Kontakt reopens with a blank screen (any VSTi) #21329
Comments
FWIW I cannot reproduce on macOS |
@zacjansheski pls investigate |
I did not reproduce this (Tried with Kontakt 5 and Kontakt 7) 2024-02-02.10-12-52.mp4 |
Only explanation here is that we're using kontakt 7 portable. Can you try that instead? |
I don't know what Kontakt 7 Portable is. I tested again today using the full version of Kontakt 7 with Picked Nylon and Stradivari violin and found no issue when closing and reopening a Kontakt Native Instruments instrument. Well report back if I encounter the problem initially posted. scorster |
Portable is a non program files install- it goes in any folder and is a .exe. |
@scorster I can repro with these steps. Are you using the same?

Hi Dmitry, Yes. Exactly. On MacOS 13.5.2 in MuseScore 4.2.1, as you described: Step 3 provokes the empty Kontakt window. scorster |
Cool. Thanks for confirmation! I'll add those steps to description |
Thanks for working to ensure a solid MuseScore/Kontakt connection. But now there's this: https://musescore.org/en/node/359683#comment-1229828 So presently I'm no longer able to test this issue raised in this thread. |
I can now reproduce this using Kontakt 6.8, following the updated repro steps above. |
This is very interesting. I cannot reproduce that issue anymore with a proper Kontakt 7 install, 7.8 to be clear- NON PORTABLE. |
Strange.. It still happens on my side. Did you try these steps?
|
It happens for Kontakt 7 Portable. |
MuseScore 4.2.1 freeze/abend issues persist with Kontakt 7.9 |
I am going to chime in here too. I just downloaded "The Free Orchestra 1 and 2" with Kontakt 7.9. I am on MS4.2.1 on Windows 11. When I try to access Kontakt via VST, it "opens" the program and shows the libraries, but when I open a library, there are no instruments shown, No errors, just an empty screen. Standalone Kontakt works fine, and the VST works fine in a different notation program. |
I am seeing the same behavior when using Halion Sonic. |

Workaround is to close and reopen the score. Actually, maybe you have to restart MuseScore.
