File extension .NKC

Full Name Developer Category
Native Instruments KONTAKT Library Data Format Native Instruments Audio Files
.NKC

NKC stands for Kontakt Library Data File, a file extension associated with Native Instruments Kontakt, a state-of-the-art music sampling and instrument platform. The NKC file generally contains dynamic audio data, effects data, instrument definitions, and loop settings, as well as any other data necessary to recreate or incorporate music into an application or on a website. It is the primary file type used for storing resources for the Kontakt platform.

NKC files are utilized by users when creating their own custom content, as they contain the main resource data used in Kontakt projects. This includes everything from piece definitions and sound settings such as sample bit depth, sample rate, polyphony, and panning to various other data describing the musical performance qualities of a given piece or patch. NKC files are also utilized when importing existing instruments from third-party libraries so that they can be embedded in a Kontakt project.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .NKC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .NKC extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .NKC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .NKC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .NKC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .NKC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .NKC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .NKC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .NKC file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .NKC file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .NKC file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
