lots of posts about flickering in the community. My issue is with any play instrument or instance of kontakt. All issues only when in maschine or logic (not in standalone).
random flickering of whole plugin window from slow to epileptic when opening the window.
the cure is to move the window to my monitor, then back to macbook pro screen. Then possibly having to repeat the move several times.
once the plugin window is still on one screen or the other, the problem stops.
in a template with 500+ tracks for orchestral work, I rely in logic remembering window pisitions and never moving them.
in maschine, on reopening projects, sometimes window pisitions are just sometimes forgotten, so have to move plugin windows back and forth in each group, until the flickering stops.
Ive seen an ‘issue’ message in the release notes of kontakt, saying about long standing GUI issues and crashes with mac in clamshell mode.
I dont use clamshell, just an extra monitor and have tried three monitors of different ages and makes, and have tried adjusting all refresh rates and resolutions on these and the macbook pro M2.
There is a mention of the aforementioned ‘issues’ no longer happening in the latest version of sonoma, but Im loathe to upgrade from Ventura after following the posts regarding kontakt being broken in sonoma at 7.10. It broke for me too but a downdrade to 7.9 meant I could carry on working.
At the moment I can work, but with constantly having to spend time adjusting window positions.
with all my years of audio, pro photography and video experience, Ive never known such a disruptive issue that appears to be affecting so many and is unaddressed.
I can see people are having issues with Traktor doing same thing but that it all appears to boil back down to Kontakt GUI in whatever form, whether within KK, as a plugin, or as a play series instrument.
Also intermittently stuck with spinning wheel in logic with Kontakt as a plugin, requiring force reset after several minutes waiting for only small instruments to load that will just randomly work the next time
Different issue which is claimed fixed in recent maschine update. Resizing adjacent events in piano roll. Still does not work. More GUI issues here but different ones.
