FREELANCE SOUNDLABS NKS NEWS JANUARY 2026
Here is the latest news redacted from the Freelance Soundlabs subsriber newsletter
Over to Jason…
Hopefully your Christmas / Holiday and New Year period was enjoyable. This year is shaping up to have a lot of content released and it is already off to a pretty good start.
NEW NKS LIBRARIES
NKS Library: Spectrasonics Omnisphere 3
Many will be aware that I have been working on an updated library for Omnisphere 3 and initial estimates had this requiring over 6 months of work to process the whole thing. I am pleased to say this was significantly reduced with some efficiencies being made in the scripting and this is also being split into 2 library releases for the latest Omnisphere 3 library and an updated “Omnisphere Legacy” library covering the Omnisphere 2 and Hardware library content released at a later date.
This Initial library release contains over 26,000 factory presets and 18 preset library banks for Omnisphere 3 that can be loaded and browsed directly using the Komplete Kontrol / Maschine software and hardware. All presets contain the Omnisphere preset information, tagging information, sound previews for all files and a new updated 50 page controller template
Libraries Supported:
- Ambient Dreams
- Analog Vibes
- Classic Digital
- Club Land
- Electronic Production
- Electronic Underground
- Experimental Organic
- Hard Edges
- Instruments Collection
- Live Keyboardist
- Organic Vibes
- Retro Vibes
- Scoring Electronic
- Scoring Organic
- SFX Electronic
- SFX Organic
- Vocal Collection
- Warm Tones
Please Note: This library supports Omnisphere 3 and offers browsing of the Omnisphere 3 Factory content. Omnisphere 2 content which is now classed as “Omnisphere Legacy” content is currently available using the previous Omnisphere 2 library however this is being updated to add the new main macro controls and standardize the controller template between all presets. This will take some time to develop but upgrade options for this release will be available for users who own the Omnisphere 2 library.
See The Post on our website product page for the full update info and be sure to read the requirements and update information available as updates to Omnisphere are needed along with running the latest version of either Komplete Kontrol 2 or 3 (any version of Maschine works fine).

NOTICE ON LEGACY LIBRARIES
trash-can-icon-28676
I have offered unlimited downloads for users to download their libraries for the last 10 years and have maintain even old libraries for plugins no longer available as well as older VST2 based libraries even where VST3 libraries are now available and should have been updated to use.
With the constant increase in costs as well as the ever growing number and size of libraries it is required to discontinue some of these older libraries especially where VST3 library versions are now available and maintained.
Many VST2 libraries are now no longer available for download or for purchase. Some plugins that were obselete and never updated for VST3 were already omitted during the migration to the new site last year however many VST2 libraries for current plugins were still available for download as some users have not updated to the VST3 library versions.
You will still see these listed in your account but when downloaded you may receive a simple notice that the download is no longer available. In most cases, an upgrade path is available to get the latest updated VST3 version of the library so check if this is available to you first.
If you have any questions or issues please feel free to contact me via the contact form on the website but please note, unless there is a veryn good reason I will not provide downloads for these libraries if a VST3 library exists, you will be asked to upgrade your library to the latest version.
