Tell me about NKS and MPE in HISE

[ustk]

@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
