loading a Kontakt .nki file into M53

[ahoutriet]

Hi,

When I try to load a Kontakt 4 program I get the error message "Couldn't load program". Is there a special trick to load a Kontakt .nki program?

I tried to open it just like an Machfive program. Maybe there is another way to do it? I can't find anything about it in the manual, it just says M53 can load .nki files.

cheers,
Anton

Nobody uses a Kontakt library in MachFive? It should be possible, right?

[MIDI Life Crisis]

Not necessarily. All Ktk programs are not M5 compatible.

Thanks for the reply. Is there nothing from Kontakt that can be loaded into M53? I thought M53 could load Kontakt 1-4 files?

cheers,
Anton

It's hit and miss. M5 has a bigger CPU hit so I'd stay with the Kontakt player. Large and heavily scripted instruments should have their own players. This allows DP to use multi-threading and spread the load across cores. This is true of any VI players in DP - assuming you have a multi-core machine and Snow Leopard or better.

So to load a Kontakt .nki file is the same procedure as loading a M53 file? It's just trial and error if the Kontakt file will load?

That's been my experience.

Up to Kontakt v4.1.
(In my case, v4.10.3681)

If the Kontakt patch includes separate WAV files, try placing a copy of the NKI file into the same folder as the WAVs and import the NKI from there.
