I would start by trying to import the sounds that you want into Kontakt and save them as Kontakt patches.

An easier solution (but has a cost) might be to just use g-player..
G-Player PC/MAC

You need to look at the contents of each disk and look for .gig files, those are Gigastudio instruments. Copy those files to your hard drive, then import them in Kontakt and save them as Kontakt instruments.

Except that in my experience Kontakt has never opened a SINGLE gig file from my old Giga days correctly. They should be forced to remove the claim they can import them, IMO. EXS24 and Gplayer have worked perfectly fine on the same files, fwiw--occasionally not being 100% as good as native Gigastudio...but, usually fine conversion.

I've been able to convert some old Giga libraries (like Bela D's Diva), but GS3 did have some features available (the precursor to Kontakt's powerful scripting engine) that Kontakt probably doesn't translate well.

I think G-Player is a good alternative if the library can't be imported into Kontakt.
