After endless beta-testing and failing for months in running k6 and k5 in S1,
I finally I installed a modded portable version that worked and would load.
Problem is the dll name is "Kontakt 5 Portable x64 16out mod.dll". In this shape, Studio One loads Kontakt 5.

If I rename "Kontakt 5 Portable x64 16out mod.dll" to "Kontakt 5.dll", the genius studio one plugin manager just loads kontakt 6.

If I load an older project, Studio One says "kontalt 5 is not installed on your system", although it is and it loads manually.

Help!, thank you and pardon my frustration...

 

i run studio one 4.6 with kontakt 6. although i'm no expert and i struggled with kontakt for a long time but i belive the was a version on sis site that was easy to install (worked for me like a charm) it was posted by pirate seek it out
best of luck

 

That's odd. I think both legit and non-legit versions can coexist. Definitely the cr*cked ones can, I use them without the need of the portable version.

Go to studio one - help - open settings folder

go to x64 folder

backup Plugins-en.settings ---> rename to Plugins-en.whateversettings

open Plugins-en.settings with notepad

search for Kontakt

delete unnecessary entries and if <Attributes numClasses="0"> rename to <Attributes numClasses="1">

check for duplicate UniqueIDs and classIDs and leave only what you need.

That's how to run kontakt 5 and kontakt 6 and portable versions in presonus studio one.

enjoy life )
