This NKS Library is an updated version of the Korg Legacy bundle to now include ALL Korg Collection Instruments. This bundle contains all factory presets and additional Korg expansion banks for all Korg Collection 3 instruments to browse using the Komplete Kontrol or Maschine software. This totals over 8,500 preset files and includes presets for the following instruments:
- Arp Odyssey
- Legacy Cell
- M1
- miniKorg
- MonoPoly
- MS-20
- Polysix
- Prophecy
- Triton
- Triton Extreme
- Wavestation
Presets are fully tagged for quick browsing of sounds within Komplete Kontrol with controls mapped in a logical way. Artwork and database files are also provided for the NKS browser along with sound previews and detailed controller maps for all instruments
Compatibility
- Supports Komplete Kontrol Software v2.8+
- Supports Maschine Software 2.16+
- Supports Komplete Keyboards (all versions)
- Supports Maschine Hardware (all versions)
- Supports PC / MAC
- Supports 64 Bit VST3
- Presets: 8,500+
- 15GB required for NKS library file installation
- Requires Korg Collection 3 Bundle (or individual instruments)
NOTE: This collection is VST3 compatible (with exception to Legacy Cell currently as no VST3 exisits for Windows).
Older VST2 versions are also available if needed
You may find if you have VST2 versions of plugins installed and available in Komplete/Maschine these will be loaded instead of the VST3 version so it is suggested to remove these plugins from the path KK scans for VST2 as it is impossible to stop KK loading the VST2 version if it exists
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 browser pack.

Preset Browser & Controls
Presets contain tagging information and carefully mapped, grouped and labelled controls over multiple pages that will work directly from the KK keyboard or Maschine controller.
Please Note: Some of the latest Korg instruments such as MS-20 / Polysix will display the incorrect preset name when loading presets from the NKS browser. This is an issue with the plugins recalling the wrong name from their database but the preset sound loads up just fine and these can be used without issue, just be aware the name is not correctly displayed. This is an issue within the plugin and has been reported and confirmed by Korg, it affects any host (not just Maschne and KK) but still no word if they will ever address this issue. Older "Legacy" versions of these plugins do not have this issue.

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.
