However, what Kontakt does not know is that you had manually copied the VST DLL file into the Finale VST folder. Now, with this picture, what happens if an update for Kontakt comes out? The updater tells you there is a new patch for Kontakt, and you choose Yes to install it. You can then copy it to Finale's VSTPlugins directory and all is well. If you accept the default location for the VSTi DLL file, it will most likely get placed in the location that MakeMusic refers to. The bundled freebie samples should generally be placed on another drive to ensure adequate performance. The support files should generally be installed into the recommended folder unless there is some good reason to do otherwise. When you install Kontakt for instance, it asks you for locations for all three components.
The Samples - these are the actual sound files, normally located on a different drive for best performance These are sometimes called the installation files or program files. The Support Files - help files, documentation, other DLL libraries, etc used by the VST instrument. The VSTi DLL File - this is used by the host program (Finale or some other notation program or DAW) to interface with the VSTi
what's wrong with doing that procedure?įirst, it's good to look at what makes up a VST Instrument (VSTi). Windows Vista/7: C:\ProgramData*\MakeMusic\Finale 201x\VST Support Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data*\MakeMusic\Finale 201x\VST Support Paste the Kontakt4.dll file to the following folder:
Windows Vista/7 C:\Programs\Native Instruments\Kontakt 4\VSTPlugins
Windows XP: C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Kontakt 4\VSTPlugins Copy the Kontakt4.dll file from the following folder: For instance, this information (straight from the Finale knowledgebase) is not really the ideal way of setting up Kontakt 4 to work in Finale:Ĭlose Finale. I often see a lot of strange advice regarding installations of VST instruments to work with Finale.
