Can I import Kontakt libraries directly into Machfive?

Post by rosindabow »

Can I import Kontakt libraries directly into Machfive? Can this be done with both versions 1 and 2 of Machfive? I've seen some threads stating that .you cannot convert .nks but you can convert .nki? Is there a simple set of instructions somewhere to read and follow? Thanks!

I'd like to know the same thing. I just acquired a ton of Kontakt samples and would like to know how to convert the .nki samples, or is it just a matter of drag and drop in the MachFive? I have MachFive 1.

This is my first post, and I'm glad to be here.

Just open the .nki preset file in MachFive. However, .nks files are encrypted Kontakt files so I wouldn't expect them to work.
