Instructions

Instructions are also included with each download

Browser & Controls

All factory presets have been saved with detailed tagging, sound previews and database/image files for the Komplete/Maschine browser.

A separate bank is available to select the previous Nexus 4 preset library, the new Nexus 5 library and each of the separate Christmas Expansion Libraries.

All available host automatable controls have been mapped. Nexus offers a limited amount of host automatable controls as it is primarily a “rompler” sound player but all controls that are open to the host have been pre-mapped for control and recording to your DAW.

For info on controller templates, check the ReadMe file

Most of the available Nexus Expansions have NKS available which you can get/order from this page with discounts applied in cart the more expansions added.

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.
