Migrate sounds from older Kontakt versions to newest...

I've made around 500-1000 Channel Strip Settings in Logic Pro. Basically, any new instrument I buy, I catalogue the interesting sounds/patches as individual channel strips. However, since I last did this we're now on Kontakt 7.

As a result these channel strips open with Kontakt 5 and missing images, or don't open at all, or do open - but without the new functionality/speed of K7.

Is there a way to migrate these without having to note down every patch, remove K5, reopen K7, search for patch and save?

It almost makes channel strips/patches unusable that Kontakt doesn't automatically open with the latest plugin...

    When you move the K5/K6 components to test just having K7 installed, the sounds do open, but they open in K7 player. I don't think this is the ideal solution, right?

    Check this out: vi-control.net/community/threads/kontakt-updates-current-version-7-8-1.95552/page-59

    You basically go to the au plug-ins folder in /music/ and duplicate kontakt 7.component and rename it as kontakt 5.component, which fools Logic into loading kontakt 7 instead of kontakt 5.

    According to the post in the link (it's post 1,167) you have to amend the info.plist files but I didn't have to do this. Simply duplicating the kontakt 7 component and renaming it worked for me.

    If only other areas of life were this simple. "Oh Hi, Mr Bank Manager, I'm Elon, and I'd like to withdraw some cash..."

    Did you manage to get this to work ? I'm having the same problem with hundreds of channel strips and Kontakt 4… It would be great if there was a way to get into the channel strip .cst file, and modify it so that it opens kontakt 7 instead of 4
