I can't add Kontakt 6

[Gabriel Gagliardi]

I have Kontakt5 and Kontakt6 installed on my computer. My Sonar only recognizes 5. I want to be able to run both but I can't manually insert 6. Please help. Thanks,

[Robert Bone]

If you are not seeing it in the Browser Pane, in the list by categories, perhaps it is hiding in a different category, such as the Uncategorized category.  I normally go through the Uncategorized category after installing plugins, and assign each plugin to an appropriate one - like for Kontakt, I switched it to Sampler, for instance.

If not there, then perhaps it got excluded by the Cakewalk Plugin Manager, for some reason.

Kontakt 6 also has no number with it, it simply reads "Kontakt" and there are no multi-out variants like Kontakt 5 had.

[Tezza]

It will be there somewhere, lurking. If you install Kontakt, it's almost impossible for your DAW not to see it.

Unless you've installed it to a secluded location that is not on your current VST plugin list in Cakewalk.

Thanks to all who answered me but Kontakt6 does not appear. In other words, does anyone know where Sonar saves the data of the registered plugins? I will try to see there... (***.ini file maybe?)

[S.L.I.P.]

For me it is located in C:\Program Files\Native Instruments. You should see a folder VSTPlugins 64 bit. When you click on that you should see:  Kontakt.dll.  As previously mentioned, Kontakt is not labeled with a number as Kontakt 5 was.

If you run Native Access you will be able to see the Installation Path:

Thanks to your advice I have been able to locate the .dll file... thank you very much everyone!

This isn't exactly on topic but is Komplete start again and kontakt player virtually the same thing? Or do you need one or the other or both?

Fortunately, right now Kontakt Player 5 and 6 work simultaneously

Komplete Start gives you the latest players, Komplete Kontrol, and some additional free Kontent.

I don't know if this helps at all but I just downloaded and installed Komplete Start Suite.

I had to go into plugins manager and add the Native Instruments program files VST folders to the VST search path but they do come up and Cakewalk. It only says Kontakt. Not Kontakt 5 or 6. So I'm guessing it has to be the most current version regardless of the moniker.

In the Browser or Console view (I forget which and I'm not at home), there is a search box at the top of the screen that is easily missed. Type in kontakt and you should find it, double click on it and start your app.

The Kontakt 6 plugin is only identified as "Kontakt".
