ear Devs please consider this:

Since VST3 SDK 3.7.5 (IPluginCompatibility interface) it should be possible to auto migrate Kontakt 6 to Kontakt 7.

If Kontakt 6 gets disabled or removed from the vst3 plugin folder and Kontakt 7 is present your template or song will load with Kontakt 7 instead. Same goes for AU (Audio Unit)

The benefit?
No one has to manually replace Kontakt 6 with Kontakt 7.
Because manually would mean:

• one has to save each multi in each Kontakt 6 instance manually
• replace each Kontakt 6 instance with Kontakt 7
• reload all multis in each Kontakt 7 instance

auto migration would do all that automatically without the need to save multis at all!!!

Here is an example how its works for me in Nuendo 12:

I have a meta frame that I used when working with Jóhann Jóhannsson that I wanted to update but unfortunately all ist lost now. On the Apple Silicon Macs is no Kontakt 5 installed. Manually swapping K5 to K7 would mean empty instances without anything in them!

Hi, 

Just a quick thumbs up. We hear you! 

This has been on our list for quite a while now... and we really thought that NI would stick to their prediction to keep "Kontakt" as instrument name for upcoming versions after Kontakt 6 (instead of adding numbers again).

Best,

Hi Sam, 

My experience is that most things are indeed possible in software. 

Now, "easy" is a word developers usually us BEFORE they start working on something, or if it is a task for someone else....

So: I hope we will get there, it is definitely on our list. But I can't make any promises. 

Best, 
Paul
