NKS files are Kontakt Monolith Containers defined by Native Instruments. They are audio sample archives used in Native Instruments software like Kontakt and Traktor. NKS files are encrypted and cannot be extracted in other programs. They are categorized as Audio Files; the most popular software is Traktor. Users can also choose KONTAKT or unnks-nks and nkx file unpacker. These files contain audio samples for synthesizers with custom encoding. Audio engineers can separately store samples from patch details; allowing waveform reuse. NKS files work on Mac and Windows. Google Chrome users from China access them most on Windows 10. Double-clicking NKS does not open it as Windows needs an associated default program.
