Scarbee Jay-Bass broken keyswitches/controllers on MacBook M1.

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I just switched to an M1 MBP, and Jay-Bass, one of my favorites, is having issues:

First I noticed the A#-1 keyswitch for Mutes isn't working. All notes when holding that keyswitch are silent.

Then I holding the sustain pedal for Slides is also broken; slides upward seems to just be hammer-on, slides downward play some slide sample with a very long release (keeps sounding after notes and sustain pedal is released). For whatever reason a +2 or -2 semitone seems to work somewhat fine.

Tried this on Jay-Bass Bridge, Neck and Both.

Is this happening in Kontakt in standalone? In a DWA? Both? What DAW are you using? What's your operating system? What external keyboard or MIDI controller are you using?

It's Kontakt 7.7.3 VST3

within Cubase 12.0.70

macOS Monterey 12.7.2

I'm not using a keyboard - typing the MIDI in by hand.

Please try in Kontakt in standalonbe. Can you reproduce the issue there? How do you reproduce sustain without a pedal?

Can Confirm. Scarbee Bass needs an update. I have crashed Kontakt 7 in standalone with this particular library. It tends to happen when using the sustain pedal excessively or trying to do a lot of different articulations at one time. It's a stability issue. This has crashed my Cubase (13.0.21) sessions as well. Please fix.
