Symptoms
After having installed the KONTAKT 5.6 update on a Mac computer:
- KONTAKT is no longer displayed in your host sequencer's plug-ins browser.
- your host sequencer shows an error message indicating KONTAKT cannot be loaded when you try to load a project using KONTAKT.
Cause
On Mac computers KONTAKT is only available in 64-bit plug-in format since version 5.6. KONTAKT will thus no longer be compatible with your host sequencer if it is running in 32-bit mode.
Solution
You have two options to solve this issue:
- Start your host sequencer in 64-bit mode if you want to use KONTAKT's latest update. Consult your host sequencer's documentation to learn how to start it in 64-bit mode.
- Downgrade your KONTAKT to version 5.5.2. To do so, download one of the following installation files, depending if you are using the full version of KONTAKT or KONTAKT PLAYER.
