DP / Kontakt problem

Post by manwalksintoabar »

I could use some help please!

DP 8.0
Kontakt 5

I am using a Focusrite USB 2 Audio Driver. When I run Kontakt 5 alone, everything works fine. My Audio settings are

DRIVER: ASIO
DEVICE: Focusrite USB 2.0 Audio Driver
DEVICE DRIVER CONFIG: ASIO Config
STATUS: Running
SAMPLE RATE: 44100
LATENCY: 133 Samples

When I use DP with Kontakt as a plugin, the configuration above doesn't work and I get this error message. . .
"DP has encountered an error. The selected audio hardware could not be found. Check that the device is connected to your computer and turned on."
- - -

This is the configuration I try to use with DP.

DRIVER: ASIO
DEVICE: ASIO4ALL
CONFIGURE DRIVER: ASIO Config
STATUS: Running
SAMPLE RATE: 44100
LATENCY: 133 Samples

This setup did work a couple of weeks ago but I don't klnow what happened or changed.

The 32 bit Kontakt .dll files are in located in Program Files (86) folder. The 64 bit Kontakt .dll files are in the Program Files/VST folder.

Thanks for any help you might offer.

FWIW, I was having the same problem with 8.0 and K5, on the Mac side. Problem went away when I went to 8.01 or 8.02, somewhere back there.. Now I'm on 8.04 and every now and then it crashes on quit, says Kontakt is the reason. It only seems to happen on quit though, so hasn't been too big a concern for me.

Oh, and make sure your K5 is the latest version!
