Instructions

Instructions are also included with each download

Browser & Controls

Vintage Vault offers a number of “plugins” that open within the same host. These are essentially libraries with dedicated controls similar to Kontakt. Each synth library has been designed into individual NKS library entries and some libraries contain multiple banks to filter through.
Finding and loading sounds using Komplete Kontrol is much faster than within UVI Workstation or Falcon. Artwork has been carefully designed for each plugin to make the browser easy on the eyes and all labelling and library management has been designed to work efficiently on MK1 + MK2 keyboards alike.
Each plugin has a dedicated controller map that offers access to almost every control in each plugin.
Files are now tagged with detailed tagging information over all files (which took weeks to do!!!) so please enjoy.
Due to the huge amount of work involved and the large amount of different control templates, some issues may be present. If you find anything simply feed it back to us.

THINGS TO NOTE:

– There are now 2 identical libraries included in the download (for UVI Workstation and Falcon) but only 1 needs to be installed depending on if you use the Free UVI Workstation or the more advanced Falcon.
– Some instruments (UltraMini, Vector Pro) contain large sample libraries that can take some time to load especially if running from a mechanical HDD. Please keep this in mind if you find a large delay loading some instruments.
– If you are receiving an error “unable to mount the volume” when launching some presets, take note of the instrument you have issues with and check for an updated UFS file download for that instrument as old libraries are the cause for this error. This collection has been tested on several PCs with different installation paths and also Mac and should work without issue if you are up to date.

FAQ / Disclaimer

This NKS library is created with no affiliation to Native Instruments or the VST vendor. I am not paid, or even supported by Native Instruments or the vendors. Downloading and usage of this library is at the users own risk. Payments are non refundable. There is no support or guarantee offered that these will suit your own application which is why a free version is offered to test with. If you are satisfied with the free version then the paid version offers the same features and includes all factory presets. There is no guarantee that future versions of the Komplete/Maschine software will support these preset files or the current features.

Users are not authorised to share or distribute the files with anyone else without the consent of Freelance SoundLabs. A lot of work goes into managing this project, hosting the files and writing documentation and I am also an active forum member helping out users. Please do the right thing; the cost is only a few beers to help me out.
