Connecting Kontakt 7 Player to MPC Beats

novilab

I wanted to connect Kontakt 7 Player to my MPC Beats DAW to record the Jacob Collier Audience Choir but its not connecting (even though Kontakt 6 seems to connect fine as a VST). Any idea why?

Pretty sure MPC Beats doesn't support VST3 plugins so you won't see Kontakt 7 as that's only a VST3.

You can use something like Blue Cat Patchwork to run VST3 plugins in a host that only supports VST2 if you want to pay $99 - Blue Cat's PatchWork - Fully Configurable Plug-Ins Chainer and Multi FX / Standalone Host or Plug-In (bluecataudio.com)

There's also a program called Kushview Element which a lot of people use to do the same thing, and it's free - Element - Kushview

That makes sense. Do you know of any tutorials that show how do it navigate Kushview Element?

Kushview have a selection of tutorials on their YouTube channel that should help - Element Plugin Manager | Audio Plugin Host by Kushview (youtube.com)
