would require you to buy a newer Kontakt when samples were playing with an older Kontakt previously. I definitely remember loading them in my K6 Player and batch resaving to test them out, and then they wouldn't load in my Cubase using K5. Not positive that is the answer with the other 3 libraries or so that also give the error message that they need a newer Kontakt, but it sure seems logical. They sent me a new Instruments file to replace the corrupted one I had and everything works fine now and Emotional Piano now opens in my Contact without the error message that I need a newer Kontakt. Saving a sample in a more recent Kontakt does something to the sample to cause it not to load in an older Kontakt. Kontakt 5.8.1, which is my VSTi in Cubase 8). Here's the deal (from the Emotional Piano folks today): If I opened a library with Kontakt 6 (which I did with the K6 Player) and batch resaved (which I did), then the sample pool is 'corrupted' in the sense that it won't open thereafter with a more downlevel Kontakt (e.g. (BTW I thought Version 6 of Kontakt was just the Player version and the DAW plug in version was still Version 5.) Install KONTAKT's latest update with Native Access.'Īs to the libraries in question not working, I may have originally opened them in the Player (Version 6 ?) and now am opening them in the Cubase plug version 5.8.1.Note: KONTAKT Play Series libraries (ANALOG DREAMS / ETHERAL EARTH / HYBRID KEYS) can only be opened in KONTAKT 6 (Player) and will also cause this error if opened within KONTAKT 5.'

'This message appears when you attempt to load a library instrument in KONTAKT which had originally been saved with a newer version of the software. The broken libs (Session Horns and a few others) were working fine in Cubase before until I started moving some stuff around and adding paths. Yes I wanted to use whatever the latest version NI has up there (unless somebody indicates it is not worth it and can still fix the error) and assumed that was the fix- just erase everything, download the latest Kontakt, and make sure its path is in the Cubase VSTi path.īut really I don't care what version- I just want the error to go away.
