Kontakt 7 suddenly making clicks and pops

NativeCompte

I've been using NI Komplete Ultimate 14 for a few weeks without issues. Ran some updates yesterday (in Native Access) and suddenly Kontakt performance is terrible. Clicks and pops in every project (Cubase and Ableton) that uses Kontakt 7. As soon as I remove it the problem goes away. Even if there are dozens of other cpu/ram-intensive VSTs running, there are no issues until there's just one instance of Kontakt 7.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Kontakt 7, the next thing I can think of is entirely uninstalling everything NI and doing a fresh install... before I try that, I wanted to ask - are there any obvious or known solutions to this?

Hi, thanks for your reply, but it wasn't buffer size - it was a problem with the latest version of Kontakt. They've recommended that people with this issue revert to the earlier version, which I've done, and has solved the issue.

Have you controlled the buffer size yet? Clicks can also result from a difference of the bit depths or the sample rates if you're using a word clock to synchronize more than one interface.
