Yes very nice - I had made NKS for nearly all of the native ones already but now I don't need to keep on top of this which is good
There are some I prefer my template over theirs though - Opal for example. I have been comparing my template to theirs and think they reflect different ways of thinking about performing with an instrument. As a keyboard performing musician, I tend to want to have the things that are most useful for sound shaping up front, but that depends on the kind of instrument and the needs of the musician (which for me is what dictates my design choices with controller templates). If this was a VA I would also have put the filters up front, as they have done here, and maybe a lot of people think in a 'filters first' way about synths because they are brought up on VA as the dominant synth paradigm.
However Opal is a wavetable synth, so for me a lot of the really interesting sound shaping possibilities are in the OSCs, especially being able to sweep and shape the wavetable manually always for me is very rewarding musically in a wavetable, because for this type of synthesis it is the wavetable that contributes more interesting variation to the sound than the filters. Same with an additive. So for those sort of instruments those are the things I want to place up front. But maybe that's just me?

Anyway what's good about this is also maybe this closer relationship with NI means they are also closer to giving Luna better integration with NI controller keyboards?
