Hello guys, here's the thing:

- I purchased a legal copy of NI Kontakt 5 and legal copies of sample libraries that are protected (encrypted) by Kontakt.

- However, when I compose music, I do not and cannot use Kontakt -- I use another sampler. This sampler of course cannot read encrypted NKI, but it can import SFZ.

- I also own a legal copy of Chickensys Translator 6, which can convert unencrypted NKI to SFZ (it cannot convert encrypted NKI, of course).

Now, I managed to extract and decrypt the encrypted samples using inNKX 1.21. A big thanks to its authors! Are they around here, btw?

But, strangely, inNKX does not seem to be able to offer decryption of NKIs!
So now the only thing I am missing is how to decrypt the NKI so that Translator can convert it to SFZ?

And this is so important now, given how NI is trying to vendor-lock everyone in their software. inNKX could be crucial in fighting this DRM cancer.

I can run software on Windows, MacOS X, and Linux (Android and iOS too, but I don't expect them to be required).
