At Knobcon 2018, we talked with Spectrasonics product specialist Eddie Spinelli, who gave us a hands-on demo of hardware integration in Omnisphere 2.5.
Hardware Synth Integration transforms over 30 well-known hardware synthesizers into controllers that are deeply integrated with Omnisphere’s newly expanded synthesis capabilities.
Here’s the Omnisphere hardware recommendation video, mentioned in Spinelli’s demo:
Omnisphere 2.5 was originally introduced earlier this year by founder Eric Persing at Superbooth 2018, but it was released a few weeks ago. Here’s an in-depth demo from Persing at Superbooth:

Introduction
Komplete Kontrol Maschine hardware and software offers users a convenient way to browse, load and start tweaking the Komplete selection of VST instruments and a small handful of 3rd party 'NKS Ready' instruments. Unfortunately there are many VSTs that will probably never be NKS compatible or will be a long way off.
Through the use of scripts, patience and time I am working through my personal collection of VST instruments as well as searching out developers and snapping up reasonably priced instruments to process these as NKS ready instruments to allow full preset browsing and tweaking from the hardware.

New V2.1 NKS Releases
As of November 1st 2017 all existing 1.x NKS releases are being updated to v2.1 which will add the following feature updates:
Library Banks
All instruments will now have the ability to select an individual library or expansion from the software/hardware. This makes it much easier to filter your sound search to a certain library within an instrument.
Improved Tagging
Tags have been cleaned up with many duplicate tags or tags such as 'Synth' and 'Synths' condensed. Over 150 garbage tags were removed across all libraries and a lot of work has now gone into synchronising tags over all instruments. Some tags that were almost empty were removed or consolidated with other tags. This is most noticeable with many 3rd party libraries for Omnisphere which contained a huge mess of tags. Some additional work has gone into adding more tag data to some instruments too such as Wavestation which did not have much tag data but has now been processed by hand to add tags to every preset.
Sound Previews
This is the biggest update and the one that required the most amount of work to achieve. Sound previews are now available for ALL presets for v2.1+ NKS libraries. This increases the download size and the installation size so keep this in mind.
Nks Omnisphere 2. 5 Engine
You will have to delete your existing NKS library files and install this latest package. Installation is the same, nothing special. You need to keep in mind that any favourites you have marked will be overwritten.More Info
