Hi all, and especially Kontakt experts:
Kontakt plugin is recently crashing DP when I want to re-open certain files. (I'm not sure if some of the files were created before I last updated Kontakt.) It seems inconsistent as to what files will crash and not open. I might 'get lucky' if I try several times, but some files just won't open with Kontakt in plugins.
I'm using Kontakt's latest version (5.4.3.307) and am on DP 8.05 with Mountain Lion.
Any suggestions as to what to look for?
- disabling Kontakt 'Memory Server'? enabling?
- disabling 'multi-core' use? enabling?
- redownload Kontakt?
Thanks!

I would open Kontakt stand-alone and check that the instruments being used are all loading properly. You might need to rebuild the DB.
Cheers,

…string theory says that all subatomic particles of the universe are nothing but musical notes. A, B-flat, C-sharp, correspond to electrons, neutrinos, quarks, and what have you. Therefore, physics is nothing but the laws of harmony of these strings. Chemistry is nothing but the melodies we can play on these strings. The universe is a symphony of strings and the mind of God… it is cosmic music resonating through 11 dimensional hyperspace.

Re: Kontakt crasing DP on opening file
Thanks, I took your advice. (... 'twas a good time to update DP anyways. Nice! Seems a bit 'snappier' on my system. Bonus! I always love it when a software update just 'works'!)
All's good. One file that wouldn't open now magically opened, and for the other 'still a problem' file, I used the fantastic DP lifesaver... "Load".
I loaded the 'chunk' from the problem file into a new file, and voila!
Just have to fix up some of my audio out changes, etc., but all is well.

Super: glad it arranges because it was not sure that helps.
