I realize I'm probably in the .1% of Komplete Kontrol MK3 keyboard users who also use Vienna Ensemble Pro, but ever since Kontakt 8 introduced direct integration the keyboard has sometimes been connecting to instances of Kontakt 8 running in VEP and favoring them over those in my DAW. I run VEP on the same machine, so I guess that's where the issue lies, but I have all midi inputs disabled in VEP. Somehow the keyboard still sees Kontakt.
It doesn't always happen, and I think it depends on what order I start things up, but I would love to know if there is a way I can consistently block this from happening. Downgrading VEP to Kontakt 7 is potentially a route, but I'd love to stick with 8 if I can.
