It’s rare I use my third party plug ins outside Komplete Kontrol. Don’t be put off by having the plug in running inside the Komplete Kontrol software - it works fine and honestly it’s a great one stop location for all your third party plug ins. Omnisphere, Falcon, UVI Vintage Vault, Roland Cloud stuff and Analog Lab work by getting NKS packs from Freelance Soundlabs, which I’m assuming is what you’ve already found. The reason I bring up all those other plug ins is - out of that list above - only V Collection and Zebra are natively NKS compatible. NKS compatibility basically means that the third party (non-Native Instruments) plug in will work in Komplete Kontrol - meaning you can search presets, preview presets, filter presets, and the keyboard knobs and stuff are pre-mapped for use with the plug in. I have an S49 MkII keyboard (basically the M32 but bigger and with a screen) and have Analog Lab, V Collection, Omnisphere, Zebra, Falcon, Vintage Vault, Roland Cloud etc. Look at Komplete Kontrol as basically a wrapper for the VST so you can use your keyboard with it and have all the features. The M32 and Analog Lab will work fine, but yes you’re correct that Komplete Kontrol software has to be running (either standalone or in a DAW) for all the knobs and stuff on the keyboard to work with the VST, otherwise it’s just a basic midi controller. Oh and Arturia NKS (at least for Mac) is busted until they implement vst migration - which they’re working on. It’s got better tagging to narrow things down. I quit using KK in Ableton live, but I do still use Analog Lab when I know I’m looking for something Arturia. Be it Massive or something Arturia VCollection etc it’s a lot of pages of settings to go through. I use Maschine standalone software for sketching and mostly don’t mess with tweaking synths much with knobs. As far as I understand you can’t use NI keyboards with tablets or direct connected to synths because they need NI background service. So if you aren’t using a bunch of NI plugins you might be better off just using analog lab with an Arturia lab series keyboard for integration. That said you still have to use the Komplet Kontrol plug-in as your host to load plugins and use nks stuff. I wasn’t aware of a 3rd party nks provider and don’t know that I’d base my choice of controller with it. Some of the instruments you will find are as follows:ĪRP 2600 V, B-3 V, CS-80 V, CZ V, Farfisa V, Jun-6 V, Jup-8 V, Matrix-12 V, Mellotron V, Mini V, Modular V, Prophet V, Prophet VS, SEM V, Solina V, Stage-73 V, Synclavier V, Synthi V, Piano V, Vox Continental V, Wurli V, Buchla Easel V, Clavinet V, DX7 V and CMI V).If you have a larger keylab you get more than 8 controls - think it’s 16- 17. Unlike the bigger V Collection, Analog Lab is not natively NKS compliant out of the box, however there is an excellent NKS pack available from Freelance Soundlabs which provides access to all presets, controls for a decent amount of parameters as well as the niceties of the pre-hear sounds. Arturia have a sale right now on their Analog Lab V Synth Anthology software, with a decent 50% reduction that makes it £86.69 inc VAT here in the UK.Īnalog Lab can be thought of as a comprehensive taster of their full V Collection package currently on version 8, but in many respects it’s so much more than this, containing as it does over 7,500 presets taken from the full package, as well as additional third party soundsets.
