Kontakt reacts to MIDI signals, and I can see the volume meters moving (inside Kontakt only), but there’s no audible sound. Kontakt 7 still works perfectly fine in standalone mode. Reinstalling didn’t solve the problem. In Cubase, I had to switch…

I've always been using Kontakt 6.8.0 because that's how my sounds are saved. Recently I installed Kontakt 8 Player from Native Access and I believe that had caused the problem somehow. And now I can't open up lots of projects without crashing in Logic Pro. I'm finding that in standalone mode, Kontakt is missing a lot of my…

Kontakt 7 / 8 hang for 5-10s when a Cinematic Rooms plugin is active anywhere in the project
Hi, I’ve discovered that when any instance of Cinematic Rooms (VST2 or VST3) is active on any track (even FX or Group), Kontakt (7 and 8 player, but not Kontakt 5).8 freezes for about 8–10 seconds every time its instrument editor window is closed. This is either with or without a Kontakt instrument loaded. The file→options…

It's the second-last sentence: "What…
