I have Acid 5 and I bought kompakt seperatly about a year ago. I worked great until recently when I had to reinstall everything. Since then Acid can't find it as a VST instrument. I have tried reinstalling Kompakt several times and even tried running it with only the VST featrure selected. No dice! Can anyone help me narrow down the problem? Thanks

On the ACID Tips page on my web site I have several procedures to follow to get VSTi's working again. You might want to try them and see if they help.

I tried your page but that speaks to VSTi and I believe kompakt is a VST. Therefore the inner folders are different. No plugins folder. Any other ideas? Thanks

Kompakt is most definitely a VSTi. It is a sample player and thus an "instrument".

> Therefore the inner folders are different. No plugins folder.

What are you referring to? I'm not following you.Where did you install Kompact and if you didn't install it in the default "C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins" folder (where ACID is looking by default) then did you tell ACID where you installed it?

I strongly recommend that all VST/VSTi plug-ins be installed into the default "C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins". You will have less problems by keeping your workstation standardize.

I am having this problem with Acid Pro 6.0, new install of both as I had upgraded from 5.0 to have this option and have yet to get it to work. Not sure I even know how to use it, perhaps this is the problem. I will let you know if I hear-find anything out about this myself! Good luck to you!

I do have it installed in the default folder which is programs/vstplugins. It is also in the Native iNstruments folder. I have tried refreshing it and browsing it from both the vst and vsti tabs in the preferences window. I thought it was a vst because of the file name KompaktVST.dll. Most of the VSTi files have the VSTi.dll file name. Do you have any other thoughts that might work. Thanks

Did you try editing the registry like I outline on my web site? That usually fixes it.
