What happens to my existing DAW projects created with older Kontakt versions?
Kontakt 8 is installed as a separate application and doesn’t replace the older version in your DAW.
Your projects will continue to load with the Kontakt version they were created with.
Do I need both the older Kontakt version and Kontakt 8 installed?
You can keep both versions installed and even use them side by side.
For instance, you can use Kontakt 7 and Kontakt 8 in the same project without issues,
as they won’t interfere with each other.
How can I update my existing DAW projects to use Kontakt 8?
There are two methods:
- Auto-Migration: Some DAWs support automatic plugin migration. If yours does, uninstall the older Kontakt version after installing Kontakt 8, and your projects will load with Kontakt 8 automatically. Please see more details here.
- Manual Migration: If your DAW doesn’t support auto-migration, create a new instrument channel with Kontakt 8, then copy your MIDI, automation, and instrument settings to the new channel.
Note that automatic plugin migration depends on implementation by DAW developers.
Currently, it’s supported by Cubase 12, Nuendo 12, Logic Pro 10.8, Pro Tools 12.3, and Maschine 2.16.0.
We’re hopeful that more DAWs will adopt this feature in the future to simplify the migration process.
How can I avoid breaking my existing DAW projects?
Before updating any Kontakt libraries, check the release notes on Native Access to ensure you have the required Kontakt version installed.
Updating libraries without the compatible Kontakt version can cause issues with loading them in your projects.
Will all Kontakt instruments require Kontakt 8 now?
New instruments released after Kontakt 8 may require it.
Older libraries will remain compatible with earlier Kontakt versions unless they’re updated to require a newer version.
Be sure to check the release notes on Native Access before updating!
If a library does require Kontakt 8, you can either update or download
the free Kontakt 8 Player.

Het probleem kan natuurlijk ook in de 'huidige' gebruikte versie van Logic zitten.
Die is tenslotte verantwoordelijk voor het opslaan en opnieuw uitlezen van je gebruikte settings van een VST.
