I read if you download Sennheiser DrumMic’a! you can upgrade to kontakt for less, I'm going to try that

To Everyone, about NKI files.

OK, Kontakt plays .NKIs natively BUT....

Check - or should that be 'Chick'(!) - out this site for a program that will convert most .NKI files into other forms for other samplers.

I'm nothing to do with them, I don't even have the program myself yet but it looks fascinating!

Yours respectfully

Chris.

Translator won't convert any Kontakt Player NKIs because they are encoded.

Also it can't convert any non-encoded NKIs past version 4.2, IIRC
My main tools: Kontakt, Omnisphere, Samplemodeling + Audio Modeling. Unify = godsend. Tari's libraries also rock.

O well, told you I hadn't tried it. It just looked good. I've got UN-NKI though, that's not done too bad, in fact it was doing so well the guy who wrote it was given a 'cease and desist' order to stop updating it, I seem to remember!

Got the last version ever made.

Yours respectfully
Chris.

And including that version too, yes.

UNNKI also doesn't work with NKI files of version K4.2 and above.

Fair enough, Evildragon, I'm only on XP SP3, not that advanced here!

Yours with respect

Chris.
