Session Guitarist Acoustic Sunburst not opening in Kontact

Jason Pennock

Just purchased Session Guitarist Acoustic Sunburst. It will not load in the current version of Kontact. When I tried to manually load it, it says, Your version of Kontact is too old to load this file which was saved with Kontact v7.10.1.000 So I updated Kontact and 7.10 isn't available to me, the verson that is available is 7.8.1 what should I do??

Mac or PC?

Some Mac users needed to roll back to an older version of Native Access - to get the latest version of Kontakt.

Yes, I'm on a mac. I think that 7.10 won't work on my system. I am currently running mac OS Big Sur and I don't think Kontact 7.10.000 works in that OS version. I usually work on older OS versions because of bugs, etc… guess it's time to move up. My computer is a 2019 model.. soon to be forgotten by mac updates and support. LOL.

You will have little choice but to upgrade then. Move up to Ventura would be the best spot right now.

Jason, I had the same issue. I purchased the new library but could not open the instrument with Kontakt Play 7.8.1. I have a Mid 2014 Mac Book Pro, that was stuck on Big Sur. Apple offers no other OS updates at this point; however, there are some workarounds to upgrade to a newer OS.

I watched a YouTube video ("How to Install macOS Sonoma on Unsupported Macs (Quick and Easy)") . I followed those instructions and updated my OS up one level to Monterey (not Sonoma) . This allowed Native Access to give me the updates required for Kontakt 7. I can now open that library and it seems to work fine. I would recommend you giving this a shot before you purchase a new mac.
