Kontakt 8 VST3 plugin error in Ableton 12.1.10

toranders

Hi!

The VST3 version of Kontakt 8 is not showing i the plugin window in Ableton. The AU version is visible and working fine. After some usual trouble shooting (as reinstalling both Kontakt8 and Ableton) I found an clue in the Ableton Live PluginScanner.txt:

"VST3: check plugin at path: "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3 Kontakt/Kontakt 8.vst3"
2025-03-04T13:51:47.493933: error: Failed to load plugin: a sealed resource is missing or invalid"

So Ableton sees the plugin but refuses to enable it.

I am in a middle of a big production and now I am stuck with missing plugin errors in my Ableton projects where I have used the VST3 Kontakt8. It will take a lot of extra work to update the tracks with the AU version and load the used sample libraries.

Any suggestion or could a Native engineer look into this?

I am having the exact same situation with Komplate Kontrol…

I'm on this version of Live and both are working fine in the VST3 version - try pressing alt/option while clicking on the rescan plugins button - this will reset the blacklist and force a full rescan

Update: It seem like this is a Ableton issue and not NI. I have reinstalled Kontakt and the VST3 version is showing up in Presonus Studio One and working fine there. But in Ableton it is still the same sits. I should have reported this to Ableton support but I am on a tight deadline and have managed to work around the issue by replacing the Kontakte tracks.

That’s why you need to do a reset rescan as Ableton has blacklisted it

If the above does not solve the problem, please refer to the following document to completely uninstall Komplete Kontrol (especially make sure to uninstall the VST3 version).
