I can't seem to figure out how to show Smart Orchestra in Kontakt. Is that possible without a NI controller?

Hi!

Our libraries can't run in Kontakt. The Smart Orchestra runs in our free Synchron Player - simply download and install it from MyVSL.
With the NKS Installer you are able to run the library inside of NI's Komplete Kontrol.

Hi, 

I hope we can add those additional NKS installers in the not-so-distant future. We have to run them by NI, which also takes some additional time. So  I can't give you an ETA, but we have it on our list. 

Best, 
Paul

Hello Craig,

We'll continue in providing updates, with the goal to have almost1) all Synchron and Synchronized products available for nks.

I just can't provide any timeframe or details on the next updates, especially as we also always need to run them through an approval process from Native Instruments.

All the best

Gabriel

1) Currently Organ and Harp Player are not kompatible to NKS, so no immediate plans for libraries based on these players yet

As this question was raised first last year, may I also ask again when you intend to add NKS compatibility to the "Elite Strings" library?

Being an Austrian, even living here in Vienna - only a few kilometers away from your head quarters - doesn't prevent me from being a little bit disappointed in the meantime. Honestly, your products really seem to be outstanding; but as much as I'd be willing to support VSL by buying additional libraries, it must be mentioned here at this point that I think that VSL is heavily underestimating the needs some sample library users might have, especially when it comes to achieving a quick and convenient workflow. You may turn it as you like, but a serious NKS support in conjunction with VST3 plugins is simply a must-have nowadays.

Still I don't understand why any libraries you are giving away for free are natively providing NKS-support right out of the box, while others, even newer "commercial" VSL libraries simply don't. VSL is officially mentioned as NI's "NKS certified partner"; however, I must really point out that your list of NKS-supported products hasn't been growing since more than a whole year. In fact, I feel a little bit fooled, having purchased the "Elite Strings" library long ago, still hoping that someday it would be made fully NKS-supported by VSL. After all, you cannot deny that it was already on your "To-Do" list long ago; and that was even the trigger for me to purchase that library. All those special sales you are offering from time to time are looking very nice at first glance, but in fact they are not bringing any added value to many users, just because of the fact that many of your libraries are still lacking of any related NKS support. Maybe it would be really necessary for VSL to hire some additional staff in order to get this job done finally. Please take a look at your direct competitors; they have at least understood how to read the signs of the times. Just my 2 cents, but as mentioned, I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking like that.

I fully agree with you assessment. The speed is disappointing .Synchron Strings Pro was next Paul wrote in May 2022 more than a year ago and in the mean time we got again a lot of Big Bang stuff and non of the Synchron products.

Maybe the conceived idea is that Synchron users do not use Komplete. Kontrol NKS. I personally have made light guides plus knobs control for all classical instruments except for non tuned percussion I own for my KK S61 keyboard. That helps as most libraries have, plus minus a few notes, on the outside of the range, the same playing range for the instruments and many have CC 1, 11, 2 and 7 for the same purpose, Vibrato is often less standardized. so I programmed two knobs which I use dependent on the library vendor. That I have combined with articulations buttons on an ipad using Metagrid with Art Conductor. So in the mean time I do not really need NKS for those instruments.

Just unptiched percussion instruments are far from standardized on a keyboard. so there NKS would save a lot of time.
