Action Strings 2 and Action Woodwinds doesn't load patterns after clicked

Benjamin Alexander

Hello everyone!

I have a surprising issue here I need some help solving. I recently subscribed to the 360 deal with NI, giving me access to Action Strings 2, Action Woodwinds and other plugins. Till now, all the other plugins have worked fine except for Action Strings 2 and Action Woodwinds. The issue is that whenever I try to click/add another rhythm or pattern, it remains at the default pattern when first opened up. The name of the pattern changes, but nothing else happens.

I have tried to purge the samples. This fixes the issue 1 out of every 7-8 attempt, so I dont consider it a fix. I am currently using FL Studio as my DAW through my Mac M2 Pro with 16GB memory. The plugins have all been installed to my 5TB Lacie (never had an issue with this either).

I read that some people have experienced some issues with "older" NI plugins used through Kontakt 8, but I dont know what causes this issue. If someone has any tips, advice or aid to give, I really appreciate it.
