Thanks to all for responses.
Bob, I ´m not  a routinier in working with samples,
so muchas gracias, hope that such a sample noob like me
can get it to work/translate.

I will download the program again and make sure it still works, and if so, will post instructions for you to try to convert the Kontakt presets to Dim Pro presets.


It will take me a day or two, but hang in there - I AM working on it.

I just went to that link I posted earlier for the translator program - it does NOT yet currently do any translations.

I am SOOOO sorry I did not look at that link prior to adding it to a post here.

I'll hunt around for another way, if there is one.  I DID check out the sounds you are trying to convert - REAL nice.

Bob Bone

Look at all those tuning options! :-)

Bob, no reason to be sorry, thanks for your attention.
That´s what I found out yesterday, but thought it´s my noobnes and  
I had not much time yesterday and so didn´t write here.

Nevertheless I´m some steps onwardly:

1. The situation now is that I have the choice to work very quick with the kontakt player
    what I try at first  .

2. if that does not work to look for other good dulcimer samples 
    I already tried the free dulcimer of the content club sound bank of my choice .
    which does not fit at all.
    The dulcimer sound which fits is the one of the yamaha dx9.

3. to face To buy kontakt 5, means to buy komplete 9 imo.
     Konrad, thanks for that hind, yes I heard that this is a must not the first time,
     but there are so much great samples on X1, X2, free content packages aso which I nearly never use
     (except the drums) and I only need this special dulcimer sound. 

and Scott,thanks for making it clear, that sonar won´t manage.

I honestly don't understand why they won't sell just the sampler. 

There's a market for it. A lot of people would buy Kontakt if they didn't have to buy the whole library as well. They should sell just the player & the libraries individually. 

Of course, they can still offer the Elements package, the full Kontakt package, & the Ultimate package. 

they do sell kontakt separately for $399.  you're thinking the komplete packages, which add more libraries and synths.  they are a great bargain.  kontakt standalone only comes with the factory library that's been around for years and years.  kinda like selling dimension or session drummer without patches and kits.

Thundekyss is talking about Kontakt's application and content (factory libraries) not being separately sold. I agree, if the K5 application was sold alone for, say, $20, I would definitely buy it because I want to edit the AR/Studio Drummer libraries.

That is SUCH a bummer.

On the other hand, Komplete REALLY does come with some crazy good synths, in addition to Kontakt.

I wish there was some way I knew of to take those sounds and convert them for you.  I will keep looking, just in case.

Kontakt is an extremely sophisticated sampler with many years of development.  If you are only willing to pay $20 for it you are not very serious about your tools.

Come upgrade time or Christmas you can pick up Kontakt for $200.  Which I did.  Didn't need another rompler so much as some of the off-the-wall libraries like hollow sun etc. were needed.  It was a good investment.

My biggest regret (well, w/ NI not in life) was not springing for Komplete.  I keep hoping I can pick for less than the regular price because of Kontakt.  Nope, they don't seem to care about my wallet.  At some point I'll shell out the komplete $400 for Komplete, hopefully w/ the next generation Kontakt.  Penny wise and pound foolish of me.  I dont' really need more soft synths but ...

You're right. I totally forgot that Kontakt is also a great sampler because I only use it as a library player/editor. So, maybe $150-$200 for new users and $50 for upgraders (K5 didn't improve that much from K4, did it?) And during the half price sale it becomes $25. (Never mind, I just want to say it's sooo painful to pay for the whole K5 library when I already have exactly or almost the same library in K4 and just want to edit libraries only supported by K5.)
