Hello,
After migrating from an Intel MacBook Pro 2019 to a Mac Studio M2 Ultra, I am having an issue where the Kontakt 7 VST3 is missing from the plugin list in my DAW in Rosetta/Intel launch mode.
The plugin does not appear in Ableton, and any session launched from the past results in Kontakt 7 not being found - breaking all my previous sessions with Kontakt 7 instruments.
I did discover one work around that is very inconvenient, which makes me feel like there must be another way.
If I take the Kontakt 7.vst3 file that was installed on my MacBook Pro (previous computer) before migration and drop this VST3 into Custom VST3 Folder in my User Library of my new computer (meaning, I have both the latest copy of Kontakt 7 installed from Native Access 2 while also having my old computer's Kontakt 7 in a custom vst3 folder), and I tell Ableton to scan BOTH Vst3 folders (ie the custom and the system vst3 folders), then I am able to get Ableton to show the VST3 in the sidebar when in Rosetta mode. This seems really odd and makes me think that the Apple Silicon version of Native Access 2 installs a Kontakt 7 that only works natively.
Things to know/have tried:
- I am running Mac OS Ventura, and I am fully updated on Kontakt, Native Access 2, and Ableton.
- I have tried every method of rescanning plugins imaginable including deep scans and custom folders.
- I have tried reinstalling Kontakt 7 and Native Access.
I hope someone has a solution, and thanks for your help!
