Does anyone know of an open source library that can be used to programmatically write sound data to file formats that can be imported into sampling programs?
The output would be something such as soundfont files or esx, kontakt, etc...
Ideally it would be c# or java?

I doubt there is such a thing out there for Kontakt anyway. As far as I know the NKI format is proprietary, so one would have to reverse engineer it, which is likely not a small task. I think both Extreme Sample Converter and the Chickensys sample converters claim to be able to write out NKIs, so they've done the work, but they probably don't want to give their efforts away for free.

The soundfont format is public knowledge. There are tools that write it such as Polyphone. However I don't see an API associated with those tools, they all seem to be strongly coupled to the GUI which makes automation difficult.
