Post by BerndJunker »

I installed DP9, KONTAKT 5 and some libraries, but KONTAKT 5 is not available.

Windows? 32 bit or 64 bit?

Do you have DP running 32 bit or 64?

Did you install Kontakt 5 32 bit or 64?

DP has to know where to find Kontakt. You may have to map the path. If you do and DP still can’t find it, recheck the 32/64 bit issue. They have to match up.

Did you install both in their default locations and reboot? If so, this is odd.

Kontakt default is in the NI folder in Applicationa. If DP cannot find it, you have to show it where Kontaktis Likewise, Kontakt is a player for its libraries but those paths are mapped in the NI Service Center application.

Browsing and mapping paths is something everyone needs to learn. It’s easier on the Mac but the basics are little different. DP needs to find Kontakt and if it doesn’t happen automatically,you need to do it manually. First, you need to know where everything is.

Just for kicks, try reinstalling DP and reboot. See if the paths reset automatically. Both apps must be installed in their default locations for the best chance at success.

The paths are as follows:

Kontakt 5
C:\Programme\Native Instruments\Kontakt 5

Kontakt 5.dll, Massive.dll, Reaktor 6.dll ...
C:\Programme\Native Instruments\VSTplugins 64 bit

Libraries (NI only)
E:\Kontakt\Drum Lab
E:\Kontakt\Kinetic Metal
...
E:\Kontakt\Kontakt Factory Library
...

MOTU DP 9
C:\Programme\MOTU\Digital Performer DE 9.1


If I open Kontakt 5 directly, I can play all Libraries.
