Kontakt 7 Player is not loading in Ableton Live 10

arturmic

Hi,

I am having issues with Kontakt. Currently I have Kontakt 7 Player installed (available from native access). But when I open a Kontakt instance on a track in Ableton it opens Kontakt version 6 (wich is no longer installed according to Native Access). Kontakt 7 is shown as installed. The Ableton plugin Folder points to a folder where I find a kontakt.dll that was not changed after the installation of Kontakt 7 so I assume this is still the Kontakt 6 dll. There was also a Kontakt 7 exe file created that I can execute without problems and where I can load all libraries without problems. The problem is only in Ableton Live where it always opens Kontakt 6 (which is not activated and only usable in Demo mode). I assume that there is no dll for Kontakt 7 created in my plugin folder (wich is correctly selected in the native acces plugin path) How can solve this?

Kontakt 7 is only VST3, there's no VST2 version so it should show under your VST3 plugins. It sounds like you have an old copy of K6 lying around somewhere, probably the VST2 version.

I'm having the same problem, I've un-installed and reinstalled Ableton and all of the NI software komplete kontrol, kontakt 7. And still I cannot get it to show up in plugins. If I install kontakt 6 it works fine. But Kontakt 7 shows nothing at all, I have changed the plugin folder and it changes nothing.

I have changed the plugin folder

Generally speaking then you ought always leave the plugin path settings as per standard. And especially and most certainly the VST3 path must be as is standard !

When you have installed the plugins then check that they are actually installed (look at install location), then after that the try the Deep-rescan all installed plug-ins. To start a deep rescan, hold ALT/Option and click "Rescan."

Also prior to use in a DAW then first time always open as stand-alone first !
