    Hi everyone.

    I'm struggling with getting the newest version of Kontakt Player to work with my old Logic Pro 9.1.8. An error message comes up when running Logic, and the Kontakt-plugin is marked with a line across in the rectangular box (see screen-shot). The error message says: "Logic Pro: Plug-in 'Kontakt 5' not available".

    I've tried checking off the box in the application-show-info-section, but Logic is still running in 32-bit mode. Am I overlooking something here? As far as I've understood, the new Kontakt Player only works if you're running in 64-bit mode. Is that correct? Any response would be helpful, thanks.

    PS: I'm using a Macbook with the newest update and 8 GB of RAM plus 2,7 GHz intel core i5 if that makes any difference. Logic.error-message.jpg

    It's probably just not compatible. Logic 9 is now four years old, which is an eternity in computer versions...probably time to upgrade to Logic X I'm afraid.

    Was afraid of that, thanks for your response. An upgrade is expensive though, I just don't want to upgrade to a newer version if I don't have to, but now it seems I do.

    If you still have the installer available for the older version of Kontakt Player you can always go back to that, for the time being. I'll guess that the libraries that you currently have do not need / use the very latest features of v5.6.x.

    Didn't I read somewhere that the OSX version is 64-bit only?
    Edit: "Supported Interfaces: Mac OS X (64-bit only): Stand-alone, VST, AU, AAX"

    True, only I don't have that (that I can find at least). It's now ended in me buying the newest version (wohoo), hoping it will solve all my problems. Thanks for the responses though!
