How do you get Kontakt player 6 to work in Cakewalk by Bandab please?

When you installed it you must have selected VST, whether or not you installed the standalone version.
It should be in a folder that is already in Cakewalk's scan path list.
If Cakewalk isn't set for auto scanning, you will have to scan manually:
     Edit -> Preferences -> File -> VST Settings -> Scan Options -> Scan

Then:

      Click on PlugIns and select Sort by Manufacturer
      Click on the little keyboard
      Click on the plus sign next to Native Instruments
      Drag and drop Kontakt onto the left pane
      In the dialog select MIDI Source and First Audio Output

      Click on the icon as seen in track 2 here. (It will say Kontakt, not SI-Bass Guitar)
      In Kontakt select an instrument from the left pane
      You can preview the sound by clicking on the keyboard at the bottom of Kontakt

On my machine Kontakt created it's own folders when I installed it.  Here's the path:

C>Program Files>Native Instruments>Kontakt

Check and see if NI did that for you too.  If it did just point a VST scan per Nigel MacKay's direction (above) and it ought to pop up for you.

Hi all,

I have a similar problem with Kontakt 6.3.1.

I recently got this version from a friend who doesn't use it any more.

Problem is when I use it in Cakewalk. ( As standalone no problem whatsoever.) When I use it in cakewalk it works fine first time, but after saving it it gives me an error every time, logs out and next time I try to use it I cannot recall the file. I have tried every configuration I can think of but nothing works. Had the Player version for a while without any problems. Is there something I'm missing? Is there another NI app I must have for it to work?

Please help!

Regards

Bertus.
