Is Kontakt 6 Dead already?!

There was an error rendering this rich post.

With all old Kontakt libraries being forced to be used in Kontakt 7, using more Ram to operate, shoving ads in our face from the Interface and a super difficult method of building a Multi-Instrument Midi Out Project I cant even use this unless I miraculously buy an AlienWare or something.... Could we please at least get new Updates for old instruments that make them versatile to operate in both Kontakt 6 and 7?!

I understand how NI is working Godspeed to bring out new Tools for us and continue growing as an Amazing Electronic Sound Library. But we shouldn't be coerced to use the newer releases that make this difficult and almost impossible to use. I can't even use any NI VST now and I am saddened by this.

No one forces you to anything. NI libraries only require Kontakt Player, would it be 6, 7 or 8, so you have nothing to buy. Kontakt 6 has been discontinued some years ago already and libraries get updated, breaking compatibility with Kontakt 6 or previous versions. You can always downgrade the libraries. We got all the installers for these previous versions on this page: Previous versions of recently updated Kontakt libraries / compatibility with K6 older libraries

And I've seen that page. Yes, that us very helpful as well. But I'm trying to downgrade just about everything that came with Kontakt from Komplete 12 Ultimate. Mainly, the Kontakt Library Factory. Is there a downgrade for that library and the rest as well? I appreciate your reply. Thank you

Okay, I get it now. I may be a little slow, but I just discovered reinstalling old libraries (For the most part) roll them back to the version that were compatible with Kontakt 6. My apologies. And thank you for the reference on the other rollback in the list.
