    please precise what :
    -version of kontakt
    - version of logic

    I haven't updated to 6.3 yet, but so far, on logic X (10.4) kontakt works with no issue ( os sierra)

    Now, more importantly, which library?
    How big? Because as above, all works fine here.
    Did u know that the more you have in Quickload, the slower Kontakt even boots as a plugin due to re-indexing or something?

    no library in particular.. just loading.. an EMPTY .. instance if KONTAKT takes a lot of time.. all the year.. I had worked that way .. but I'm trying to fix it now.. I have no idea what it could be..
    one strange thing is that.. when one instance of Kontakt is allready open.. the next ones load fast..
    only when it is only 1 intance in my projects.. if I have 2 tracks with 2 kontakts.. the next ones load fast..

    Ah, yes. Well this may relate to what I said about Quickload.
    So it's not the fact that one instance is already open.
    I bet if u load one instance of Kontakt in your daw, then quit that Kontakt and create and open a new Kontakt...it will still load fast?!
    It's because of indexing on a per-session basis. Once this is done at the start of a computer session, it won't need to keep doing it.
    So, do you have a lot of libraries loaded in Quickload?

    Btw, I don't think this is a "bug"!

    How many libraries do you have added? Do you use Database? What drive do you host your libraries on?

    Kontakt is slow to load normally. Komplete Kontrol is even slower. Haven't noticed any difference since v5 though.

    yes if after I load the first empty kontakt it takes the first one for the first time like 13 seconds.. then load another track empty too..it take 1 second..in the quickload I hide them all I use the "files" menu.. it is faster.. for me.. well I have like 40 libraries of kontakt..
    but this problem didn't happend before.. with the same number of libraries.. it was very very fast .. suddenly 1 year ago after some 6 update.. it started happening.. and leave the problem for later.. I wonder was it is..

    Check if you have anything in Quickload, and check if you have millions of entries in Database. If you're not using them, clear both as they increase both startup time and memory use for each instance.

    thank you; i think I found the problem.. but not shure if it is fix it yet.. I remove the some .plist from Mac/Library/preferences .. and now loads normally.. but some are not registered.. so I will add them again and check if that speed up ..or maybe it will be the same.. I don't know.
