I guess not, but I have to ask. I stopped using Kontakt eons ago, but I still keep the Abbey_Road_60s_Drummer_100.iso around. I'd love to be able to use those good samples again if possible.

Thanks.

Not in Linux. But if you have the full version of Kontakt running under Windows, it can resave a bunch of .ncw files as uncompressed waves.

1) Open the Windows folder containing the .ncw files. Drag and drop them all on kontakt's window. Do this all in one motion. ie, First select all the files, then simultaneously drag them all in one motion.

Kontakt will create a "default" multi containing those ncw files. For example, if you drag 25 ncw files, and the first file is named "mysound1.ncw", then kontakt creates a multi named "mysound1+24 others".

note: Don't try to convert more than 100 ncw files at a time, because kontakt does only about the first hundred.

2) goto kontakt's "Files -> Save multi as..." menu item. This presents a file dialog with many options. Don't save as a "monolithic" file. Choose the second option -- to save the instrument+samples.

Also make sure the box labeled "Compress samples" is not checked.

3) Save the multi.

kontakt will create a new folder named "New", and fill it with your .wav files.

Hmm.. . I don't have Windows anymore and not full Kontakt licence. Just the licence for the drums that I run in Kontakt free back then. I guess these good babies have gone. Time to get rid off this 1 GB+ iso for once.

Thanks for the answer.
