Editing Action Strings Phrases

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I'm using a Mac Ventura, running Actions Strings 2.2 on Kontakt 8 in cubase 14 Pro.

My problem comes when I try to edit a phrase.

The instruction is to double-click on the pattern required at a certain point in the bar.

This only works if the double-click speed is ultra fast.

Adjusting the time between clicks in the Mac System Settings makes no difference.

Does anyone know how to slow down the time required between clicks?

I can confirm same issue on Windows. You have to double-click ultra fast in the interface to make the interface open into what Andy Scott shows on his picture above.

@Andy Scott , Jeremy_NI is not here until after the 14th so you have to report this to N.I. Support (all) yourself , If Jeremy_NI had been here then maybe he could have confirmed the issue to and reported it.

In case that you need guidance contacting support : How to contact NI Support and How to get in touch with our Customer Care

@Jeremy_NI , did the issue mentioned above get reported ?

Hi Jeremy and PoorFellow,

thanks for taking the time to respond to my query.

I went to NI "Support".

I got their bot.

After uploading the question I posed above, I got this:

"Im not sure I understood. Can you try asking in a different way?

NI Support says:

💡Type your issue clearly and concisely.

💡Provide the name of the product you are having issues with.

💡Type the exact error message that you receive.

Sigh….😓

I persisted with NI support and asked for a human.

Eventually bot gave me a ticket # 4599214 .

Will report the result when I get it.

Here's the sad news, fellow double-clickers…

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for reaching out to Native Instruments.

I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us.

At the moment, it's unfortunately not possible to customise or change the double-click speed when interacting with libraries inside the application. This behaviour is currently hardcoded into the software’s UI logic and isn't accessible via user preferences or system settings.

We've logged this with our Product and UX teams as a feature suggestion, and while we can’t make any promises about timelines, it's definitely something we're actively reviewing. Enhancing workflow flexibility, especially for tasks like browsing and interacting with libraries, is a key focus area for future updates.

Best regards,
Ross @ NI
