Over to Jason…
A few new releases this month for Bleass Audio, Air Music and Waldorf
NKS Libraries for BLEASS Plugins
NKS support libraries have now been released for BLEASS Synths:
- BLEASS Alpha
- BLEASS Arpeggiator
- BLEASS Monolit
- BLEASS Megalit
- BLEASS Omega
- BLEASS SampleWiz2
NKS support covers all factory sound content and optional expansion content currently offered as either factory content only support or bundle that includes support for all expansion content. Currently individual expansion libraries are not available however please Contact if you would like access to libraries for specific expansions for a plugin and we can look into adding this.
Libraries are all tagged using the limited tagging available in the plugins but also additional tagging by hand (required for SampleWiz as it had 90% presets untagged) so this will offer a huge advantage in browsing sounds in these plugins.
Each plugin also offers a full controller map allowing deep control over the plugin and artwork files and sound previews are included with each library as usual.
Supports all NKS compatible keyboards and Maschine hardware.
Air Music NKS Libraries
NKS support libraries have now been released for the following Air Music plugins:
- Iona
- Ring The Alarm
- Vintage Jup
- Vintage Memorymoog
- Vintage Pro
- Fabric Vintage Synths 1 Collection
NKS support covers all factory sound content in each plugin with full tagging done by hand, sound previews, library database and artwork files and fully detailed controller maps for quick browsing and full control / recording of synths in your DAW.
Fabric Vintage Synths offers NKS libraries for each of the separate plugins as an option or get the full Fabric Vintage Synths Vol 1 library bundle with all 3 vintage synth plugins.
Supports all NKS compatible keyboards and Maschine hardware and requires the VST3 version of the plugin to be installed.
NKS Library: Waldorf Blofeld
NKS library now available for Waldorf Blofeld. All 2000+ presets browsable with sound previews, basic tagging and banks to browse the 2008/2012 libraries with sub banks for each of the expansion modules.
Designed to offer browsing of the actual hardware presets for a single layer. Full control over single layer however due to the huge count of parameters and the high parameter ID numbers some parameters do not show up when loaded within Maschine (likely a limitation on the IDs Maschine can display) but do show up in Komplete Kontrol. Also note that it may also result in some parameters failing to record automation in a DAW too as it seems VST3 still has issues with compatibility with some DAWs and the automation of such huge numbers of parameters.
Also note that there are a large number of duplicate presets which is normal due to the banks in Blofeld containing quite a few duplicates between different banks. I can consider a “scaled down” library which instead of offering an emulated browser for each of the actual 128 preset banks, I can consolidate all sub banks into a single browsable 2008/2012 bank browser with all duplicates removed to make it easier but for now the full browser to emulate what is available in the plugin and the hardware is available.
Donations
Your support through purchasing NKS libraries is very much appreciated and helps to develop and support new libraries at a resonable cost for everyone.
Sadly with the rising cost of everything especially with web costs I am having to constantly assess the pricing I offer to make sure I can keep things going so your considered donations really do help.
You can donate to and contact Freelance Soundlabs via the website.
