Kontakt 7 – Instruments Forum

I still use kontakt 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. 6 and 7 (presumably 8 also but I haven’t installed it) are the only ones that tried to be jerks by not including the version number in the plugin name. They are just called “kontakt”.

If you re-save things (definitely the instrument files but possibly the ncw compressed files) in a later version it won’t be compatible with the older versions. That’s one of the reasons I have so much old stuff hanging around on My system. I also like to be able to open old projects and see what I was doing years ago. The compressed audio files are lossless but you’ll lose flexibility by not keeping the WAV files.
