"saved with newer version of reaktor" — how to access legacy ensembles?
hi @ni.reactors—
I am currently revisiting and cleaning up old Ableton sets and some Reaktor5 instances complain they cannot find the ensemble in question. Once pointed to the correct ensemble, it then complains that the latter has been saved with a "newer version of reaktor" and I must "update [my] software". Problem here is, I can swap the AU for Reaktor 6 but all the settings/params from the old ensemble are lost in this case. How can I recover old ensembles? Can I downgrade some packs in use (i.e. Maschine packs now using Reaktor 6 instead of 5) to allow the presets to load again? Reaktor doesn't provide me with a guide as to which snapshot was used in the old version. This way I cannot recover the ensembles nor do I have an intuition.
Any hint is highly appreciated!

If your OS don't supports R5 anymore you can't exchange your instances with R6.
It's not a problem by Reaktor it's your OS only.

Above answer is not correct. While i can't answer the question, i can tell you Reaktor 5 works beautiful on my windows 10 but projects saved with Reaktor 6 always break exactly as questioner described. So in practice, i see Reaktor 6 as not supported by Windows and consequently, I never use Reaktor 6 anymore and that solved the project loading issues.

The above answer may be correct, however, and in truth, my OS (macOS 10.14 Mojave) does indeed support Reaktor 5 (an 6 in parallel), I can load the old version without any issues.
Since Reaktor5 does open but complains the ensemble in question has been »saved with a newer version of Reaktor!«, and without any further guidance I can only speculate that some Maschine pack—which was used earlier—must have been updated to R6 by Native Access or my humble self (?), and thus cannot be loaded by R5 anymore. It is thus not an OS problem, but a software problem, and guidance would be wonderful.

I don't own Maschine but my ens saved in a project comes ever from another path than the installed. So in this location is no automatic update and projects are fine.
