VDL Playback Issue

[madison9091]

I'm having problems setting up the settings for playback with midi. When I select Kontakt Player 5 and click on the pencil icon I'm not getting any image in the Audio Image Viewer. I do have VDL installed in the Kontakt player, but it is not coming up in the viewer.

Which operating system and versions of Finale  and VDL do you have running? Is this a new problem with a stable system or have you recently installed Finale, Kontakt and VDL?

I'm running OS x version 10.9 on my mac book pro. I'm using finale 2011 and VDL 2.5.5. I currently have VDL running fine on Sibelius 7. I'm just having trouble setting it up on finale.

Every other Device comes up in the Audio viewer when I click the pencil icon; DL Music Device, Apple AU Sampler, Garritan Aria Player.

With Finale open, check the MIDI/Audio menu. Go MIDI/Audio > Device Set Up > Manage AU Plugins > scroll through the list of active devices. Is Kontakt listed there? if it's not listed there, scroll through the inactive list. If it's not there, check HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components. Is it listed there?

I have Kontak 5 selected but when I click the pencil it's not showing have attached several screen shots. I hope that might help shed some light on what I'm missing.

Additional Screen Shots

Thanks for the screen shots. This helps narrow down the problem a bit.

When Kontakt is open in stand alone mode, meaning not open from within Finale or Sibelius, does VDL appear in either the File or Library tabs? These are found on the left side of the window. It is strange that VDL is appearing in Kontakt from within Sibelius but not Finale.

I'd also keep an eye on this thread from NI. It may be nothing related to your specific problem.

This thread from the Finale forums may help as well.

VDL is showing in standalone mode and is working fine in Sibelius. I can't figure out what I don't have configured correctly.

Did you look at the thread from the Finale forums? There is an issue with Kontakt 5 and Finale 2011. This can be resolved using the latest versions of both applications.
