Garritan files into Mach Five

Post by Finelytuned »

I just picked up the Garriton Orchestra today hoping to use the UVI extractor to convert, but Mach Five doesn't recognize the bazzar .nki files. I've never seen this type of audio file. Is anyone familiar with loading and using these samples with Mach Five?

GPO is a great product. I don't think you can import it to Mach 5. It's a self contained instrument. You have to use the Kontakt Player Plug In. In addition, I've read at the Garritan Forum that a great deal of programming care has been taken to maximize GPO's potential with the Kontakt Player. The attitude at the GPO forum seems to be, why would you ever WANT to import into Mach 5?

This has held me back from buying their incredible GOS (Garritan Orchestral Strings). Although you can import GOS to Mach 5, you loose some key features that only Giga can provide, thus stunting your ability to achive realism.

My last project a few months ago was with DP 4 in system 10.3 on a dual 2 Ghz G5. Aside from difficulty reading the tiny patch names it worked excellently. It was nice to be able to build all the layers as if I had a real orchestra.
