Mac users that use Kontakt Player as a VST or AU plug-in may experience an issue after updating to Kontakt Player 5.6.5. After updating Kontakt, DAW and notation software may no longer recognize Kontakt. Version 5.6.5 is only available as a 64-bit plugin on Mac. Host programs that are 32-bit only or are running in 32-bit mode will not recognize the most recent version of Kontakt Player. Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem.
Solution: Locate a previous version of Kontakt Player and downgrade to Kontakt Player 5.5.2 or lower. Older versions of Kontakt Player will recognize 32-bit plug-ins on Mac.
Previous versions of Kontakt Player and more information about this issue can be found here on the Native Instruments website.
