Problem with Kontakt versions

Pascal H

Hi, I use Cubase 12 Pro, I recently opened a few projects saved with Kontakt 7, but they are now opened with Kontakt 6 ! Some Native Instruments are of course missing… What can I do ? Thanks a lot (and sorry for my week anglish…)

Do you still have Kontakt 7 installed ? Try reinstalling Kontakt 7, Then re-scan for plugins in Cubase to see if that helps.

Thanks for your answer. I work only with Kontakt 7, since 2 years…

Then why not uninstall Kontakt 6 ? if it is not there projects can not open in Kontakt 6.

OK, but if I uninstall Kontakt 6, what will happen with the Cubase projects using Kontakt 6 ?

Oh , I thought that you wanted everything to open in Kontakt 7 (?) . Also then I am not sure that opening anything in a newer Kontakt will do any harm as long as you do not save anything.

Anyway , then as far as I know then Cubase 12 and newer are one of the few DAWs supporting 'auto-migration' , me not being an expert I can not guarantee anything though. (Also then not sure if it would still work if you used e.g. Kontakt 6 VST2)
