    Hey all.

    I've spent countless hours building a template for my boss. I meticulously set up and tested every single instance. Never had any issues.

    I'm away from his studio when the issues arise. He's telling me his Piccolos from Cinewind's running through Kontakt aren't working. He sent me this image showing the Kontakt instance greyed out and italicized. I can't seem to find what this means anywhere. I've seen similar red and italicized instances in other peoples templates but that is a different issue altogether. My first thoughts were a disabled plug-in (as I disabled everything before doing a final save). Not being there I can't confirm but he didn't think they were disabled. I also asked him to make sure the VEP plug-ins were connected, so I can rule that out.

    I feel like this is a super simple issue but again, not being there I can't really trouble shoot properly. He's going out of town tomorrow otherwise I'd just ask Vienna support. Hoping someone knows whats up!

    Thank you.

    i bet this did happen after kontakt 8 installation. at list that was my experience . the lesson i learned was

    1) keep Veps only for synchron libraries and find another solution for kontakt one.

    2) watch out and study very carefully where all this departure from kontakt is going .

    the point is that all the big brands that are departing from kontakt will have some kind of "war "with the old "boss"" so make sure you wont get in the middle 😊

    Wow, that is so sad. Luckily Spitfires new apps run pretty well. Such a shame to have all these issues in the modern age.

    By departure youre referring to the routing (midi / audio)??

    Thanks!

    @passionpunch

    with ""departing from kontakt" I meant brands like VSL , orchestral tools or spitfire are relying on their own domestic play software for their libraries and fading way from kontakt support. so for the future i thing we will see more eco systems growing. if you build around VSL eco system ( i thing they going for that ) than you should look out who fits in that system better to have a better result 😊
