komplete kontrol mk3 crashing logic with Kontakt 7 (KT-8692)

@Matthew_NI

Ah cool, thanks for getting back and clarifying! Good thing I asked, I need to move my machine soon to the new Macbook Pro M3 - which only comes with Sonoma. Hopefully it will be soon

Maybe you have some infos as well, when Komplete Kontrol MK3 S88 will have Sonoma support as well? And I am really waiting for my Komplete Audio 6? I noticed it didn't work at all, but with some update (.2 or .3.1?) Now it gets recognized by Sonoma. But an official support is very welcomed, since I want to move to the new machine

Thanks a lot :)

Try giving Logic Pro full disk access (mine did not have it by default) and then rebuilding defaults

I was experiencing constant crashing in Logic 10.8.1 with Sonoma 14.3.1 but after doing that, everything seems to be working now. Perhaps it's older version of Logic that have Sonoma issues? I have the S61 MK3

Some other users recommended disabling MIDI 2.0 and making sure only MK3 MAIN and DAW were selected (not EXT or 2.0), so I did that. Regrettably I didn't do any testing to see if one specific change was responsible for the crashes, I just know it stopped after making those changes.

MIDI -> Inputs

Hope it helps.

I’m in the same boat.

Read the release notes yesterday for Kontakt 7.9 and also saw that reference to “Known Issue”.

Also agree that Komplete Kontrol is not as good. It’s klunky and not very user friendly.

I think that NI saying the bug lays with Apple in this situation doesn’t sound right, and they’re just buying time. Haven’t seen any evidence of this from NI even though they’re not obliged to disclose (which makes it an excellent cover).

All NI needs now are some customers finding out from Apple that it’s not on Apple but on NI to fix. They’re not thinking through how this can impact reputation (low competence and low empathy).

All of my experiments point to the Kontrol s49N mk3 keyboard being the variable that crashes Logic with Kontakt on Sonoma, but NI keep insisting the issue lies solely with Apple Sonoma. Granted it’s probably a combination, but many customers are still left in the dark and with an expensive keyboard that doesn’t work with Kontakt in Logic on Sonoma.

I wonder if Jacob Collier is on Sonoma? He’s the new poster boy and I’ve seen his videos with his new NI Keyboard and Kontakt in Logic.

Just confirming that Logic stil crashes when opening Kontakt 7.9 content. I see that it’s a known issue… Any news as to when this might get fixed? Is Apple responding to NI’s inquiries? This is a pretty major issue so I’m hoping it is on the mend as we speak.

It would be nice to know a bit more about the specific issue that Apple needs to address regrading this problem of Sonoma + Logic + Kontrol MK3 + Kontakt.

Very curious that there is a distinction between using Kontakt vs Komplete Kontrol in causing this problem. Does it relate to how graphics are being handled?
