Since Kontakt 7 was released I've been running into an issue specifically with the VST3 version of K7 hosted inside of PatchWork.

Inserting K7 VST3 into Patchwork (as standalone or PW Synth plugin in in any DAW) works fine and displays the plugin UI after first insertion. As soon as you close the plugin UI (either close the K7 window or use the insert's Show/Hide Editor button in PatchWork) the K7 UI will not reopen. It still functions fine (MIDI goes in and audio comes out as usual). Just won't show the UI again.

PatchWork 2.6 on macOS 12.6

Thanks for the heads up. Do you maybe see an empty or blank window when reopening the UI?

No, the window doesn't even open.

I did notice in the 7.1 beta that an issue related to Kontakt UI not reopening has been fixed so I will check that out and see if it resolves this.
