Starise Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Can anyone tell me if I were to get rid of Kontakt 5 would this in any way affect the files in Kontakt 6? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Earl Goodroe Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 As long as your libraries are not installed inside of Kontakt 5, you can remove it with no problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starise Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Thank you Sidney. I would need to look into that since many of my libraries were purchased and installed under K5. When I updated to K6 it seemed to find the libraries ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Earl Goodroe Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 You can relocate the libraries to another location and use Kontakt 6 to find the new location. Then you can safely uninstall Kontakt 5. I always install any Kontakt libraries to my sample drive. That way the libraries are more efficient and safe from being uninstalled by mistake. There are a few tutorials to show you how to move the libraries if you need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Not so!!! You need to keep the older version. Cakewalk files with Kontakt 5 loaded will no automatically open with 6. You will loose all you banks and settings. Best way - keep 5 and 4 especially because 4 will load sfz , 6 will not imports them. and other formats that support. I don’t think 5 does Sfz but it still import more formats. All your libraries and such will be fine in 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this - there is very little space reclaimed by uninstalling Kontakt 5, and as noted in what I quoted, it is a whole lot less of a hassle to just leave all the projects that used Kontakt 5 alone, and just start using Kontakt 6 for new projects. I run both side by side, and all the old projects load up just fine. Bob Bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starise Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 My plan was to maybe help someone out who doesn't have Kontakt. I figured I don't use K5 and always reach for K6. If it's going to mess with my setup though I probably shouldn't try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Mackay Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 There are 3rd party plugins that don't respond to K6 Add Library. Then you can add them with K5, and use them in K6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
