Anyone got an easy way to get FL Studio ".instr" files into Reason, ideally NN-XT?

I've figured out a lumpy way:

1. Unzip the ".instr" file.
2. Inside it are the raw samples plus an SFZ file - the plain text sampler format.
3. Convert the SFZ into SF2 (soundfont) with Polyphony.
4. Import the SF2 into NN-XT.

It works but it's fiddly. With the drum patches it's probably quicker to drag the individual samples into Kong (although some of the filenames are not great for identifying the samples!)

Fl studio works as a vst in reason since 9.5
Reason has become a vst in 11.

Yeah, not the most helpful suggestion given that I don't own FL Studio.

I have discovered that Bitwig will load SFZ files and the associated samples. Doesn't really help me but it was an interesting diversion. :D

You talk a lot, but not much of it is useful. :roll:
