I am not really sure that they are compatible with Kontakt 7. Did you check compatibility?

However, you can convert them to another format (wav etc.) and load them in Kontakt

Well you can't in Kontakt 7 (or 6) - it was removed long ago

I have no idea if Chicken Systems: Translator 7 can convert to Kontakt 7. Also while I have little real knowledge on the subject then also there are no version info when mentioning neither source nor target formats !. But for what it is worth here is some links ! :

ALSO ! :

Apparently then Awave Studio can also be used to convert to Kontakt formats. It supports many formats, apparently including SF2 and GIG !

Else discussion is quite old by now , and the old suggested solution was to keep an old version 4 of Kontakt around,

Thanks for answering The function to import Sf2 and Giga files, and convert them, to Kontakt existed in Kontakt 5. I looked in the Kontakt 7 manual and couldn't find it. Does this feature no longer exist?

Probably yes. I am not aware of such function in Kontakt 7, not even in Kontakt 6.

Thank you for your willingness to respond, but unfortunately your response did not help me to find this feature to import and convert files from other formats.

If I can figure it out, I'll post it here in the Q&A forum.
