Spikes on Play Series

StudioRyde

Hi,

I just install Komplete 14. The new libraries of Play Series ( Glaze, Ignition Keys, etc ) cause serious CPU spikes and glitches in Kontakt 7, making them unusable. Those spikes are less common if I take off all the FX set included.

I looked around this site and this problem happened with other NI products but not with these ones to my knowledge.

Is there a way to correct this or it is a fatal bug that will be resolved someday ?

[ Kontakt 7, Windows 10, i7 7770, 32Gb RAM, Cubase 11 and 12, 1024 buffers ]

Thanks

Try to change buffer size and sample rate to see if things improve

LostInFoundation. Hi. I lift it up to 4096 buffers, no change.

Jeremy_NI. Thanks, two good places to start. Will check carefully. But as those libraries are the only ones that does this ( including EastWest and all ), I believe that the included FX are the main cause. I will update this post after the reading. Thanks again.

@StudioRyde Have you tried smaller buffer sizes? I recall that in some cases lower settings (512 or 256) were giving less glitches in some of NI's plug-ins.
