Claire Piano Clipping Samples

jburniece

I am using the Classical Claire preset on the Kontakt Claire piano and have been facing an issue regarding harsh clipping sounds in the mid-top end of the frequency range at high velocities. Here's all the steps I have taken to try and resolve this:

• Checked that the output signal is not clipping
• Turned off all effects within Claire
• Turned down the gain in Kontakt
• Tried several different compressors and limiters
• Updated sample pool
• Increased buffer size

It's almost like the samples themselves are clipping. I have also tried non-Kontakt pianos and am not having this issue. Is anyone else experiencing this issue with Kontakt pianos? I have found a few other similar complaints with the Noire piano.

Is there a solution for this I am missing?

I tried to attach a link to this post so you could hear but the website will not allow me to as I have not been around long enough.
