Unless I've missed it, has anyone gotten it to work with Wine, or through
Windows in VirtualBox? I'm building a machine that will have most versions
of Windows as VirtualBoxes, just to experiment with it, & to get away from
Windows, albeit slowly, but this isn't my DAW, just a strong Linux (Fedora
17) box.
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...
