Files with NKX extension store audio samples and patches as a single password-protected container file. The Native Instruments Kontakt software can be set up in Microsoft Windows-based systems to apply support for these NKX files. There are also Mac versions of this program.
A NKX file is a Kontakt Monolith Container Format file, developed by Native Instruments. It belongs to the Compressed Files category. You can extract NKX files on Windows. The most popular programs for this format are unnks – nks and nkx file unpacker and KONTAKT.
If you cannot open the NKX file on your computer there may be several reasons. The most common is the lack of a suitable software that supports NKX among those installed on your device. A simple solution is to find and download the appropriate application.
To associate KONTAKT with the NKX file extension, right click on the file, select “Open with” and “Choose another application”. Then click “More applications” and select KONTAKT. Use Kontakt Player to work with NKX files.
NKX files are encoded archives used in NI programs. Looks like there was software called unnks that could extract NKX archives, however it is no longer available. When you double-click a NKX file to open it, Windows examines the filename extension. If Windows does not recognize the extension, you receive a message to select an app to open the file. This means the operating system does not have a default app associated with NKX files.
