Freelance Soundlabs NKS News June 2024

Hello Visitor 

NOW AVAILABLE: UVI Instrument Libraries

There are a number of UVI libraries now available which should now cover almost all of the current available UVI instruments and libraries other than effects plugins (which likely will not be covered but may be if enough interest is there). All these libraries are available for Workstation and Falcon and have full controller maps, detailed tagging and sound previews / artwork files (including artwork for the latest MK3 keyboard)

Find all uvi libraries here:

NOW AVAILABLE: Cherry Audio Chroma NKS Library

https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/chroma 

This NKS library supports browsing of all factory presets for the Cherry Audio Chroma instrument and comes with a detailed controller map, tagged presets, sound previews and database/image files for the NKS browser including artwork for the MK3

All adjustable parameters for all 4 layers have been pre-mapped however it is not possible with any of the Cherry Audio plugins to map a control for parameters that display a popup selection box. Even tho these are listed as a controllable element, mapping these will simply cause the popup menu to appear and then cause it to get stuck on-screen. This has been reported to Cherry Audio multiple times over the years but likely it is a limitation in how they program their plugins. What is also a limitation in their plugins is the fact all parameters have a generic 0.00 to 1.00 parameter range and don't feedback the actual values. Again, this appears to be a limitation in how they create their plugins.

INFO: GForce Imposcar 3 NKS Library

Gforce Imposcar 3 was just released and we have already created an NKS library and mapping for it however, there is a confirmed issue currently where the plugin does not output any sound when loaded within Komplete Kontrol or Maschine. GForce are aware of hte issue and looking to issue a fix soon and once tested we will update the library and release it.

Library Artwork Updates for MK3 Keyboard

For those that may have missed the memos about this, be aware that the MK3 keyboard has some new image asset requirements for the display of artwork on its screen which needs to be updated in every past library. All libraries released and updated from November of last year will have this artwork included. Libraries before November of last year are slowly being updated and you can download just the required image files for these from a shared Google Drive here:
