Strummed Acoustic 2 - Playback not working properly.

Hello. I’m having a peculiar issue with Strummed Acoustic 2. I’m able to play chords just fine… until I hit the play button. Then, the playback of any chords I put down gets completely messed up. They sound muted or something, but I have no idea why.

Here’s a 20 second video which demonstrates the problem: https://www.veed.io/view/fb15eef1-be5a-4920-956d-cb2d7e5c968e?sharingWidget=true

I just checked with Strummed Acoustic 1, and the same thing is happening. Any ideas as to what’s happening here?

(I’m using Windows 10 and a Novation Launchkey 49.)

    Hello,

    unfortunately I can't watch the video. But if you just play chords they start immediately, but as soon as you started a song, chords get synced to the project and this way it sounds different. I'm not on my computer right now but you can set it somewhere as far as I remember, will have a look later.

    P.S. playback page - manual p. 29

    When you say you can't watch the video, do you mean the link is broken?

    Can't see the video either. It says "This video has been archived. The video is not available to watch at this time".

    Well that’s annoying! I guess I’ll stick to YouTube: https://youtube.com/shorts/2k09tAZFwgg?feature=share

    Please let me know if this works. This problem is driving me crazy.

    sounds absolutely strange, like a gate or something, i tried as i can many options and was not able to reproduce it. Is your kontakt up to date?

    I know this topic is half a year old, but I JUST figured out what the problem was: my project file was set to 6/8 time, and Strummed Acoustic apparently doesn't work if your bottom number is anything other than 4 (at least in FL Studio). In other words, I should have set my project to 6/4, not 6/8. As soon as I made this change, the strumming pattern worked perfectly.

    I don't know if this is documented anywhere, but it should be!
