    I have recently re-installed Kontakt 5 on a pc. But VE pro 6 (latest version) will not see it when I ask it to scan the relevant vst folder. Any ideas? please? Is a Kontakt .dll in someway different from any other .dll as regards VE PRO?

    A 32/64bit version conflict, maybe?

    Thanks...yes, possibly....I shall try and investigate that. Also, it could be that Kontakt 5 64bit has not installed properly due to the absence of a windows system component that requires a windows update. I am currently waiting for 10 hours for the pc to try and update!

    Fwiw I'm having the same issue with the latest Kontakt 5 on MacOS. VSL wont see it even though the .vst and AU files are in place.... Maybe not related but as the Instrument is the same...?

    Hi Al, 

    Did you re-scan the plug-ins yet?

    Re-installation of Kontakt might also help.

    Thanks Paul. yes rescanned many times and I can see Vsl is checking the K5 plugin, but it doesn't appear in the list of available ones even in the preferences window.

    I'll try a clean K5 install.

     

    Thanks.

    Ok so I did a complete reinstall of Kontakt 5.6.5 today and still nothing in vienna ensemble 6. has anyone else had issues with this combination?

     

    Running on OSX (sorry Macos now lol) 10.12.1 and it works fine in Logic X 10.2.4 on the same Mac as well.

     

    thanks, Al

    Hi, 

    I´d also check that you don´t have multiple versions of Kontakt installed (maybe in different VST plug-in folders)...

    Thanks again for the reply Paul. I've checked what I have and where. I have the AU Kontakt 5 (ver 5.6.5) plugin in my core lib components folder and I have the three VST plugins (kontakt5.vst and the 8 and 16 varients) again all version 5.6.5 and again all in the core libraray folder. I have no plugins in my user lib folder.

     

    Have you had a chance to check K5 ver 5.6.5 out yet? It only came out a few days ago...

     

    thanks again.

    Does Vienna Ensemble write logs anywhere? I looked in Console and only found a single reference to it, but no log that appeared to report on plugin scanning?
