Sync drift issues with Kontakt7 in Ableton Live11
Long notes loops or sequences of anything from the play series won't sync properly and it becomes really obvious after a couple of bars. Ex.: If I have 40's very own drums and I load the preset called Queen Alley Kit and I record the note C3 for 35 bars. The kit will play the pattern but after 32 bars the sync will be delayed at least half a beat. If I turn off external sync in Kontakt and I set up the tempo at the same bpm as Ableton Live everything works perfectly. But I cannot have tempo changes in my track with this workaround. Anything in play series like Ignition Keys, if I turn on the sequence, ends up with the same drift. If I play the notes without recording the midi notes, it plays really smooth. But it's not as smooth when you hear the playback. I compared with other Kontakt libraries from third parties and some of them are ok and some of them are not. I tested Damage 2 from Heavyocity, Orbit and Elysium from Wide Blue Sound and the sync is perfect. But DM307 from Heavyocity won't sync properly.
Am I the only one with this sync problem?
And since the last update of Kontakt, any preset I have saved within Komplete Kontrol won't open in Kontakt (message: your version of Kontakt is too old).

Hey Ed, we also found out that the issue will not be there with certain tempos...I could reproduce the issue in Kontakt as well, not only in Komplete Kontrol, the developers are aware of this issue with some DAWs but there is no fix in view at the moment.

@Ed Wolski Well, I can reproduce the issue with 40s Own Drums and reached out to the devs to see if it was a known issue or not. I'll get back to you as soon as I get more info.

@Jeremy_NI Thank you very much!
I found another workaround. When I load the library with the Kontakt plugin directly it is ok. This is only happening when using the Komplete Kontrol plugin.
Thanks again!
