Most of the mod routings and other controls on the EXS front panel are set to garbage values - even the Velocity > Sample Select mod routing is usually changed to nonsense. In any case, the resulting EXS Instruments will need pretty extensive massaging before they will be useable. In extreme cases, I have exported each sample group from Kontakt as a separate NKI file and converted these. In some cases Translator may crash or refuse to convert the most complex Kontakt Instruments if this happens you can try to strip out the scripts in Kontakt and save the stripped Instruments before attempting conversion. Step sequencers, front-panel effects controls, built-in reverbs - all gone. Obviously, all of the fancy-shmancy stuff going on with custom-scripted user interfaces in Kontakt goes away. The only practical solution to preserving multiple mic positions is to either assign each mic position's samples / zones / groups to separate outputs (and deal with the hell that this involves in EXS), or to create separate EXS Instruments for each mic position. But there is no real way to control the relative levels of individual sample groups from MIDI CC or front panel controls in EXS. If the source Instruments have multiple mic positions, these will survive the translation process successfully, and are usually assigned to separate groups, so these can be dealt with in a similar manner to the legato transition groups. But if you just try to play a converted Instrument with these samples / groups in place you'll hear absolute mayhem. Fortunately, these zones that point to those samples are usually in separate groups and can be located and deleted easily. You'll have to clean out the resulting EXS Instrument by deleting all of the groups / zones that deal with these. If the source Instruments contain legato transition samples, these will be converted, but EXS does not have scripting capabilities and can't deal with playing back legato transitions like Kontakt can. Converted Instruments may sound and behave a little different in this regard. Round-robin sample group assignments will be preserved, but you may have to fiddle with the "Select Group By" parameters in the Groups view in the EXS Editor window, and re-set-up the order in which the Groups will trigger, since the methods that Kontakt and EXS use to assign the order differ significantly. After the process is complete and I'm satisfied with the results, that intermediate "Exported" folder can safely be deleted. I always wind up with three folders - the original source (which I leave untouched), the "Exported" folder (which is the result of my Save As or Collect Samples / Batch Compress operation in Kontakt), and the "Converted" folder (which is the result of the Translator operation, containing a duplicate of the WAV files in the "Exported" folder alongside the EXS Instruments that reference these samples which Translator creates). During conversion you can tell Translator to copy / convert the wav files to a new location (which I always do), but you still need to convert the source NCW files to WAV. Make sure you don't overwrite your originals - create and select a new folder in which to dump your converted files, and then point Translator to that folder. You can use Kontakt's "Collect Samples / Batch Compress" function to convert whole directories in one shot. You must first save your Kontakt Instruments and samples to a new directory with the samples in uncompressed WAV format.

It cannot convert protected NKI files - anything that is "Kontakt Player Compatible" and / or requires a serial number to be entered into NI Service Center / NI Access will not be converted. Translator is Mac/Windows I believe.ĮDIT - I just found that there is an "experimental" version of Awave Studio for Mac.

There may be other software which can do this on Windows (like Awave Studio maybe?) I wouldn't know. I use it quite a bit, and have for many years. TL DR = Translator works, but it usually makes a mess, and you need to be a bit of a jock with the EXS Editor to clean things up after the process.Ĭhicken Systems Translator is the only software that does this on Mac.
