SynthMaster One installing all NKS files, even for packs I don't own

[bob_gray]

The latest version of SynthMaster One (v1.5.4, revision 12883, running on Windows 10) seems to be installing the NKS presets and previews for every expansion pack, so all of them, even the ones I don't own, show up in Komplete Kontrol.

Obviously the additional ones don't load, and KK just displays an error message. You can delete them manually from C:\Users\Public\Documents\SynthMasterOne\NKS Presets of course (this is why "Venus Theory Trap Sounds" isn't showing in this list, for anyone who noticed), but could this be fixed in a future update? Or am I doing something wrong here?

Something else I've just realised — the NKS presets for the "Bluffmunkey Darkwave Sounds" pack don't get downloaded at all, even though this is one that I do own (to be clear, this is after clicking "Download NKS content for expansions" in the browser window). No nksf files or ogg previews in C:\Users\Public\Documents\SynthMasterOne\NKS Presets.

I assume they do exist and should be there?

Any ideas as to why this might be happening very much appreciated.

Hi,
The NKS previews we put there are for you to hear and have an idea of the sounds you don't have. Yes, you can't load expansions that you don't have right.

I'll check the issue with the "Bluffmunkey Darkwave Sounds" expansion right away.
All the best.

Thanks for replying. So it was a deliberate choice to install every NKS preset from every expansion pack? If so, I respectfully suggest that this isn't the right way to do it. The presets can show up in all sorts of different categories, whether or not I'm looking at just SynthMaster One, or all instruments. It's not a great user experience to have an error message pop up when I click on a sound I like. I think it would be better to show only what I can actually use. This is how SynthMaster 2.9 does it — the Banks dropdown in Komplete Kontrol only shows those packs which I've actually bought.

Cheers for looking into what's going on with the Darkwave Sounds pack. I appreciate it.
