Converting Unity samples!

[porter321]

Just thought I would throw this out there and see if anyone has any ideas.

I have about 22 gigs of homemade samples (mostly hip hop drums) that are in the Unity .uty format.
I recently got a whole new system and am now with Kontakt, which said they can convert unity files, but only from the .uds format. My unity program has never put anything in that format and the only format that the Unity manual lists is my .uty format not .uds (which NI kontakt says it needs).

So any ideas on how to get my .uty files converted to .uds, so that I can then convert them to Kontakt???

My other alternative is paying someone to do data entry and individually convert each unity sample to a .wav and then map it out in kontakt. I estimate this job would take about 3-4 months full time work and would run around $4000-$5500 paying someone $10 an hour.

ChickenTranslator claims it can convert from .uty (Unity Sessions) to NI Kontakt directly. Also checked with two others, and I won't name them since they don't support Unity at all.

thank you. At the moment they say it only works for windows but that mac should be available shortly. This is at least the best news i've gotten on this subject. hopefully they will come through for me.
It's probably not possible to convert my mac files to windows files, so that i could translate them with chickentranslator now???

Translator does not claim it does .uty (Unity Session) files yet, either on Windows or Mac.

We (it's the company I work for) have coded about 80% of the Unity Session code; we just haven't completed it because of other projects.

Email me at support@chickensys.com if you really want this, and I'd like to go back and forth with you and get this going. Looks like you could use it!

The Mac version will be able to do this by the time we get Unity Session support.
