MachFive2 play .nki files?

Post by trevorz »

Does anyone know if MachFive2 can play .nki files? I was hoping to load this sound library into M5 instead of the Intakt Instrument that came with it.

On the spec, it says yes.

I haven't tried it. Has anybody used it?

MOTU says no for what I have

The specs say it can, so I contacted MOTU tech support about this and they said it will not "if Machfive doesn't recognize it" (quote from MOTU support). So two of my nki sound libraries will not load. I'm not sure how to go about knowing if Machfive will recognize them or not before I purchase them. I'm thinking I will have to purchase Kontakt. Pain.
