    Hello, I'm curious: is someone here who has the same issue with the standalone Version of Kontakt (version 6.2.2) not working after upgrading to Mojave ?I've deleted all necessary Preferences files, restarted, but the standalone version will not boot up.
    It works fine in any DAW. Can someone help out, please ?

    Having you tried using Permissions Reset or BatChmod to repair the permissions on the app?

    For those who can't open the standalone version here's a fix:

    Step1: Install kontakt and (RESTART COMPITER)

    Open Terminal

    Step2: xcode-select --install

    Step3: sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Native\ Instruments/Kontakt/Kontakt.app

    Cracked apps needs to be codesigned in order to work in your machine. Need Xcode to do this.

    Has anyone found a working version of Kontakt 5.6.0 standalone for M1/Big Sur? Most of the librairies won't show later in Kontakt 6 in Ableton.
