I'd be wary of running Kontakt in a VM, as you want a lot of RAM to
get good performance (especially if you are using multiple instances).
You be better off getting a dedicated machine to run it and use it
like an outboard hardware sampler (send MIDI out, get audio back, this
is exactly how I use it). Haven't tried it on Wine...
