natdame Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hi-- I recently purchased an instrument sample that needs Kontakt 5 to run (it is a .nki file). So I downloaded Kontakt 5. I'm able to drag the sample into the Kontakt window, but Kontakt is not showing up in the I / O slot in Logic. I believe it should appear as an AU Instrument. When I open the Audio Units Manager, it doesn't appear. I've tried removing the Kontakt component from the component folder and restoring it there. Perhaps Kontakt is not in the correct folder in which Logic searches for AU applications? Or is it because I have only downloaded the demo and not the full version? Shouldn't the demo still appear and be able to be used? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Did you put it in the User Library components folder? Remember it's hidden by default. Gotta hold down Option in the Finder Go menu to be able to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natdame Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 No, it doesn't seem to be there. When I press Option and go to that Library, I don't see a components folder. Should it be in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cephalopod Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Seems like you installed the Standalone version of the program. You also need to install the AU version (and it must be in the Components folder) if you want to run it as a plug-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cephalopod Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 The Components folder is found here: Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natdame Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Yes, Kontakt 5.component is there, along with my other AU library components. What is the difference between the standalone and the AU versions? I mean, how do I know which I am downloading? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Did you check the AU Manager in Logic to see if it's validated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natdame Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Yeah, I mentioned in my original post that it doesn't appear in Logic's AU Manager at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cephalopod Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 The Standalone version will install into you Applications folder. The AU plug-in component will install into the Components folder. If you have the .component file in the right spot, and it sounds like you do, you should be able to launch it from within Logic, so I don't know what's happening there.

triplets Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Are you using it for Logic 9? If yes, remember Logic 9 is 32-bit and that Kontakt is 64-bit only. Gotta use Logic X or try launching Logic 9 in 64-bit mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
