    The title says that you have Studio One, yet your issue is with the updating the instruments and Kontakt.

    I am a bit confused.

    Explain the issue, please, good sir.

    Which Kontakt version do you use - 6 or 7?

    If Kontakt 6: Most of the Kontakt libraries were updated to make use of the new MK3 keyboard functions. Unfortunately, that came with the caveat that these libraries now need Kontakt 7.6 or higher to run.

    You can download previous versions of those, compatible with Kontakt 6, from here:

    @Tonay What version of Kontakt are you using? If you click on the NI logo in Kontakt's window in Studio One, what version does it show? Does it show the same as in standalone? Do you have the same issue in Kontakt in standalone? What is your operating system?

    Related to this, I've got problems with Studio One 6.5 and Komplete Kontrol tracks - load a project, click on a track, and get the dialog to 'update KK / Hardware Connection Service' - even though it's up-to-date and I've forced an update (and now on instructions from support have run a 'registry tool' presumably to tidy up registry entries, and also running Studio One in Admin mode). 6.5.2 even crashes. So, this might all be related with Kontakt & other NI software. Hopefully can be resolved soon, otherwise I'll be pushing for a refund on this VERY expensive piece of hardware in front of me (KK S61 MK3) + Studio One.

    @Ongey Well, the only thing related to your issue here is Studio One 6.5, this was about Kontakt 6 vs Kontakt 7 libraries compatibility.

    Luckily I stumble upon your post here but it would make sense to either create a dedicated thread that explains your issue or jump in one that matches it.

    If you open Komplete Kontrol in standalone, is everything functional? Have you tried to reinstall the hardware connection service in Native Access?

    Jeremy_NI point taken, I misunderstood and though that it was the same request to update Kontakt / KK when there is no need. Have done loads of reinstalls, checks etc, and standalone KK is fine. I have a support call open with both NI and PreSonus, and will look out for similar threads or start my own in case others are having trouble.

    @Ongey Thanks for your feedback. Hopefully my colleagues get to the bottom of it!
