Hi y'all
There's a sample library I'm looking at, which comes in Kontakt 2
format. I can't find any linux apps supporting kontakt 2 format. Is this
because of patent issues, or just because nobody's had the time to do
it?
thanks
John

Well, I don't even think NI made Kontakt-sample-format public, did they ?
Would it be a solution for you to use a translation program to obtain - say
- sf2 files out of your Kontakt library ?
These do exist, IIRC.
Kind regards.
thanks
John

Probably time and need. Being a proprietory soundset it means
whatever effort put into being able to play the soundset under
linux still doesn't free up the soundset itslef. I've got 32Gb
of the Colussus 24 bit (1/2 anyway) sounds but I can't give
them to anyone who may be able to reverse engineer the format.

Is Gigasampler (ie; Linuxsampler) ?

Excellent solution. I don't hang out in the windows world enough
to have known that. I'll do some googling. Some NI format nuances
may be lost in the translation but the free linux options are so
lacking that anything is better than almost nothing.

does this (closed source, commercial).
There has to be other solutions (which I am not aware of, though).
Kind regards.
