Native Instruments has expanded its Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) to include effects; previously, only instruments were supported. 

All Native Instruments effects are now NKS-ready, while confirmed NKS effects partners for 2018 include Waves, Surreal Machines, Eventide, u-he, Output, Sugar Bytes, Arturia, Unfiltered Audio, Softube, AAS, iZotope, Ohm Force, Imdsp, Twisted Tools, and 112dB. They join the ranks of over 75 existing NKS partners whose instruments already support NKS.

The free software update allows musicians and producers to control Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) and VST effects directly from KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboards and software. NKS effects provide full integration with the Native Browser and intelligent parameter mapping for KOMPLETE KONTROL and MASCHINE hardware.
