VST3 of Kontakt immediately crashes Ableton

Post by Theu_ » Sat Jul 01, 2023 3:27 pm

Hello people!

Probably it is a very silly and easy to solve problem but I have done some research on the internet and have not found a solution yet..

Until now I have always worked with AU third party plugins in Ableton. Now I would like to start working with VST3 more often. When I start an empty project and load Kontakt as VST3 on an empty midi track in Ableton it works fine. But as soon as I try this again on a second midi track, the whole program immediately crashes.

When I load the AU version of Kontakt I can immediately stack dozens without problems as usual.

Things I've already tried according to the internet:
- I have loaded Kontakt as standalone and selected the driver and interface.
- I tried to delete the Db folder in the NI>Application Support folder. This did not solve the problem so I just put the original back.
- I have no problem stacking other plugins.

Ableton 11.3.3
Kontakt 6.8.0
Mac Studio, M1 max with Monterey currently

Thank you very much in advance!

I was having the same problem with Live version 11.3.3 along with other problems too so I downgraded to version 11.2.1 and all is working again. Hopefully a fix is issued soon.

Downgraded and it worked flawlessly. You are my hero of today, sir.
