It’s harder than it first seems.īut yes, I’d encourage more help with this. I have started to look at doing some myself over the last few weeks and got a bit too bogged down in fine details. Bob Ellis has done a great job, as has Keith Theodosiou. There are a few guys that are starting the long process of converting these cool instruments for wider use in the community. There is also a format conversion app called Translator 7 by Chicken Systems, but this costs $150. Going from K5/6 to EXS is more problematic especially if heavy scripting and effects have been applied. It should load and then you can save it as Kontakt instrument. Then it is simply a matter of dragging the EXS file from the Kontakt browser window into the Multi window.
Copy/replace the older “kconvert.bundle” (version 3.0.0.14) into HD>Library>Application Support>Native Instruments>Kontakt 5 Navigate to: HD>Library>Application Support>Native Instruments>Kontakt 5 and back up the newer “kconvert.bundle” (version 3.1.0.4) by copying it somewhere else.ħ. In there is the file you need called “kconvert.bundle”.Ħ. A new Finder window should open up (in your Downloads folder) with folder “Native Instruments” and in that folder is a Kontakt 5 folder. Navigate to Content>Packages, Right-click on “Kontakt 5 System Extensions.pkg” and choose “Show Package Contents”.ĥ. Right-click on “Kontakt 5 5.1.0 Installer Mac.mpkg” and choose “Show Package Contents”.ģ. Just login and type Kontakt in the search field, then find “KONTAKT 5.1.0 Mac OS X Update”.Ģ. Or, if you own Kontakt 5 then you should be able to download an older version here: HD>Library>Application Support>Native Instruments>Kontakt 4 If you have Kontakt 4 then you can find a working “kconvert.bundle” file in: This is the file that does the converting and in later Kontakt versions it contains a bug. In order to enable the EXS24 to Kontakt conversion feature again you will need an older “kconvert.bundle” file. Unfortunately, I have read that due to a bug in a key software component this feature broke in about Kontakt version 5.2 and it will crash K5 and/or your DAW if you try to import EXS files in K5.2 to 5.8.įortunately there is still a way (Mac instructions only): It still usually requires further careful tweaking to ensure the sound is faithful to the original EXS version. I’ve had some good results doing this, although it’s not always a completely perfect conversion. Kontakt 5 (and K4) will import EXS instruments (after a few hoops have been jumped through – see below).
It helps if you have both versions so you can manually copy the settings with both open side-by-side. Kontakt 6 to Kontakt 5 requires a manual build as there is no conversion software (that I know of) that can do this automatically.
