<h3>1. Description</h3> |
| 40 |
|
|
nkitool is a simple console application which exports and imports the human |
| 41 |
|
|
readable XML file from and to Native Instruments Kontakt .nki instrument |
| 42 |
|
|
articulation files. So far, Kontakt v1 to v4 format versions are |
| 43 |
|
|
supported by this tool. nkitool is released in binary and source code format |
| 44 |
|
|
in the public domain. However in case you find mistakes or improvements, we |
| 45 |
schoenebeck |
2261 |
would appreciate if you share them with us!<br> |
| 46 |
|
|
<br> |
| 47 |
|
|
<u>Note:</u> Starting with Kontakt 4.2.2, <a href="http://www.native-instruments.com/forum/showthread.php?t=131374">Native Instruments have changed the file format</a>! |
| 48 |
|
|
The new format is not supported by nkitool yet! Trying to use the tool on such files <a href="http://bb.linuxsampler.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=625">will lead to a "zpipe error"</a>. |

<h3>2. Usage</h3> |
| 52 |
|
|
To extract the human readable XML file from an .nki file, simply call the tool |
| 53 |
|
|
as follows from the console: |
| 54 |
|
|
<pre> |
| 55 |
|
|
nki.exe Foo.nki |
| 56 |
|
|
</pre> |
| 57 |
|
|
You can then edit the created Foo.xml file with an ordinary text editor. To |
| 58 |
|
|
replace the XML file within the .nki file with a new / edited XML file, call |
| 59 |
|
|
the tool from the console like this: |
| 60 |
|
|
<pre> |
| 61 |
|
|
nki.exe Foo.nki Foo.xml |
| 62 |
|
|
</pre> |
| 63 |
|
|
|
| 64 |
|
|
<a name="download"></a> |
| 65 |
|
|
<h3>3. Download</h3> |
| 66 |
|
|
So far there is only a console binary for MS Windows operating systems: |
| 67 |
|
|
<ul> |
| 68 |
|
|
<li><a href="http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/nkitool/nki.exe">nki.exe</a> (Windows)</li> |
| 69 |
|
|
</ul> |
| 70 |
|
|
However since there is only one small C source file, you can easily compile it for |
| 71 |
|
|
any operating system (see below). |
| 72 |
|
|
|
| 73 |
|
|
<a name="sourcecode"></a> |
| 74 |
|
|
<h3>4. Source Code</h3> |
| 75 |
|
|
This tool consists of just one small C source file: |
| 76 |
|
|
<ul> |
| 77 |
|
|
<li><a href="http://download.linuxsampler.org/dev/nkitool/nki.c">nki.c</a></li> |
| 78 |
|
|
</ul> |
| 79 |
|
|
You can most probably compile it for any operating system. The source file depends on |
| 80 |
|
|
<a href="http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz">zlib-1.2.5</a>. Probably you can however also |
| 81 |
|
|
compile and link nkitool against other versions of zlib as well. |
