    Sorry for crossposting this in both KVR and NI, but I'm trying to get as much information before making a purchase.

    I've been interested in this Ethnic Instruments Sonic Refill for some time:

    http://www.sonicreality.com/viewDetails.php?ProductID=187

    It's well priced and has nearly all the ethnic instruments I'm after. However, I don't own Reason.

    I do, however, own Kontakt2 which claims to be able to load Reason's NNXT format. "The Sound List/Demos" tab on that Sonic Reality page gives the intruments listings on the CD as *.SXT

    Can someone please verify that these load in Kontakt2 for me?*

    I have a sense that, like some NKI libraries, it may have some form of encryption that means that it can't be loaded in a different sampler.

    Thanks. :)

    * - Oops, I mean, someone who owns any of the Sonic Reality Refills and Kontakt2 who can confirm they can be imported. They seem to contain just a list of *.sxt files.

    Just to confirm, apparently these libraries cannot be used.

    Kontakt will load .sxt files but without REASON there is no way to save the .sxt files outside of the ReFills. You can save .sxt files directly from the NN-XT modules anywhere you like that reference the samples in the encrypted ReFill. So the answer is yes if you have REASON and no if you don't. At least I've never seen any ReFills sold with the .sxt files outside.

    Not only would you have to save .sxt files outside the ReFill, you have to save the .wav files outside of it as well, which Reason doesn't allow you to do.

    ReFill's are like a locked box that only Reason can access.

    Hi guys.

    As it turns out, I got a really good deal from esoundz for one of Sonic Reality's AKAI libraries from which most of those refill samples originate.

    So it's all good. :)

    You would know since you are the conversion guy. The 2.1 manual addendum had that information and didn't mention that.
