How to STOP audition sound when loading instruments?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I don't recall this being an issue before. Right now, the sound audition preview plays:

When I click on an instrument in the Kontakt 7 browser — GOOD.
When I open the instrument after double-clicking it (after it's already selected) — NOT GOOD.

As a result, every time when I load an instrument, it auditions it, and I hear it overlap for a few seconds.

Is there an option to disable this? I don't want to completely disable auditions, just when loading.

I am not aware of a way to turn that off.

Most likely will not satisfy you but : try this for a 'work around' (?) : do not double click to open : instead press enter on keyboard !

But maybe something that NI ought to get fixed . @Nilo_NI , since Jeremy is not here then maybe you could take a note of this to the Kontakt team ?

@PoorFellow You're right! Enter does NOT audition.

Would you consider this a bug as well?

Thanks for your help.

You are very welcome ! 🙂 Personally I do not consider it a bug, but 'situation related' then maybe poor design...

Hey Torley,

sounds like we’re triggering the audio preview when a preset is clicked, even if the click is the first part of a double click (which loads the preset). We shouldn’t trigger the preview for a double click. The team have been informed. Thanks for pointing this out! Hopefully it get's improved in an update soon.

@Nilo_NI Thank you for specifically acknowledging! I'm surprised I didn't see it mentioned earlier on here, but am glad you let us know.

P.S.

Come to think of it then the type of crash that I described over here could possibly (?) also have to do with the 'audio preview' response to double click where it should not.

@Nilo_NI any news on this front?

Some libraries like the Yangkin have a preview that takes "forever"... enough for me to lose grasp of the melody that was passing by my head :( (because I had to listen to another melody, the yangkin preview )

Hi @Kapa de Freitas ,

I can't reproduce this here.

When I double-click on the preset to load it, no preview sounds and the patch loads. The preview only sounds when I click once on the preset name.

Could you post a video to show this happening for you?

Thanks for your reply @Nilo_NI

Here it is: https://youtube.com/shorts/CarXrefSjRA?feature=share

I Must say however, that I had opened a blank session just to test this, and it didn't happen.. I felt a bit crazy and then decided to open the session where this had happened last ( not the only one) and it happened again ( Video )

Thanks for the video.

I forwarded it to the devs and they have tracked it to a known issue.

I don't have a timeframe for an expected fix yet but it is looking like it will be resolved in the next update. Fingers crossed that it will make it in!
