Hello, looks like 10.1.1 brought some unwanted side-effects. All Kontakt AU plugin interfaces are having severe UI issues. The Kontakt libraries are working just fine under Kontakt 5 standalone player and also as AU plugins in Reaper, but not in Logic Pro X. I tried reinstalling one library, but it did not help.
Example from Action Strings:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
Update Kontakt via NI's Service Manager
No problems here with K5 v5.4.3's GUI and LPX 10.1.1 and OS X 10.10.2
Failing that.. Contact NI Support....

Ok, I shall try removing the Kontakt and reinstall it.
I removed Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > Plug-ins > Components > Kontakt 5.component and reinstalled Kontakt 5. The issue seems to be gone now.
Bummer, the issue came back. I'm starting to loose my hair soon...😠

Nigel,
I wonder if it could be a MacBook Pro Retina issue?
I also reinstalled Logic Pro X, but did not help either.
I recall that sometimes if you run (or re-run) your Kontakt items in 'stand-alone' mode first , it may help.
Yes, I read that too, but has not helped either.
Still the same issue, even after doing a fresh OS X install (and naturally with fresh installs of Logic Pro X and Komplete)
Garageband has the same problem, however it has not been updated recently, so could the problem lie somewhere in the common libraries both GBand and Logic use?
And in addition, before installing everything from scratch, I tried yet another daw's, Ardour and Renoise, and no issues whatsoever with those, so the loop is tightening around LPX 10.1.1 and Yosemite 10.10.2
I have one option left; to install Mavericks through Internet Recovery (hopefully it works this time, yesterday it gave me error code 2003, but few weeks ago I was able to install Mavericks, however I did it to test completely different problem and already wiped that install)
Mavericks tested, issue exists there too. Native Instruments support gave me their diagnostic tool and I'm waiting for their response.
Note, as i said in my first post....
No problems here with K5's GUI and LPX 10.1.1 and OS X 10.10.2
I just tested the same K5 Lib as you took a screenshot of and again, no such issues....
Nigel,
I wonder if it could be a MacBook Pro Retina issue?
Well, thats a good question...... and one i cannot answer as i don't have a Retina Mac unfortunately.... Maybe Screen Rez related?
However I have seen this issue when a user has incorrectly/manually installed or moved a library..... as the overlay/Graphical resource files (the part that is being drawn over the top of the main screen) have been either placed in the wrong location.... or have been deleted from the original location or are now located in the wrong location and have become unlinked from the K5 lib itself...
The correct initial location for the resources/graphical files should be... (replacing the items between < and > with whatever is appropriate for your setup)
<System Drive>/Users/Shared/NI Resources/Image/<Name of K5 Lib>
As an example, In my case, the Action Strings Resource files are located in
Macintosh HD/Users//Shared/NI Resources/Image/action strings
I have made some progress in identifying the root cause. If I press space (to start playing), the screen refreshes and is then working ok. So at least I have a workaround now. I will investigate further.
Someone else confirms this also:
Interesting..
If I am not wrong.... When you run on battery power with certain dual graphics system Retina MBPs, the hardware automatically reconfigures to use the low power graphics system.... and switches out from using the full Retina system?
Hello, my MBP has only one graphics adapter, the Intel one, but it might have also some low power mode that it enters, because the problem appears exactly after 15 seconds of unplugging. Tried it several times.
