Need a Kontakt instrument that reads/edits .exb files

    Is there a Kontakt instrument that reads and edits .exb .ebl and .e4b files?

    My Emulator X sometimes will open in my DAW and sometimes not and I spent a fortune on a sample library that is nearly locked away in neglect and lack of support on the part of Creative Labs/EMU. Creative Labs appears to have offloaded the best part of their company, in my humble opinion.

    What is the best way to load these .exb .ebl and .e4b samples and patches into a "complete" searchable database in Native Instruments Komplete?

    This is my first post on the forum. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

    My DAW of preference: Cakewalk by Bandlab,
    My PC: Intel I9 (12 cores 24 threads), 64GB of 3000mhz ram, Nvidia 1080ti
    My sounds: KOMPLETE 12 ULTIMATE - COLLECTOR'S EDITION

    Thanks ByteChop and EviDragon for your answers. Before I asked this question I googled this query and I saw ChickenSys and first, it is pricey and second I am not sure it's functionality works with Kontakt on all of EMU's file types.

    It would be really nice to have an Instrument listed in Kontakt's roster named, "Emulator X"...

    Kontakt should buy EMU... save EMU it from its untimely grave...

    The vast array of sounds contained in the EMU library are quite impressive and EMU as an instrument is exactly the type of thing Kontakt is known for offering. Please consider this NI... :)

    E-MU was as good as dead as soon as Creative bought it. It won't happen.
