How to Create Thumbnails for Non-NKS User Libraries for Komplete Kontrol!

[@sandrodc69]

And I have to join the chorus of thank yous - having spent absurd amounts of time looking for the answer on how to do this, your video provided all the answers. The OCD side in many of us extend unreserved kudos :)

[@el-bov8034]

This is great! Very clear instructions and demonstration. Now I'm a lot more confident about digging in with my own libraries. Many thanks :)

[@ambientharmonics2662]

This might be one of the greatest videos on KZbin!!!! Thanks for stream lining the process for me. Love your vids!

[@BeatsShay]

I don't see that you can load banks from 3rd party VSTs using this method. Did you make a video and could you link me it?

[@jeriswatching]

Thanks so much, sir! I've followed a few tutorials trying to get these done, and none of them were as clear as yours.

[@DaveDoesEverything_]

I’ve been searching for this info for days. Thank You!!

[@ParadiseProjectsGroup]

Might have been a while ago, but this is good information for Komplete user, thank you for making this video.

[@algorhythm_online]

John Mike - Thanks for video. I had worked out a few bits myself but this was so handy to get the job 100% done. The Zip file on the NI site made it really easy to follow. Great Job!

[@MrT2801]

Made my Day 🥳🥳🥳 thank you for this Video!!! You did an great Job👌 greetings from germany 😎

[@Proxima04]

Awesome tut man, you have had some patience to figure this out. Thanks a million.

[@GshockDRe]

I have Mac but don’t see this dist_database nor anything that has examples to copy and put on a new folder.

[@MrT2801]

Can you tell me the exactly size of the pictures? Where can i geht this size? And where your sounds and banks are? How get you These Things in there?🤔 sorry for this question but i'm New with NI and a bloody beginner noob 🙈

[@patrickmyles4327]

Nice video bro!! I had a question? I have just upgraded to komplete 14 and all my NI thumbnails are missing with that plugin in symbol. Can u please advise how to fix this. Thanks.

[@auxorion]

Is there a way to browse the Omnisphere presets from the hardware screen? Or do you still have to load the plugin and browse in the computer?

[@audioartisan]

Thank you for explaining how to accomplish this! Very Appreciated! Still looking for tutorials that explain setting up previews and custom new preset banks within existing VST's (Bankchain's) . Subscribed!

[@bradleylambert3284]

There is a free open source softwarer called Preset Magician. It will automatically scan through your VST's and create a user NKS library including sound previews for you. I doesn't work with all plugins but as an example I used it with Sylenth which has just over 500 presets, no way I was going through all them and doing it manually but that does it really quick and puts them in your user content folder for you so you don't need to do it yourself. Now I can scroll through Sylenth presets and I also have the sound preview. Very useful. There is a way to do it with custom third party presets but haven't figured out how to yet but it's still a great tool.

[@srenbohn4904]

Thanks a milion. This is such a good tutorial, I had actually kind of given up on this, but after your tutorial I got it all working fine. So great :-)

[@onpoint1180]

can you make a folder with these thumbnails you already done? I'd be willing to pay 20$

[@willynordboe5853]

Thank you so much did u figure out how to change the names for the wheels?

[@gravyguns]

Do you know how to create sound previews for non-NKS user libraries?

[@Johnmike]

Been working on that...hadn’t figured it out yet

[@lambwatson2617]

It's a pain. But this is how you create the previews. For east west I had to go thru the sounds I use FL studio for this. Load up the bank press record 1 key press for all the sounds you want previewed. Save in folder bank name add to preview folder on your hd native instruments and walla. Or just use the user file under preferences and add the folder for the banks and it will automatically play. Hope this helps

[@donantoine5050]

didnyou ever add the banks in?

[@TwizzleTV]

Finally found the right video! Thanks ,, I would have never figured out that meta data thing. got it working before adding the dist_database? is that part necessatry? Thanks again

[@natedawww]

Fabulous!

[@GioLennox]

Thankyou so much!!

[@danicroitor8700]

if you created already the file would be nice and helpful if you shared them I don't have a dist_database folder :P

[@Fetti_Sosa]

Dani Croitor same and when i created one I don't think it made a difference and the 3rd party plugins only show up in user section however on my old pc which is nowhere near as nice as my pc now HAD a dist_database folder also all my third party plugins omnisphere serum etc show up in the factory side with full artwork and functionality as opposed to showing up in user section with no artwork

[@graph9944]

Thank you for this great tip, nice work !!!

[@MVersteegNL]

Great stuff

[@dontamcneely3930]

Where do you get your 3rd party sounds from

[@Johnmike]

Different places...spectrasonics...Arturia different other places

[@LEDBOO]

THANK YOU!!!!!!

[@Jocepos]

Excellent : )

[@qwertandrew8720]

[@lambwatson2617]

Yo you the man. I'll trade you bout $1000 worth of plugins if you set them up like this for me. Or some Cash either way you the man. 💪

[@jjoomusic]
