Converting audio to sampler track (NI Kontakt 3.5)

[nitro]

Is it possible to convert audio to sampler track and have it open in NI Kontakt 3.5, or maybe somehow get those slices (if the midi track being created actually slices the audio, I'm not sure) and load them to NI Kontakt?

I think what you want is to take the audio file on the track and load it into an empty Kontakt instrument. Then use Kontakt's built-in slicing functions in the Beatmachine. It creates a MIDI region that you can drag to the Kontakt track.

 

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you want to do.

Yes, that is what I want to do, but not that way. It's easier if we create transient markers in the logic's sampler editor and then click the convert to sampler track option. I would actually like to know does logic slice the audio and store it somewhere on the hard or rather just creates a new instrument within the EXS 24, which is 10 years behind Kontakt. And now there is version 4 coming out in a month!

No. EXS will still point to the original file just as if they were different regions in the Arrange. Even if you use the Export function in EXS, the slices are not saved as separate files. That's why I suggested you just use Kontakt's Beatmachine and slice it that way, which is pretty easy.

Perhaps in functionality, but I wish Kontakt wasn't 10 years behind EXS in efficiency!
