  • Kontakt 4 in VE Pro 64 bit? (Mac Snow Leopard)

    Sorry if this has been discussed earlier but I got really different results when googling this...

    Will I be able to run Kontakt 4 in VE Pro 64-bit (standalone)? Mac Pro with Mac OS 10.6.3. The NI site seems to say no...(?)

    http://www.native-instruments.com/en/support/compatibility/mac-os-x-compatibility/

    "For the time being, Native Instruments does not recommend using 64bit kernel mode with music production software. The development efforts necessary to establish 64bit kernel mode compatibility for NI products are currently being evaluated."

    I have an orchestral template in VE Pro with only VSL instruments that I need to complement with some Kontakt sounds and I would really like to have all sounds in one instance (and not have to run a second VE Pro instance in 32 bit).

    Any first hand experience here?

    Mac Pro 2x2.8 Ghz, Mac OS 10.6.3

    Running VE Pro (64 bit) as one standalone instance and sending midi via IAC-buses from host.


  • I have been running K4 both in the 64 bit server of VE Pro and Logic 64 bit and it has been fine.

  • Great. Thanks!


  • Jay, are you talking about the public beta of Kontakt 4.1? Becuase as far as I know Kontakt will not be 64 bit until v4.1

  • Yes, 4.1.
