Tell me about NKS and MPE in HISE

[tomekslesicki]

@d-healey I can only chime on the MPE thing. The plugins will support MPE without any additional setup, you just need to add MPE modulators to the parameters you want them to work with. On my plugins, I have a MPE mode switch, which basically disables CC1 modulators and enables MPE ones.

@d-healey The thing with MPE is that to test it you need an MPE capable controller/keyboard
I tested a while ago with my Rise and it works great. Maybe there's a virtual controller available somewhere, or perhaps through a DAW like ableton :man_shrugging:

@ustk I’d add to that that the experience of playing an MPE keyboard is way different than your standard keys + mod wheel, so I’d recommend getting at least the Seaboard Block to get it right for the users

@ustk I've just ordered a K-Board-C so I can test this stuff out.

@d-healey I'm sure you'll make great thing out of it with your awesome sample based plugins !

@d-healey will do the same :)

@d-healey
Hey to make your plugin NKS compatible you will need to create a mapping in komplete kontrol. Basically any vst is compatible with NKS its nothing you'll need to do during development. NKS is basically a midi mapping to the predefined controls inside NI Plugins.
You'll then need to distribute these NKS mappings with your project which might be tricky.

Here is a really rough dev info about nks, I think to get the most out of it you'll need to contact NI

Check this tutorial on how to create a nks mapping.

@Christoph-Hart No global modulators for MPE?

@tomekslesicki Are you using the MPE floating tile?

i use a seaboard and love it. @d-healey just be sure your daw supports mpe or youll be disappointed. not all do

[d.healey]

@Adam_G It's not something I think I'll ever use, but people want it so it's going in my plugin :)

@d-healey its actually really fun to play with all the expressiveness
