Ableton .vstpreset doesn't properly loads into Komplete Kontrol (KBDSW-8069)

Inchange · 2025-06-21T20:18:35+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

For example, I load instance of KK (latest version), load some instrument ("Slower" by e-instruments), find a preset that I like, save it as myPreset.vstpreset in Ableton (latest version), but when I load it back into KK, interface doesn't shows instrument GUI

load Slower:

load new 54 Flute.vstpreset (but it works fine and makes sound):

if close and open KK plugin window, it shows GUI normally:

tried another KK instruments, same issue

ps: by the way, Kontakt 8 loads .vstpreset properly

is it a bug?

@Inchange Thanks for the video. It made it clear I was using an older version of Ableton (12.1.1), after updating to the latest version 12.2.1, I can reproduce the issue 100%. Will file as a bug, thanks for flagging it.

@Inchange I've tried to reproduce the issue but wasn't able to. I tried with several instruments, with the AU Komplete Kontrol, the VST3, with a MK3 keyboard connected, with a 3rd party keyboard, without any keyboard at all.

Are there parameters missing to reproduce the issue? What's your operating system?

yes I'm on Sequoia 15.5, full disk access enabled, access to local network too

I don't know what else I can check, everything is up to date (Ableton, Komplete Kontrol)

this problem appears only with KK, I have saved presets for many of my plugins, all of them work fine
