Kontakt 6 backward compatibility

Grandal

Hello,

I just unintalled Kontakt 6 then installed Kontakt 7 then surprisingly I got my Kontakt in missing situation inside my project.

I was using Kontakt 6 & instruments parameters was saved on it, but now I unable to retrieve all instances of Kontakt 6. is there a backward compatibility from v7 to v6?

There is, but your host needs to support VST3 plugin migration capability (assuming you're using VST3). Currently the only hosts which support plugin migration are: Cubase, Nuendo, Maschine, Komplete Kontrol. No others.

You will need to keep K6 installed in case of using any other hosts, for the time being - until developers of those hosts decide to support the VST3 plugin migration capability.

I’m using Bitwig as my DAW, it can load VST 3 versions as well.

The problem that I saved lots of my projects with Kontakt 6. & Unfortunately I uninstalled V6. I thought Kontakt 7 can load the parameters normally. Now they all gone.

I searched for Kontakt 6 but can’t find it. Is it still available else where? Is there any other solutions left?

Bitwig doesn't support VST3 migration either.

You should be able to reinstall Kontakt 6 from Native Access. It shows as "Kontakt", without a number.
