Issue with Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol VST Not Loading Correctly in DAW

catherinebennett

Hello

I’ve been using the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol VST in my DAW (Ableton Live); but lately, I’ve been facing an issue where it doesn’t load properly when opening a project. The VST appears as a blank plugin / crashes the DAW when trying to load certain presets. I’ve tried reinstalling both the plugin and the DAW but the issue persists.🤔

I’m not sure if it’s a compatibility issue with the latest DAW update or a plugin-specific bug. I’ve checked the system requirements, and my setup should be fine. Has anyone else faced this issue, and if so, what steps did you take to resolve it?🙄

I’d appreciate any troubleshooting tips or if someone could point me to any known issues with the VST in the current version of Komplete Kontrol.😑

Thank you !😊

What OS?

What version of Live?

What version of KK?

What plugin is loaded in KK that appears blank?

There have been known issues with KK and some VST3 plugins in Live for years (Korg, GForce, Cherry Audio just to name a few) where the GUI appears blank. I don't believe this has been fixed so likely, it is the long standing issue we have been complaining about for years, however the issue would always appear from the first use of these plugins loaded within KK not just after a save/recall. May be it was partly fixed but still a problem. Sadly there is no solution.

This is a known issue that was fixed in March of last year (note that the latest version is 3.3.4 since then).

However, we believe the issue may have resurfaced recently for some users, and are exploring this with our friends at Ableton.

Do you know if the products used in these projects are Kontakt libraries? What version of Kontakt are you using? What's your operating system?
