    Kontakt is Kontakt 6.

    If you can/should uninstall it or not depends entirely on if you have DAW projects that use it. Installing Kontakt 7 will not automatically replace Kontakt 6 content, so you would need to keep having it installed.

    For projects made in Cubase, Nuendo, MASCHINE or using KOMPLETE KONTROL, however, this works a little bit different: They will automatically replace all instances of the older Kontakt version with the Kontakt 7 VST3 plug-in when loading a project, should the older version have been uninstalled or is otherwise unavailable.

    Thanx, i use it the instruments in Cubase, Machine and Komplet controle. But I have a problem there. In kontakt 7 I have no problem to play the instruments on my MK2 88. It functions as a MIDI keyboard. But when i try to open an instrument in KOMPLET KONTROL I get this message: "Loading Issue. Plug-in not found. Please open the standalone application to rescan,or rescanmanually in the plug-in preferences"

    I did all that, rescanned in Kontakt 7, in Komplete Kontrol, but the issue remains?

    What to do?

    Your MK2 88 should still be able to operate just fine with Komplete Kontrol 3.2.1 and the VST3 plugins. My MK2 49 works just fine with it along with my MK3 88 on the same plugins. Maybe you're launching an older KK??

    I have everything updated in Access.
    it just worked fine. But lately everytime I use Kontakt plugins in Cubase it crashses Cubase. And now this problem with Komplete Kontrol. I already reinstalled KK.
    i have no idea what more to do.

    Updated in what version of Access and what versions of KK and Kontakt? If you're using Native Access 3.91 or higher you need to be using Kontakt 7 version 7.9.0 and Komplete Kontrol version 3.2.1 or higher.

    those are exactly the versions I use. In KOMPLETE Kontrol I keep on getting this message when I try to load Noire:

    most instruments give the same message when I want to load them. But not for all instruments. With Absynth there’s no trouble. …..

    Has anybody a clue for me how to solve this problem?

    I can not load a lot of the plugins in my Komplete Kontrol.

    I keep on getting this message. See picture
