Kontakt to Emagic EXS-24 mkI & II Translation
Status: Implemented in the current version of Translator.
This translation is only available on the Windows
version; it will be available on the Mac version shortly.
Kontakt 2 Support
Translator support to conversions from all Kontakt formats, including 1.2, 1.5, and Kontakt 2 Instruments, Multis, and Banks.
This includes Kontakt 2 "monolith" formats (large .nki/.nkm/.nkb files with the sample data embeded in them), and Kontakt files that reference
samples with .nks files. IMPORTANT: Most .nks files contain encrypted samples, and Translator DOES NOT decrypt these. So although you can
translate the Kontakt files, the resulting sample data will be useless.
KeySwitching and Release Trigger
Support
This format supports keyswitching, which
is a function where pressing a non-sounding key (or a Patch
Select in the case of Ensoniq) instructs the sampler engine to
switch what samples play on what key.
This format also supports other similar features such as release trigger samples, samples manipulated by the sustain pedal, etc.
Since this source format may contain this type of information, it is supported by this destination.
