Maybe someone can help me with this. I have Pianoteq loading with the NKS on my Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S88 keyboard and it is awesome. My problem is, the plug in parameters are all Japanese characters. Is there a way to make that English?

Thanks. I actually watched the videos on that page before coming here, as they didn't actually clarify much for me, but I'll watch them a few more times and see if it starts making sense. But it sounds like if I use Komplete Kontrol standalone (or in a DAW that recognizes my NI keyboard), I can control and tweak Pianteq with my NI keyboard, yes?

And to be doubly clear, I can't launch Pianoteq standalone and expect to be able to control things like transport (record, start/stop, play) with my NI keyboard...I'd have to do those things from within a DAW or standalone Komplete Kontrol?

Thanks.

Following up on this as I'd like to understand "the point behind NKS." What exactly does the NKS plugin in Pianoteq allow you to do?

I have a Native Instruments S-series keyboard (mark II), and I have Kontakt and Komplete. But it's totally unclear to me how the NKS plugin helps with any of this. Does it mean I can control Pianoteq parameters, record/play/pause, etc. with my NI keyboard? Or what?

Thanks for any clarification.

Okay, let me be sure about this, Pianoteq will work with Komplete 12 but it doesn't work via Kontakt because it isn't a Kontakt sample library. And, none of that requires NI hardware. Is that correct?

Just to be clear, are you saying that Pianoteq can be integrated into a Native Instruments midi controller? I thought that Kontakt Player was included with Komplete 12. Is Komplete Kontrol the hardware controller and Komplete 12 the libraries +Kontakt Player?

I see it in Pianoteq Pro 6.5. Does this mean that Pianoteq will run in Kontakt/Komplete?

Hi Gang:

As a Blind owner of Pianoteq Pro, I would like a list of parameters that can be accessed via Komplete Kontrol since, the Komplete Kontrol keyboards are self-voicing.

Implying they even started working on it, which might not be a case at all
