Old ableton project opened - Kontakt is empty. How to find what library it used?
So I have an old Ableton project from 2018 which was made on my previous computer.
I've opened the session on my current laptop and it has a track with an instance of Kontakt 5, which was previously loaded with a Piano library. I have installed most of my libraries/VSTs onto this new laptop but its not impossible that i've missed a few.
Unfortunately when I open the session now on my new laptop, that Kontakt instance is empty and hasnt loaded any library at all. It doesnt present me with a "files missing" dialog or any notification or clue as to what it should be attempting to load.
Is there a way to at least find out what library it should be attempting to load? I wouldve thought Kontakt should be giving me an error message or something if i havent got the library installed?

Same thing happened in Studio One a few years back. No easy way that I ever found to determine what library was originally part of the interest. Just a small red square at the top of a track saying Missing!
After experiencing this 2 or 3 times I started taking copious notes INSIDE Studio One stating exactly what library is loaded.And rendering ALL Kontakt instances to audio so there is a safety value if the original library is gone or no longer supported.
