The Komplete Kontrol Browser gives quick access to all sounds and libraries that are available in NKS format. This applies to sounds from Native Instruments as well as third-party NKS Partners.

Third-party sounds that are not NKS-ready will not appear in the Komplete Kontrol Browser. In this article, we explain how to load third-party plug-ins which are not in NKS format.

Loading a Non-NKS Instrument

Non-NKS plug-ins are available to load into Komplete Kontrol. As long as they're in 64-bit VST format, they can be loaded.

1. Open the Komplete Kontrol software menu.
   
   
2. Go to Instruments to find and select any third-party Instruments you may find here.
   
   
   
   

Loading Non-NKS Effects

In addition to Instrument plug-ins, you can also load non-NKS Effect plug-ins. As long as they're in 64-bit VST format, they can be loaded.

1. Click the Plug symbol at the top of Komplete Kontrol. A box representing the currently loaded Instrument will appear below.
   
   
2. Click the small plus (+) sign, and select any third-party Effects you may find here.
   

   
   Note: An Instrument plug-in must be loaded first before any Effects plug-ins can be browsed this way.

   
   
   

Note: If you're on Windows and your third-party plug-ins are not available, please follow this tutorial to add them to Komplete Kontrol.
