'.nki' files are not on the list of file formats importable by M5v3.
Does anyone know of a way of pre-converting '.nki' libraries into a format the M5v3 will swallow?
Thanks for your advice.

Re: .nki Import
IIRC, older (perhaps V4) nki files did work with MachFive. So maybe that’s something you could do in NI or some more accessible utility. I had also done this using Logic — I was able to import the nki file then export to somthing MachFive could import. All this was a very long time ago.

Re: .nki Import
I'm hesitant to suggest this, but contact UVI privately and see if they might be willing to give you some sort of upgrade path to Falcon? MachFive is pretty much an end of life product from my understanding. Even though the upgrade window has passed, rumors are UVI is quite reasonable and understanding and may make accommodations.lampfilmusic wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 11:25 am '.nki' files are not on the list of file formats importable by M5v3.

Re: .nki Import
Thanks Bayswater and James for the suggestions. Much appreciated.
Will probably try to find a way to convert the files.

Re: .nki Import
There are at least six different Kontakt file formats. Plus .nki can be a copy protected file as well. M53 reads regular user created .nki files, but it cannot convert NI Kontakt factory content or most third party libraries.
M2 Studio Ultra, RME Babyface FS, Slate Raven Mti2, NI SL88 MKII, Linnstrument, MPC Live II, Launchpad MK3. Hundreds of plug ins.
