Open instruments in kontakt7 as default instead of k6

There was an error rendering this rich post.

How do I open an instrument in K7 in Maschine by default instead of kontakt 6. For example the new glaze says (can't open older version). Yest Hypha automatically opens in K7.

I don't want to have to delete Kontakt 6 from my system - I just want Kontakt 7 only instruments to open in K7 when I select it on the MK controller.

Do you have "Always use latest version of NI plugins" checked in Preferences? Not sure if that might force the use of Kontakt 7

Just enable "Always Use Latest Version Of NI Plug-Ins" in Preferences >Plug-Ins.

Works fine for me.

Quick solution:

Do not load the instruments directly.

Load Kontakt 7 first and then load the instruments you want.

or, keep only the VST2 for Kontakt 6 and use VST3 for Kontakt 7... i can't see how else this can work

Technically this is the solution for sure, however the user wrote that he still want to use Kontakt 6 too for some older libraries (though i am pretty sure that they will open fine in Kontakt 7 too).

For me there is no reason at all to keep Kontakt 6, but it's up to him.

Well now I'm confused... Glaze opens fine with K7 for me, all instruments do, maybe his Glaze needs updating?

Or is this because I own K7 and OP does not? I confess I am not fully up to speed on all the latest Kontakt shenanigans.

Great. Thanks. Just needed to check that box and it's working fine now.

I have both K6 & K7.

Still haven't sorted out added all 3rd Party NI instruments yet to K7 - so want to keep K6 on this computer for the moment, while my laptop only has K7.
