Automation issue: Komplete Kontrol parameters doesn't react to automation

Matmorfus

I have an issue with the automation in KK.

I use Pro Tools 2021/12 on a macbook pro Late 2014, but i've experienced the same on my MacPro late 2013.

Sometimes (Most of the time) the KK parameters doesn't react to automation (and i have enabled automation in PT :-)) then, if I deactivate the plugin, and reactivate it, it will work.

Then after a while the same thing happens - deactivate, reactivate, record automation.

Now I have made a lot of automation in some macros on Massive X in KK, and after some time it won't react even though i can see the automation in PT.

This is not a noob issue error 40. I am an experienced PT user.

Have any of you had similar experience, and do you know what causes the issue?

All the best.

Could be similar to what is being reported in this thread maybe:

Not sure but seems it's possibly more macOS related instability.

Thanks for the reply.

This issue was both on MacOs 10.13 and on Big Sur, so seemingly not an MacOs issue.

When I copied the track and deleted the original, the parameters reacted to the automation on the new copy, but still not on the old.

The Waves plugins i've got, are version 13, and I have no earlier waves plugins installed.

Still can't see what causes the issues!

All the best

Well maybe not a specific macOS version issue but most of these reliability problems I have seen like this over the last 12 months are all macOS related, can't actually recall any affecting Windows.

Anyway, was just something similar in symptom, could be anything else I guess.

Hi, I just came across the same issue. I have PT 2022.10 and KK mk2 recording instrument plugin to Pro Tools. The Hi cut parameter between KK mk2 and instrument plugin is fine but when I play back it is not recorded. I added all the automation parameters of KK plugin to Pro Tools tracks and had MIDI merge on. Still after recording over the existing MIDI notes, the changes I was hearing for Hi Cut didn't play back. I tried a few times and shutdown and restarted Pro Tools, KK mk2, even removed the KK plugin and created another instance and didn't make a difference. Still not recording the automation. The instrument is an NKS instrument so I was hoping it is easy to work with it.
