Kontakt 5 64-bit VST fails in DP8

Post by danika »

Kontakt 5 64-bit VST fails validation in DP8. The 32-bit version passes as does 64-bit AU. I do not have this problem using Cubase. I'm use VST since I need to create projects for both Win and Mac (when the DP8 Win version finally is released).

The VST Kontakt 4 (latest version) also fails in DP 8.01. :( (At least the AU version passes.)

Is it VST 3 by any chance? I know VST 3 is not supported in DP 8.01.

I didn't realize that K5 was the same sound set as K4. I know the format was altered, but given they're the same sounds and the AU for K4 seems to work I guess I spent $200 a bit prematurely. Oh well, could always use the deduction, and it is supporting a company who's products I use.

Supposedly, the filters are better in K5, so it sounds better than K4 overall.. but I'm not going to take the time to compare the two. I upgraded recently too (Komplete), and it's all I can do to change out K4 for K5 in my templates. However, in DP8, I have found that I can change 4 to 5 (AU) without having to reload the sounds, which is fantastic! Couldn't do that in 7.24.
