Kontakt 8 not showing up in Reason 10.5

DJ Sharp

I downloaded the free version of Kontakt 8 but the VST instrument would not show up on my DAW (Reason 10. 5).

I went through all the steps of adding the VST folders inside the preference section of the DAW, but still nothing showed up. My DAW and operating system is fully compatible with Kontakt 8.

Will the same thing happen if I purchase the Paid version of Kontakt 8? Or does this only happen with the FREE version?

As of now, Kontakt 8 is only working as a standalone player. I need to work without Reason 10 as a playable VST. .

Can anyone help with this? Thanks in advance ☺️

Alas that is not possible ,

Reason 1 ? : Kontakt 8 is VST3 only :

Reason 2 ? : Reason 10 does not support VST3 ,

Quote :

Reason 9.5 and later supports 64-bit VST2 (2.4) plugins

Reason 12.5 and later supports 64-bit VST3 and VST2 plugins

P.S.

Kontakt 6 were last VST(2) version and by now then you can only get Kontakt 6 secondhand. Further more then most newer N.I. Kontakt libraries require a newer version of Kontakt to work. All in all then you need to use a DAW that supports VST3.

Either upgrade your Reason to Reason 13 (which by the way at present have at least some scaling problems with N.I. plugins) or get another DAW like e.g. Mixcraft , Reaper , Ableton Live , Cubase , Bitwig, FL Studio…
