Freelance Soundlabs NKS Monthly Newsletter May 2026
Redacted from the FSL subscriber newsletter
Apologies a little late this month due to being away from home for an extended period.
Here is the news from Jason.
NKS Library: Best Service Engine Audio
Several new libraries to add NKS support for Best Service Engine Audio:
– Celtic Era 2
– Dark Era 1 / 2
– Desert Winds
– Era II Medieval Legends
– Forest Kingdom 3
These libraries add NKS browsing capabilities for all presets with tagging done by hand, banks to browse by library categories and controller map applied individually to each preset allowing for control over the programmed macro controls. This saves having to enable “Host Automation” per control when loading a preset, pre mapping has been done already for instant control and recording.
These libraries are quite a challenge to create due to the fact the Engine Audio plugin uses a “macro” system where every parameter you want to record or control from the keyboard has to be “host automation enabled” and this is lost on each preset change so for every preset in each instrument, every parameter had to be re-enabled for automation then saved. This took a month to figure out how to automate this in each instrument and while every effort has been made to ensure the mapping is accurate, there may be some cases where the script did not correctly map things so if there are any issues found, just use the Contact Form to let me know.
According to the developer, the initial Epic World, NADA and the above listed libraries are the most popular options for users but if you own any others from this developer or are looking to purchase any that are not covered please let me know as there are no further plans to add any more support for these ones at this time unless there is interest.
NKS Library: GForce Bundles: Oberheim / Analogue / Ultimate
We now have NKS library bundles for GForce instruments that cover the GForce bundles: Oberheim Bundle, Analogue Series V2 Bundle and Ultimate Bundle V2
For information and comparisons between these instrument bundles see the Comparison Chart on the GForce website
These NKS Library bundles include fully tagged presets, artwork, sound previews and full in-depth controller maps for all instruments within these bundles (excluding preset packs).
If you own any of the GForce bundles or the instruments listed in the bundle then you can simply add the NKS library bundle to get a decent discount on the libraries that cover the instruments compared to purchasing each separately, and if you already own any individual NKS libraries, you will receive a further discount applied to your cart.
Demo downloads available for each bundle and of course please feel free to post any questions you may have or reach out if you need more information.
