Questions, answered
How do the kits get onto the OP-XY?
Kit Maker builds them on your Mac or PC as native .preset folders, one per kit. Connect the OP-XY, copy the kit folders into its presets folder, then eject it. The kits show up once the OP-XY is ejected. Once transferred, the presets are ready to use.
How many pads does a kit use?
All 16. Kits use a consistent layout from kit to kit, so a pattern you wrote with one kit plays back with another.
Are the samples inside the kit?
Yes. Each kit is a .preset folder holding its own samples and settings, so copying the folder copies the whole kit.
Do I need to own the sample packs already?
Yes. Kit Maker organizes packs you provide; it doesn’t include sounds of its own. Drop in the drum packs (or Maschine Expansions) you already own and it builds the kits.
Can it convert my Maschine Expansions?
Yes. Kit Maker scans Native Instruments Maschine Expansions and rebuilds the drum kits inside them for the OP-XY. It lets you bring over sounds from packs you already own. Native Instruments has featured it as an option for Expansion owners.
Is it a subscription?
No. Kit Maker is a one-time purchase of $39. Buy it once, use it as long as you like.
Mac and PC?
Both. Kit Maker runs on macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows.
