Updating from version prior to 1.2:

Kairatune 1.2 is not fully backwards compatible with prior versions. The parameter 
scheme and internal state data have undergone some significant changes, which 
causes version 1.2 fail to restore the sounds and state in projects made using 
versions 1.1 and 1.0. You can try, but you're mileage may vary and i've found hosts 
that fail completely. If you want to continue working with prior projects and use 
Kairatune 1.2, before updating to 1.2, i would recommend you to either

a) Render all Kairatune parts to audio and remove all instances of Kairatune or
b) Export your presets to FXP files (or FXB if you have several per instance) 
   via the Kairatune user interface and remove all instances of Kairatune, update 
   Kairatune and load new instances to your tracks and load the exported presets 
   to the new instances.

If you have parameter automation that you can not redo, you should render to audio. 
Otherwise you'll be happy with simply restoring the presets. Kairatune can load old 
preset files and banks, but it cannot playback old automation.

All this trouble is due to bad design decisions i made prior to releasing the first 
version of Kairatune. I didn't expect Kairatune to become so popular so i wasn't 
thinking this far back then. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and i hope you get over
to using 1.2 as smoothly and as soon as possible.
