Kontakt not loading libraries in FL Studio project.

Lito Perezito · December 2022

Hi, I recently reinstalled Windows 11 which forced me to reinstall FL Studio & Kontakt, but ever since, all of my FL Studio projects load Kontakt with no instruments at all. I think it might be due to the fact it used a different version of Kontakt before (maybe 6, which now I have 7).

It doesn't even ask me to relocate libraries nor anything, it just loads Kontakt completely empty which makes all of my projects unusable since I have tons of libraries and I can't remember which one was set on each channel.

Is there a way to fix this issue? It doesn't seem to be very common.

dll files are for vst2 plug-ins and vst3 files, well for vst3 plug-ins. They are different formats. Fl Studio can handle both, Kontakt 7 is vst3 only. https://www.musicianwave.com/vst2-vst3-differences/

@Lito Perezito You should install Kontakt 6 on your computer. You should find it as just Kontakt in Native Access.

Actually I was wrong, I have both version, my issue was not related to the version but the extension of the VST.

I opened an old FLP file with notepad and realized previous versions used a .dll VST, while after reinstalling Windows 11, FL Studio was using a vst3 VST. So I just deleted the VST3 and replaced it with the DLL, everything seems to be working now.
