NKS Support for UAD Plugins
The title says it all.
With NKS support, any NKS compatible hardware could browse a UAD plugin's presets and load the preset with a pre-mapped set of parameters. Physical control would be possible during either tracking,v mixing or mastering. Also, if Softube's Console hardware can control the UA Console 2 app in Apollo Central mode, it should be possible with any NKS compatible hardware.
NKS systems have some big advantages over the Softube system.
First of all, the Softube system is limited with fixed mappings. The NKS mappings can be customized to more easily fit the user's workflow. Second, only plugins from Softube and UA are supported by Console 1. Hundreds of manufacturers support NKS with their plugins, not just Native Instruments.
Third, the NKS system supports virtual instruments and effects plugins. Fourth, NKS has smart browsing features unavailable with Console 1. Fifth, you can use multiple NKS hardware devices simultaneously so you can control more than a single plugin.
