Hi everyone I was wondering if there is any way to unpack refills. I recently switched to Bitwig and
I want to get the wav files out of some of my refills. Is there any programs that can unpack refills. I don't always want to open reason rack to access some of my files. Any help is much appreciated, have a great day.

The has been some refill unpacker program, but I don't think it still works with newer Refill versions.

There's no legal Refill unpacker.

But if you just want the waves, you can just drag them from the browser into your timeline, and then export them from there.

In "The Time Before", I would often open up a few patches, find sounds I like, and then just record them as waves. That gave me a fresh drum kit ...

I then ran the files through a batch renamer so that I could drag them onto my zip drive to load into the MPC. It was only last month that I finally deleted my old compilation of recorded drum hits.

At least in the EU reverse engineering (a file format) for interoperability reasons is explicitly legal, so I would not back that broad statement. Heck, it's even legal to decompile and patch software you've purchased a license to to bugfix it and no EULA can legally prohibit this.

you can open them in a project that includes samples and then save them from the browser. hope you don't have many.
