Kontakt 4 showing up as VST

[amhinson]

I'm using Sibelius 6 on a PC.

I am trying to get Kontakt 4 up and running, but for some reason it is showing up in the "Available Devices" / "Type" column as simply "VST" instead of "Kontakt". I am unable to use the correct sound set if it is "VST". Can anyone help?

Exactly which version of Sibelius are you using? 6.0, 6.1, 6.2

Exactly which template are you trying to setup? VDL 6.x, VDL 7.x, SE6

Exactly which version of Kontakt 4, or Kontakt Player 4 are you using?

Please attach a screen shot of your Playback Configuration window.

Sibelius 6.0

VDL 7.a

Kontakt 4.2.4

Thanks for the info.

I believe the problem is with the version of Sibelius. You'll need to be running Sibelius 6.2 so that it will properly see Kontakt Player 4 as a Kontakt device. http://www.sibelius.com/helpcenter/upgrades.html

Let me know if issues persist.
