What is KMP file?
The KMP (Korg Trinity/Triton Keymap File) file extension is a type of data file used by Korg Krome, Korg Triton and Korg Trinity Digital Music Workstations. These files are used to store the MIDI-to-keyboard mapping information that determines which sounds play when a key on the keyboard is pressed, and how much data is passed for each sound. KMP files consist of data formatted in text containing .FF#, FZ#M and ZAL commands. [ ⏩ ] KMP file extension
What is NKI file?
NKI (KONTAKT Instrument File) is a file format developed by Native Instruments primarily used for sample-based instruments used by their sampler software, KONTAKT. NKI files are composed of digital audio samples and settings used to create various sound effects. The format prevents audio samples from becoming corrupted due to incorrect changes to the settings, thus increasing stability. [ ⏩ ] NKI file extension
How to convert the file from KMP to NKI?
To successfully convert the KMP file to NKI, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.KMP). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case NKI (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than NKI).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. KMP to NKI. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting KMP files to NKI files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension NKI, while before this step we had the KMP file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new NKI file, or not.
