logic and kontakt 1.5 - the basics

Hello,

can anyone give me some basics about running logic 6.3 on OSX with Kontakt 1.5.

I bought Kontakt about two months ago and have been waiting until the update to start using it. So, I downloaded the update and all is good so far as I can tell. I have little experience with plug-ins and I don't know how to get Logic to recognize Kontakt. As I understand it, I should be able to pull up Kontakt from the insert of an audio instrument channel but I can't find it there. Are there some other settings that need to be made first? Do I need to make some adjustments in the Environment???

Any help is greatly appreciated

logic - kontakt

It should reside in your components folder in Library-Audio-plug Ins on your Mac and come up on your instrument channels below the ESX24 and ES1, etc. I have had a ton of problems getting Vokator and Intakt to work in Logic with TDM hardware, but maybe other audio drivers will work better.

further questions - logic and kontakt

when installing kontakt, the audio units install does not appear to install where i directed it to install, or anywhere else for that matter. where should the audio units portion of the install be installed or is that taken care of with the easy install?

thanks,
joe

 

Easy install will sort it

The install will plonk the AU/component in the correct folder. It also installs the standalone version of the app too.

There is a post here somewhere about setting up a multi timbral kontakt - this you DO have to do in the environment.

I'm sure you've read the problems users hava had with the OSX version of 1.5 - I had to register my copy (fully) before it will work. Ie the 30day version doesn't appear and in fact removed all my AU plugs!

 

Re: logic - kontakt

Sorry man but nobody wants to answer to this question:
so kontakt 1.5 as any other new updated OSX NI software works also in TDM using Logic Audio? or the RTAS plugs works only on pro-tools?

i don't wanna use them in AU, i want NI directly into TDM hardware in Logic Audio, no ESB, so you have kontakt 1.5 and pro-tools hardware (i hope), can you answer me to this simple question? thanks!
