I have heard there is something I need to download to get this plug in to work on my new Mac. Anyone?

Hey Kouly,As far as I know you cannot run the Kompakt player that ships with GPO (or any other library that runs Kompakt) on an Intel Mac. You need Kontakt 2 or higher to run it. Native Instruments is no longer supporting Kompakt so you need to crossgrade in to Kontakt. Not a bad thing at all, but of course, a few more bucks.HTH,Mazz

That's actually incorrect. GPO ships with the Kontakt 2 player now...it never shipped with the Kompakt player, it used to ship with the Kontakt Player.If you bought GPO before the switch, you should be able to upgrade, I believe the update is free.Go to the Garritan website to find out... http://www.garritan.commatto

That has always seemed a bit strange. Whatever happened to product distinction?Well anyway thanks for that info. This is what I was looking for. I am downloading the update now. Thanks for your help Matto and Mazz.
