Convert NICNT to NKI

Can you convert NICNT to NKI?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert NICNT to NKI?
No - not a direct conversion.

A .nicnt is a library descriptor, not an instrument - you cannot 'convert' it into a playable .nki. The .nki instruments already exist inside the library folder; the .nicnt only registers the library so KONTAKT lists them. Open the .nki files in KONTAKT instead.
