12.6 Installing NKS Instruments
Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) is a software instrument format that allows third-party develop-
ers  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.
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.
