Using Kontact 4 Player as a plug-in with Live Lite?

Post by Jome7 » Tue Jun 15, 2010 8:26 pm

I have Live Lite 8.1.3, and I got the free Kore and Kontact players from NI. Ableton sees Kore in my VST plug-in folder, but not Kontact. The Kontact player includes both 32 and 64-bit plug-in versions, and I am on Vista 64-bit. I tried both since I know that Live is not 64-bit, but neither of them show up in Ableton.

Make sure that the Kontakt VST dll is in the folder where you are pointing to in the preference tab.

Yes, they are in the same VST folder as the Kore plug-in.

There are three dll files for it:

Kontakt 4 8out.dll
Kontakt 4 16out.dll
Kontact 4.dll

There are also 64-bit versions of the same files. Should I be putting all of those into the VST folder as I am now, or just choosing one for my specific configuration? I don't even have a MIDI controller or anything right now, so it's just the PC.

***Ok, got it to show up by just using the Kontakt 4 and Kontakt 8out dll's. Tried the same with the 64-bit versions but I had the same problem again, so I guess I'll just leave it like this.

I am experiencing the same with Kontakt 4.1 in Live Suite 8.1.3. I have Kontakt 4.1 installed in the folder with all other VSTs. I have rescanned the plug in folder and Live is not seeing the Kontakt .dll files. I have tried completely uninstalling Kontakt and re-installing and then running the 4.11 update patch, but I am getting the same result. I'd switch back to my Kontakt 4.0 install, but I had already done the batch convert of my files for the background loading feature before I knew the plug in version wasn't working. Anyone know a way around this issue? As Kontakt is my primary sample player, I am missing most of my library right now and would really appreciate any tips. Has anyone gotten Kontakt 4.1 and Live 8.1.3 talking together?
