Freelance Soundlabs NKS News August 2023

Hello  

Apologies if you received this last week, there was a mailing issue and most users did not receive this mailout so resending again. 

RELEASE: IK Multimedia SampleTank 4 NKS Library

https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/sampletank4

I am finally happy to release this massive library available for SampleTank 4. This is offered as 3 separate libraries: 

• SampleTank 4 Factory Content
• SampleTank Total Bundle 3.5 Expansions
• SampleTank Syntronik Expansions

This was a huge amount of work with a number of difficult challenges but will now open up all instrument presets for browsing and control from both Komplete / Maschine and will work in the latest VST3 version of SampleTank 4 on both PC and Mac. You will find content stored in banks to make browsing easier.

Note that due to the amount of time it took to create this library Total Studio bundle 4 has just been released which adds several new expansions for SampleTank 4. These are not included, only the Total Bundle 3.5 content is available. The upgrade costs are quite expensive for the few extra libraries but once there is a sale available I may consider the additional content if there is demand for it.

RELEASE: IK Multimedia SampleTron 2 NKS Library

https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/sampletron

Sampletron is now fully NKS ready. All factory presets are browsable with a full controller map, detailed tagging and support files (artwork, database files).  

RELEASE: Cherry Audio Octave Cat NKS Library

https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/octavecat

Latest Cherry Audio synth "Octave Cat" is now NKS ready. Offers a detailed controller map, fully tagged presets and artwork.

Offered as both VST2 and VST3 version libraries. 

UPDATE: Sonic Projects OPX PRO II VST3 Update

https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/opx

Sonic Projects OPX-Pro II NKS Library has now been updated for VST3 compatibility. This required a complete redo as the preset format has changed since the older version used to make the original VST2 version and does not load in the latest version but the presets are exactly the same and all tagging is carried over from the old library however because it was done years ago, the control template has been updated to hopefully be a little more intuitive.

Because it now supports VST3 and the macOS version of OPX supports Apple Silicon, this should now work for mac users where only PC users were able to use this till now.

UPDATE: G-Force M-Tron MKII VST3 Update

https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/mtronmkii

Update for the M-Tron MKII plugin that adds VST3 compatibility for the PC library version only. There is currently no VST3 version offered for Mac only VST2 but if a version is ever released an updated Mac library will also be released.
