Komplete Kontrol VST2 missing? (MAC)

mwmusic

Hello! Having a lot of similar problems as people on this thread (https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/7537/komplete-kontrol-vst2)

But I found that they were windows, thought I'd bring the convo to Mac.

Using OS Monterey, and have always ran my plug-ins/DAWs on Rosetta, just waiting until all plugins transitioned and updated to support apple silicon and the M1 Chip. In this transfer process, it ended up being very complex as my VST2 komplete kontrol plugin disappeared. Kontact 6 + 7, all internal plugins were there, but the acutal KK VST2 wouldn't show up in my daw.

I set folders to default, and reinstalled my entire library on Native Access, much like discussed in the other forum. and even though the VST2 and VST3 files appear in my plugins folder, [Macintosh HD - Library - Audio - Plug-ins - VST and/or VST3], only VST3 shows up in my DAW.

(see photo)

This is now a pressing issue as all previous projects with VST2 kontact (all of them) now show up with that midi unreadable, as these VST2 are unreadable by my DAW.

Please help! Lots of my previous projects on the line, and despite my efforts everything is just not working...

Does your DAW have the folder containing the VST2 listed as a target in the plugins management?

This is a Windows discussion but maybe it will help anyway ?

Quote :

I could resolve the problem in the mean time by downgrading the Komplete Kontrol plugin with this download:

After downgrading Komplete Kontrol, the VST2 Version appeared again, after updating KK with Native Access, the VST2 version worked normally again.

Still not really sure what caused the problem, but maybe this procedure could help somebody in a similar situation.

Sorry I am not using MAC and do not know what installers you would need from here :

Hey. Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I wondered if you ever resolved this as I have the exact same issue.

Here's everything to my understanding at this moment in time... might be wrong, still working on it:

To my knowledge (might be wrong take with grain of salt) that VST 2 is just on the way out, and modern M1 chips just don't support it. Thats why NI has gone to VST3. There is no way to solve this issue other than to open up all my projects in Rosetta, freeze and/or flatten any VSTs necessary, then reopen up without Rosetta.

This really blows, and I wish somehow I could've known something like this would've happened.

Probably best to get into the habit of freezing/bouncing everything anyway. Technology will always be changing, so better safe than sorry ig.
