Ableton's Sampler Question

    Hey,

    I use Ableton's Sampler feature quite a bit but it doesn't seem to work with .nki files like kontakt instruments. On Ableton's website it says it should.

    My copy of Ableton is fully licensed and registered so it isn't some dodgy bug from a cracked version.

    Just wondering if any of you know a way around getting the .nki files to work in Sampler or know of any other file types that you can drag straight in and have a soundbank already up.

    Thanks

    Try emailing Ableton!

    The website doesn't say what version of Kontakt it supports. It's up to v5 now. Kontakt 4 and lower cannot load v5 files.

    The website does say:
    AKAI S1000, S3000, GigaStudio, EXS, SoundFont and (non-encrypted) Kontakt

    Sound font and S1000 are especially common, so try those.

    The Ableton website does say it won't load encrypted Kontakt files. I guess this means the biggies such as VSL.

    It will import EXS files easily. Kontakt ones are far more problematic as they may involve scripting, round robin etc.
