No matter what I do I am unable to even see Kontakt 8 as a plugin to insert into an Instance in VEP 7. I have been using VEP 7 for years.
The only Kontakt versions that show up are 4 and 5. I have modified the Preferences VST Settings folders to scan, rescanned multiple times, but VEP fails to see the Kontakt8.vst3 plugin to add it as an available option.
Kontakt 8 is installed and licensed. I am able to add it as an instrument in Cubase and to run it as a standalone app and access libraries.
I am at my wits end. The VST3 file is located in the Program Files > Common Files > VST3 folder, so in theory it should be available
ALL of my other apps work as options to insert in instances. Anyone have any ideas or help?
