    It's part of Audiosex spirit :) You have to find out everything by yourself, and deduct things, keep making mistakes 50 times until you hit the right solution on the 51st attempt... There is maybe 4 different threads on Kontakt/M1, each with different tools and install instructions that contradict each other, it's pretty counter-intuitive.

    Keep dreaming about an admin or member making a sticky post with clear and straight to the point, no-bullshit step-by-step instructions - in my experience people love to speak too much about themselves or as if you knew what they're referring to, so I'm afraid it won't happen here.

    to help others For an Mac OS11 M1 install for cracked Kontakt: NO older version of kontakt needed, no copy and replacing cracked files, ect..

    Search for on the web and Download
    Kontakt 6 - v6.5.3 R3 PROPER
    AKA: Native Instruments Kontakt 6 v6.5.3 PROPER MacOS-MORiA (1.06 GB)

    Make sure its the larger 1.06gig size download
    It will contain two installation files, follow directions on which one first. Then "upgrade" it to the second installation included in download

    After this step search the internet for "KiTTY Library Scripts" and download that. It will be a DMG filled with executable scripts that will allow you to add libraries easily. Run the "add library.command" and just find and select the library you want to add into kontakt. (you'll have to run this multiple times for every library you want to add)

    It will ask for your password within the terminal window that opens, enter your password, then hit return for the script to run. If you DONT get it to ask for your password, it didn't work and the library isn't compatible. It will then prompt you to finish up by hitting a key and it should clean up the files and finish.

    You are done and now you can run kontakt and see your installed library(s)

    Confirmed working Mac mini with Mac OS 11.3 M1 chip -

    :like: Many thanks, @blueline2612, :like:

    for describing how to use the script. You made my day!

    Having my libraries organized in folders like "Guitars" etc, I simply selected a collection folder and the KITTY script added the included libraries in one go. Pure magic!

    Kontakt still needs Rosetta2 emulation, which is a bit pathetic,
    anyway, 6.6 VST3i works just fine with spt's patch

    just adding this in case other people run into problems and look here. the kitty library script does not seem to work through an external hard drive. I had to copy the nicnt to a folder on my mac itself and run the script on that folder. the good news however with that is it seemed to work with with every nicnt in the folder and added them all in one run.

    I am on a mac M1 - I downloaded Moria version and followed the instructions (installed both versions on proper order). When I opened Kontakt in Logic Pro X - it says it needed to be activated... Can anyone please help?

    Firstly, thank you for putting this together so others could benefit from your efforts. I am in the same position that you were in - confused as hell and reminiscing on when this was so much easier. I recently upgraded my mac and installed the latest logic and downloaded kontakt 7. Since then I have been at a stand-still.

    How is everything going?
    Have you upgraded to Kontakt 7.x.x or still pushing ahead with 6.x.x?
    Have you been updating your osx?
    13.x.x is the latest and I see you had 11.3 in your post above.
    Any further recommendations based on what you've learned since '22?
