Instrument settings not loading into Komplete Kontrol on new computer

I recently upgraded to a new computer and installed all my virtual instruments as well as a newer version of the Komplete Kontrol plug-in. However, when I open a previous Logic project on the new computer, some of the Komplete Kontrol tracks are unable to load/playback the specific instrument settings from my original project. I can load instrument presets with default settings, but any plug-in adjustments that I had made in instances of KK on my old computer are not being loaded into instances of KK on my new computer. I thought the issue might be that the new version of KK is unable to interpret instances of an older version of KK, so I installed the older version of KK onto my new computer, but I had the same issue.

Notably, KK is not having this issue with all instruments on my new computer. For example, Prism and Reaktor Factory Selection are loading into KK with all the adjustments I had made on my old computer, but Hybrid Keys and Piano Colors are not.

Here is a screenshot of the KK plug-in (the older version I installed on my new computer) trying to load an instance of Hybrid Keys from a project I created on my old computer.

My only work-around is to use my old computer to export all instances of KK in my projects as custom presets, and then load those custom presets into the corresponding instances of KK on my new computer.

Old device is a MacBook Pro 2016, Intel i5 Chip, running Komplete Kontrol 2.6.7 in Logic Pro 10.7.5.

New device is a MacBook Pro 2024, M4 Pro Chip, running Komplete Kontrol 3.3.3 or 2.6.7 in Logic Pro 11.1.

    @debark If you open a Logic project made on an Intel Mac on a new Silicon Mac you will need to open the projects in Rosetta mode: How to Open Your DAW Using Rosetta

    What was the operating system on that Intel Mac? What version of Kontakt were you using in your projetcs? What libraries were being used? Did some of these libraries get updated recently or in the last months?

    I tried opening the project in Rosetta mode but I had the same issue.

    The old Intel Mac was running macOS Monterey 12.7.2, and the new Apple Silicon Mac is running macOS Sequoia 15.1.1. I had Kontakt Player 6.7.0 installed on my old computer, but I was and still am using Komplete Kontrol to use/control instruments in Logic.

    I am not sure I understand your question about libraries. There were many libraries being used (e.g. Piano Colors, Hybrid Keys, Sequis, etc.). Some of these were more recent additions (within the year) but I did not personally update any of the libraries after the instruments had been purchased/installed. The only change I made was moving some of the libraries on my old computer to an external drive, but on my new computer I installed everything internally.
