Got Kontakt 8 installed on a Mac Mini with OS 12. My DAW is on a separate Mac. I'm using the K8 Player in standalone mode via hardware midi and a Scarlett interface. Emotional Cello works fine, but a couple of my guitar VIs time out after 30 minutes, saying they need the full version of Kontakt.
Is there a Kontakt Player full version, or would I need to install a DAW on the Mac Mini to host the plugin version of Kontakt? If it's the latter, are there any cheap DAWs to host Kontakt? (Reaper?) I'm using Digital Performer for my DAW, but I don't have extra authorizations left to install another copy on the Mac mini. (The OS on my DAW Mac is 10.12, which is too old to host new software.)
