"More than just a sound idea..." We also offer commercial agreements and our services extend beyond simple downloadable content.

Primarily offering music production services, NKS compatibility libraries and location sound recording we also offer a host of freelance expertise to anyone needing a "jack of all trades". FreelanceSoundLabs.com was created to allow the sharing and distribution of our music and audio services to the wider community. Rather than putting together another bloated sample and audio sharing site or expe

nsive packages, we operate on a much smaller scale. We can also offer sound design, music production, mixing, programming, scripting, graphic design, video editing and a whole host of creative and support services through many of our close partners. In addition to audio work I also offer support and management services for forums, websites, servers (game/hosted servers) and anything else that may need a "jack of all trades" kind of approach. With experience in managing small offices and teams, to remote support to fast paced production and time critical applications there is almost no task that I won't take on and figure out.

Update: Steinberg NKS Library MK3 Keyboard Image Updates
All Steinberg libraries have been updated to now include artwork files for the MK3 keyboard as well as artwork that was missing for the Flux, Tales and Verve instruments for Halion 7
You can choose to update the database files by downloading the updated libraries from your user area here (Note the versioning for the libraries has not changed as it is one file updated):

https://freelancesoundlabs.com/index.php/component/k2/item/452

Or you can download the image update only from the following GDrive location:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bcWA8K_imwpxgBy64AabV1Krr66atVof&usp=drive_fs

To download \ update images:
If you downloaded the whole IMAGE folder you can just copy it and merge with the existing image folder at:
Windows: C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\NI Resources
MAC: /Users/Shared/NI Resources
You will see an image folder in this location and if you are a mac user, note it asks if you want to merge or replace the folder, always choose MERGE.
The images will then be placed in the correct locations within the image folder as the structure of the folders and files is already correct. No issue if there are images for plugins you don’t have, they will simply not do anything.
You can of course manually copy the folders within the image folder for just the plugins you need, just be sure to keep them in the same order as they are listed, copy from the image folder from google drive and into the image folder on your computer.
These are only the image files for the MK3 keyboard, it does not affect the MK2 keyboard.

Update: GForce Imposcar3 NKS Library

Update available for this one that fixes a number of silent preview sounds, a couple of preset files that had incorrect filename's and changes the background colour for the MK2 display to a slightly darker shade to assist with reading the white text on a light background issue.

Update can be downloaded in your user area here (v3.0.1):

https://freelancesoundlabs.com/index.php/component/k2/item/336

Just delete/replace the existing NKS preset files to update these

To address the updated background colour, just copy the dist_database folder and for PC users choose to replace existing files within, for MAC USERS choose to merge the folder then update the existing files (DO NOT REPLACE THE dist_database folder)

If you prefer to play it safe and only update the actual file needed, open the dist_database\gforce\imposcar3 folder and copy/replace the color.json file to the dist_database location on your PC:

Windows: C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\NI Resources
MAC: /Users/Shared/NI Resources

Now Available: GForce Imposcar3 NKS Library

https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/imposcar3

NKS Library is now available for the VST3 version of Imposcar3. This library covers all presets in all 3 factory banks with tagging converted from the preset library into NKS format tagging. A full controller map, sound previews and library artwork is also included.

While this library should function just fine there are some things to be aware of.

There is a bug in the current VST3 version of Imposcar3 which will cause the plugin to not output any sound if you switch presets using the plugins browser. This is what had delayed this library from being released for a while as it wasn't possible to simply save out the NKS files and have them work when loaded. However after some tests it was confirmed to be possible for this plugin to work so I decided to look closer as to what was causing this issue and look for a way to work around it.

From my investigation it seems the VST3 version of the plugin is somehow reading the preset data incorrectly and messing up the plugins parameters when switching between presets while loaded in Komplete Kontrol or Maschine. The values are wildly different than they should be and this is causing parameters to set OFF in most cases.

Since I had already pre-exported and tagged all the NKS files in the hope a fix may come I was able to read the raw preset data from the xml preset files and inject/replace the preset data within the NKS files to correct this issue and make the files work. I have also tested saving instances within a project and everything recalls correctly (tested in Maschine, Ableton Live and Reaper), tho be aware for users using Ableton Live on Windows you may see the long standing bug with Komplete Kontrol where the plugin window does not display when loaded but there is nothing I can do on that front and believe me, I have tried to offer detailed feedback on the issue over the years to no avail. You can still load sounds and use the mapped controls which is how I have been working with some plugins. I also tested the VST2 version and that has the same issue in Ableton Live otherwise I would have generated a VST2 library version as a workaround.

So all browsing and control should work and as long as you do not use the plugins own browser to switch presets in your project. The plugins state will save correctly (or at least should) in your project if it works when loaded from the NKS files. If GForce eventually fix this bug the current library will also still work as it should.

Now Available: D16 Lush2 NKS Library

This library covers all single layer and multi layer patches with a custom template for both layer types, over 1600 presets! Single layer patched cover almost all available controls while multi-layer patches cover most of the common controls needed between layers such as volume/pan, filter, pitch, envelope. Mapping is similar to the previous Lush101 library with a few additions and changes.

Presets are all tagged with sound previews and artwork files, including artwork for the MK3 keyboards.

One thing to note with Lush2 is due to the large number of automatable parameters it is required to "enable" controls for automation. This has all been done for you in the NKS presets so saves a lot of time and in the case of the multi-layer presets, I have mapped many parameters already but also pre-enabled a lot of controls just in case it is desired to have more in the template, however I don't want to bloat up the template too much more. If parameters have not been pre-enabled it is unlikely I can add them (easily) to a template update so hopefully it covers what is needed.
