Kontakt 6 templates and Kontakt 7
Hello! I have built a lot of templates in Cubase pro that use a single instance of Kontakt 6. If I upgrade to Kontakt 7 do I need to build the templates again?
In other words, does the Kontakt 7 upgrade overwrite Kontakt 6 or will the new and old Kontakt versions be separate after the upgrade? The latter being bad news in this case.
Thanks!

K7 does not overwrite K6. They are two separate applications/Plugins.

Thank you. In this case this is bad news… I wonder how do others with really massive Kontakt templates deal with this?
If someone knows a way to make the conversion from K6 to K7 automatically please let me know.

I recently updated my whole template with K6, and now you're telling me I have to do that all over again if I want to use K7?
So, I need K5 for my older projects, K6 for my newer/current projects, and K7 for new and future projects (not to mention rebuild my template)? Why do they do this? I understand partly. It is helpful to have separate plugins to avoid breaking projects but what will be the limit? Will I end up having to install 10 individual Kontakt versions by the time they reach v14?

Unfortunately yes, so it seems. There surely is a market for conversion software, of which I would be happy to pay for.

After NI named the Kontakt6 Plug-In only "Kontakt" I thought they had learned from the past and that converting large setup with 400+ instances is a major pain in the *****. And now? They present the next plug named Kontakt7 with NO autoconversion from previous Kontakt versions...*facepalm*

Same feeling! Before upgrading, I was looking into this template matter and found this forum. This is surely a deal breaker for my upgrade for now.

I contacted NI support about this and got an answer (thanks NI). Support said that Kontakt developers are looking into this issue and there might be a solution in the future. I will not upgrade to K7 before there this happens, no way I would manually reprogram hundreds of instances of K6 to K7.
