VST3 Compatibility Notice

This library has been updated to work with Omnisphere VST3. The previous VST2 library is still included as a download option but is no longer updated or maintained.
New users should just download the VST3 library unless there is a specific need for VST2.

For Omnisphere users you will receive the Keyscape Creative preset browser pack. This contains 1500+ presets for Omnisphere with full tagging and 20 pages of controller mappings. These presets should tie in nicely with Omnisphere Preset Browsing for Komplete Kontrol.

NOTE: You must own Omnisphere v2.4+ and Keyscape for both libraries to work. If you only own Keyscape you will only have access to the Keyscape library presets.

Demo Version

The Free Download Version contains a handful of presets to test how the NKS installation and compatibility will work. You can download and install this for free to test things out before purchasing the full NKS library.

Instructions

Instructions are also included with each download

Browser & Controls

Included is both a library for the standalone Keyscape plugin and also a version that will launch in Omnisphere as a bank library. As of library V3.0 both the standalone and Omnisphere browser versions offer the same macro controls so presets work the same in Omnisphere now as they do in Keyscape.

An additional bank included is the “Creative” Keyscape Library that adds an extra 1000 presets to Omnisphere.

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.
