Man I wish I saved my kontakt instruments from before v5. I updated everything at some point for the performance and compression.

Hi Moss, thanks for all your efforts!
I tried converting two different decent sampler presets to kontakt and got the following message :-
Could not load file: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.

No idea what this means, but hopefully the feedback helps you somehow?

Could you send me an example for testing?

Hi Moss, this is one of the decentsampler sets...

Thanks! Seems that the presets contain an invalid XML file since comments are not allowed before the XML header statement. But will see if I can implement a workaround...

EDIT: Workaround will be in the next update.

Thank you!!!

EXS24 support would be great, especially converting from Kontakt to EXS24. It would be so useful to me!

I would love to second this request. It's hard finding high quality commercial SFZ samples, and I would love to be able to buy and convert EXS24 (EXS) samples to SFZ format.

Would any of the open source converters found below be helpful for you in learning what needs to be parsed for the exs24 format?

Thanks Moss!! I managed to understand what the problem is with the preset code, so I've been deleting the pre-xml comments but then they throw this error:-
Unsupported <DecentSampler> child elements: midi
But if I delete the entire midi section of code it passes analysis and I can export to Kontakt 1. Thenkontakt (v6) loses all the groups? Still opens and plays sound but Kontakt doesn't see the waves in it's group, mapping or wave editors.

DL'ing 6.2.1 now...

Thanks agina Moss!!
6.2.1 gets around the XML comments issue, but still throws the midi error (Unsupported <DecentSampler> child elements: midi)? Kontakt 6 loads and plays the resulting nki just fine though!

If I delete the midi code from the dspreset the error goes away and nothing appears to break in kontakt...

As an aside, the Kontakt 2-4.1 option is unavailable (greyed out), not sure that's intended or something to do with my system?

I'll keep playing with other dspresets, decentsampler works fine but kontakt allows a lot more creativity with the samples...

The MIDI warning is just for information. The tool does output unsupported attributes, so you get an idea what will work and what does not with the results.
