    How do you convert old Akai & Ensoniq BIN/CUE images on a Mac? If I had a PC, it would be easy, since I could use EXS, CDXtract, Translator or Awave.

    Kontakt should open them, but I've tried mounting them with Daemon Tools, then opening Kontakt 5, but they don't show up under the Files section like they used to. (Kontakt 5.3.0)

    I found a way. Use Toast, convert the BIN to a .toast, then rename that into .iso - you can then copy that onto Kontakt's "Images" folder under Library / Application Support / Native Instruments. Then it shows in Kontakt under "Virtual Drives".
