indicate where the files should be copied.Īfter copying the files over, launch the standalone Komplete Kontrol app.

You must have the True Pianos VST version installed for Komplete Kontrol. Audio previews ARE INCLUDED in this version. It supports the factory presets for the Amber, Atlantis, Diamond, Emerald, Sapphire, and SapphirePed modules. I put together these NKS support files for 4Front True Pianos Virtual Instrument.
