KONTAKT does not Show Up in my Host Sequencer After Having Updated to Version 5.6 (Mac)

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:

  1. 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.
  2. Downgrade 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.
