Something so obviously useful and needed in the industry and getting it implemented is like trying to herd cats. Makes you wonder how the industry ever agreed upon the MIDI protocol in the first place.

Thanks for the heads up on the XLN product.

Perhaps you could pre-sell an NKS template for Superior Drummer 3 and when you get enough pre orders you could purchase the software and make the template. I for one would  be willing to make the  investment and between this site and the Native Instruments forum you could  drum up enough interest to get it done. Who knows, might be a new  business model.

If you  read this thread you’ll see where I tried to put Jason together with the fine folks that run this operation. They did respond to my attempt and said they would send the offer up the chain of command. Silence ensued. One would have to assume that there is no interest in this proposal for some reason that goes unstated to this point. Being an NI owner this is a subject near and dear to my heart. I am not a tech type but I can tell you that the only explanation I have received concerning the somewhat less than total industry wide embracing of the NKS protocol is that it is not a true two way communication but a one way  affair. Not saying you should sell SD 3 which I own as well. That said, I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for Toontrack to allow Jason to do his thing for them.

Henrik,

If you are still monitoring this thread I would like to make you aware of freelancesoundlabs.com if you aren’t already. Jason, the site Admin has developed NKS templates for Sectrasonics, UVI, Korg, Air, Arturia, Plugin Boutique and others. He has indicated that he would be willing to develop NKS templates for Toon Tracks products if offered a NFR license. This would seem to be a win, win opportunity for all concerned parties. Please pass this info along to those whom it may concern.

Add me to the list. The NI Komplete Kontrol S MK 2 controller is now the heart of my setup as I have seen more and more products use their NKS protocol.
