The NKM file extension stands for Kontakt Multi Instrument. It is a type of audio file that is used by Native Instruments software sampler, Kontakt. The NKM files contain multi-samples and configuration data which allows a musician to control and manipulate sound as desired.
Audio recordings in NKM format are made up of individual samples or "instruments" that have been digitally encoded and stored. The NKM file includes all the information needed to tell the sampler how to access the samples and how to reproduce them correctly on playback. This includes sample names and descriptions, patches, keyswitches, and associated effects such as EQ, chorus, stereo panning, etc. The NKM files also allow for additional manipulation of the sound including pitch bend range, velocity response curve and note-off duration.
Similar File Extensions
There are several other file extensions that are closely related to the NKM format, including:
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .NKM) 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 .NKM 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 .NKM 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 .NKM 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 .NKM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .NKM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .NKM 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 .NKM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .NKM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .NKM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
