    I'm assuming that with giga files you mean Gigastudio/sampler files? If not, forget what I wrote below...

    I think that Kontakt crashes during gigastudio import are dependent on what you're trying to import. Kontakt crashes for instance when I try to import any of the programs of the gigastudio version of Jason Miles' Psychic Horns. As far as I know this is a bug in Kontakt and cannot be prevented by changing settings.

    Try to use an external converter such as CDXtract or the Chicken Systems Translator to convert Gigastudio to Kontakt. When I use CDxtract on the Psychic Horns I have no problems in Kontakt anymore.

    It crashes because kontakt sucks (till NI does not show up with a working update).
    Go and buy HAL 2 - which has the best gig-import in the world. (not commercial)

    Is Halion 2 really that good? Is it a lot more stable and accurate than Kontakt?
