I can confirm Kontakt 6 works fine. I can also confirm that 32 Lives launch client works fine, however I believe the app itself runs on 32-bit code so although you can launch the app none of the resurrected plugins actually work. Kind of obsolete at this point. Same thing as Winebottler, runs on 64-bit launch client, but the genetics of the app are 32-bit therefore they don't work...

 

Not sure what happened to my last reply, but anyways Kontakt 6 works not sure about 5. All libraries functioning fine. All NI plugins are working fine. 32 Lives will launch, but none of the resurrected plugins actually work.

 

My reply to you keeps getting deleted. So no I guess I cant confirm

 

Soundtoys and saussage fattener are still working here

 

Kontakt 5 yes, 32lives no

 

Kontakt 5-6 works but does not see some the library example all heavyocity is not work or sound yeti collision FX or Chris hein ensemble strings
these sounds are added but do not appear, many library after catalina update worked properly, but there are still many invisible or many libraries that don't appear.

I think Kontakt will need a new update

 

pretty sure the new laptop ill get will have it installed by default and time machine backups will make my k'ed softube plugins useless hmmm. will 32 lives be updated?

 

I dont think so... cuz you have to use the 32bit installers of the plugs first and then convert on 32lives. Catalina won't let you use 32bit installers

 

Have anyone tried changing the "libstdc++" files on Catalina, which is requested when installing some k'ed plugins?
I'm updating the OP right now, and need to know if I won''t mess with this.

Thanks

 

well between that (Keygen APP), 32Lives, and other things not working as reported by you kind people, well. damn. seems fucked and hope changes.

Will be following this thread closely.. I personally due to tons of legacy projects that can be called upon with demand at a moments notice, i have to keep snow leopard, mountain lion, and mavericks all available, was gonna make yet ANOTHER boot drive for Sierra (or el cap but might as well go to sierra as is there a difference? and not asking rhetorically, cause if i shouldn't skip it please let me know!)...

but now this.

thud.

 

before testing, run this commands:

plugins (x64) with old installers works if you manualy copy all files, but intallers are broken

$ sudo spctl --master-disable
$ auval -a
$ sudo spctl --master-enable

for now, lot of vst works and vst3

daws: ableton live, dp 10 logic alll works fine exept pro one

 

Right click the libstdc++ file and hit open then hit open on the following message. The same message might show up when you open the plugin in your daw, just hit open again and you should be good

 

I think the only way to use catalina is to have a separate system for legacy projects. apple didn't have to do this or could have had a 32lives style app to carry these sort of things over. But probably 90% of the mac users don't care and just move on regardless.

 

Spoiler: spoiler

assuming you have correct libs placed in Applications/ilok folder do this commands in terminal for every app/plugin you want:
sudo install_name_tool -change /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib /Applications/ilok/libstXX++.6.dylib APP_OR_VST_PACKAGECONTENTS_MACOS_BINARY_LOCATION

 

im having issue with installing kontakt in mac os 10.15. I always get this error

 

I care, and I'm sick of having 3 separate boot drives, now going to a fourth, and in addition having to go to a fifth for catalina lol.... fuck them... i will be very sad the day I have to switch to damn catalina if it doesn't allow for 32lives etc... so it goes for now...

 

kontakt 6.1.1 update does not install

 

Will be really useful, Thank you!

When adding the directory of the VST/APP in terminal.... is it the actual full "contents" folder which has all the resources and MacOs folders inside, or should I only add in terminal the directory of "MacOS" folder which is inside the contents one?

 

Any updates on this thread regarding what actually works in Catalina?

 

I have a problem opening latest Kontakt 6.2.1
