However, you can also load plug-ins directly, allowing you to integrate any VST plug-in in KOM-
PLETE KONTROL. This way you can play your VST plug-ins using the Smart Play features, map
their parameters to the controls on the keyboard, and save Preset files for them in your KOM-
PLETE KONTROL User Library.
To load a VST plug-in in KOMPLETE KONTROL:
Select the plug-in you want to load in the Plug-ins submenu of the KOMPLETE KONTROL
menu.
If your VST plug-ins do not show up in the Plug-ins submenu, check if the VST
plug-in folders on your hard drive are correctly added to the Locations pane on the
Preferences’ Plug-ins page.
13.7. Installing NKS Instruments
Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) is a software instrument format that allows third-party developers to
integrate with KOMPLETE KONTROL and MASCHINE hardware and software at the same deep
level as KOMPLETE Instruments and Effects.
The Native Kontrol Standard includes:
Seamless integration into the KOMPLETE KONTROL Browser for a unified browsing experi-
ence.
Full parameter mapping for instant hands-on control.
Support of KOMPLETE KONTROL features such as the Light Guide.
NKS Instruments can be found in the KOMPLETE KONTROL Browser next to your KOM-
PLETE Instruments. All of their Preset files are fully tagged, so filtering in the Browser gives you
matching results from both KOMPLETE Instruments and NKS Instruments. And when you load a
Preset file from an NKS Instrument, its parameters are automatically mapped to the controls on
the keyboard.
