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.

I'm good on older sessions on songs I'd started months ago, but now whenever I open Kontakt (I've tried 5 and 6), I can no longer select a channel in the drum mixer.

Kontakt libraries that came with Komplete, will no longer load in Kontakt 5 which came with Komplete
What kinda forced money-grab scheme is this? I have no choice but to pay for the new version to use the same libraries that always worked fine previously?? I see there's a discussion with some links to some libraries for older versions, but NI seriously expects us to manually download and update 48 individual libraries…

I think good and bad points are below. I…

Because of this, most of my libraries are then…
