Problems with Kontakt 5 VST and MAX MSP

Emilio Andreozzi's icon

Hi everybody, I'm new with the use of Max Msp with VST.

I noticed that using the vst~ object I'm able to open only few of the VST instruments I got on my computer.
For example I'm not able to open Massive or Kontakt of Native Instruments, but I'm able to open Reaktor 4/5 and B4 II (the hammond B3 emulator of Native Instruments), and I really can't understand where's the difference between the VSTs.

The error that I receive from the attempt to open Kontakt VST inside the vst~ object (using "plug" message) is: "Kontakt 5.dll: no format VST exists".
And the message is the same for Massive.
Does someone know why this happens?

Thank you all for reading this thread and have a good day.

Emilio

Kontakt works fine for me under windows.

There may be something funky with your installation.

Are you on windows or mac?

32-bit vs 64-bit?
