Converting compressed Kontakt samples back to wav-files

Just a little tip, in case you want to use samples compressed in Kontakt 4's ncw format in other samplers:
Resave the patch including the samples as follows:
Click on the tool icon on the upper left,the GUI opens->choose save as-> "patch and samples" - untick the little box "compress samples"->determine a location other than the original folder->the samples will be saved in wav format and you can use them in your DAW or any other sampler.

  1. Thank you, nice tip! It's too bad that they introduce some kind of new formats instead of letting us use the classic wave format.

  6. I read elsewhere:

    http://audiosex.pro/index.php?/topic/12224-sample-loop-points-wav-to-ncw-to-wav/

    that the .wav files will not include loop points. That would limit their usefulness in other samplers.
