No Instrument/Effect Loaded on my Kontrol S61 MK3 after installing any new Kontakt instrument
Hello,
I have the following Kontakt instruments installed and working on my PC and keyboard:
They have all been installed a few weeks ago at the same time and work without issues: if I run Kontakt 7 it connects to my keyboard nicely and I'm able to browse the library on my keyboard and see them on the display, use the LEDs etc.. However, if I try to install ANY other instrument, Kontakt 7 doesn't connect to my keyboard display anymore, instead the keyboard says "No Instrument/Effect Loaded". I am able to use the newly installed instrument on Kontakt 7 on PC and use my keyboard to play them, but the display connection to the keyboard doesn't work, it just displays the above message for a few seconds and then goes back to the default MIDI screen. If I remove the newly installed instrument, everything goes back to normal: I can see all the other instruments on my keyboard screen and everything works as expected.
I tried the following instruments and all have this problem: Session Strings 2
, Playbox, Melted Vibes, Scarbee MM-Bass, Stacks, Lo-Fi Glow. I assume it's not about these specific instruments, the same would happen for all new installs.
My keyboard is a Kontrol S61 MK3.
What could be the problem?
Thank you!

I want to add that I'm installing all instruments consistently to the same installation folder, which is not the default folder.

I also tried reinstalling Kontakt 7 and the Hardware Connection Service too, reboot my pc/keyboard, but nothing helps.

Actually there was a new instrument I was able to install and the Kontakt 7 is still working as expected, so it means the problem only affects specific instruments. I am currently compiling a list of all the affected instruments I own by installing and checking them out one-by-one to see which ones are breaking contact… I will be back with the list soon.
