Kontakt 7.6 - always opens in old Libraries view?
I just updated to Kontakt 7.6 and it always opens in the pre-7.x "instrument rack" view. It is not remembering the state of showing the newer v7 search browser.
So every time I open a new instance, I need to click the little book icon next to the Kontakt logo.
I read the release notes but it sounds like remembering the last view was intended to be improved?
Is anyone else seeing this too?

In the plugin you can do this now:
So do it :) Set Kontakt's view settings (virtual keyboard, single/rack view, side pane visibility, etc.) and then store it as default with this option.
Note that these visibility settings are now stored per instance from now on, this is one of the bullet points in K7.6 changelog.

In standalone try switching to minimized mode and open the new browser. Close it and now it should re-open with the browser activated.
I know that's not what you want, but that's all I got! 😀

I'm not currently using 7.6 as a plugin, so I can't verify. I still use K6.
I only use the Factory library and a few other instruments, so I really don't need the new browser.

I have the same here. Also 7.6 is not opening in Studio One v 6.5. Is there a way to go back to Kontakt 7.5?

What exactly is happening when you drag an instance of K 7.6.0 into Studio One? Error? Crash? Nothing?
Not exactly sure what you mean by "not opening".

I can drag Kontakt in the song in trackview. But clicking on it does not open the plugin. So you cannot choose a library to use. I can drag midi to the track. But because there is no library/sound you don’t hear anything. Also opening an excisting song with K 7.6 in it does not show Kontakt in the trackview. That track has gone. It does show in channel view. But then it is greyed out and I cannot change that. As I have over 300 songs with Kontakt in it I would like to return to a previous version of Kontakt. Is there a place where I can download it?

"I can drag Kontakt in the song in trackview. But clicking on it does not open the plugin"
When I drag K7 into an empty song - the actual K7 interface opens, and I am presented with an "empty" Kontakt shell. And then can proceed to selecting a library. Matter of fact - ANY VST dragged into a session will behave the same - drag, drop and the instrument opens.
Now you say "But clicking on it does not open the plugin"
Where exactly are you clicking? There is a very specific area that must be clicked to actually open the plugin. You cannot just click anywhere.
I am almost suspecting that Kontakt 7.6 is not even installed correctly.
Please open Native Access and confirm that Kontakt 7 is actually installed and activated.
Then in Studio One - click on View->Plugin Manager and find a button (lower right) that says - Remove Plugin Settings. Click it and then confirm that you want Studio One to restart and do a FULL scan. This will take several minutes but will completely reset the S1 plugin database and refresh all installed plugins.
If Kontakt 7 is still not behaving after this - you may need to submit a support ticket to Presonus.

Will this also fix the problems in Logic with the search bar passing info to Logic?

No, that's a bug on Apple side they will fix in subsequent OS updates.

It's simpler to go back to Studio One 6.2.1 as I have no issues with Kontact I'm playing with 7.6 now

I think it helps though - I found previously as long as I keep the window size constant inside Logic I can use the search fine in Logic, it's only when I resize it in Logic I get keystrokes passed to Logic, but now I can set a default size it makes Kontakt responsible for retaining windows size info and even after I resize manually, if I set it back to a default and restart Logic the bug goes away

@EvilDragon OOH LA LA! You to the rescue! Thanks very much for the tip to "Set view settings as default".

This does not work, Even after set as default, you STILL have to click on Library to get the old Library Rack view. I don't like this new method at all. Can NI not give us the option at least to set it back the way it was to default on the full rack view with the library on the left?

NI is constantly changing their K7 settings. Depending on the 7.X version you have currently installed, you may find different "startup-view" options in the "File / Options / Interface" menu. I don't remember the exact phrases which they have used in recent K7 versions, but in your case I'd search for an option which contains the keywords "new Rack View" or "fullscreen". The current option in K7.7.1 that changes the startup view is "Display when launching new Rack View instance".
The behavior is kind of weird, as it's quite the opposite from what it actually says: If that option is enabled, K7 will open up in "Browser/Preset" mode, and if it's disabled, it will open K7 up in the classic "Library/Rack" view again. I hope that could help you.
