Noire - Cubase 12 Tempo Track bug?

dickiefunk

Hi,

I'm experiencing a bug when using the Tempo Track feature in Cubase 12. Basically, when the tempo changes the sound of Noire heavily glitches and the cpu spikes. I have Kontakt v6.7.1.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Does upgrading to Kontakt 7 make any difference?

@dickiefunk Unfortunately this is a known issue (KT-6047) and has not been fixed yet. Upgrading to Kontakt 7 doesn't fix the issue. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Thanks guys. I’ve actually sorted the problem. You need to change the Kontakt Tempo to internal in the top menu bar. All working perfectly now.

New Kontakt/Noire user here and, yes, this issue is still occurring with Kontakt 7. Is there any way to see details for the issue being tracked (KT-6047)? It seems that this problem has been around for a couple of years now (I've seen reports from 2020 about it) but it's a fairly serious one, IMO, so should be getting some attention.

Since there are reports that it's due to the Replika delay effect, can an option be added in Noire to remove Replika from the FX chain (the glitches still occur even if Replika is being bypassed, apparently)?

FWIW, I'm using Reaper on Windows 11

A quick update...

While working with NI tech support on this issue, I was able to narrow the problem down to my audio settings in Reaper. I use a Steinberg Audio Interface and the Yamaha/Steinberg ASIO driver for it. I had my settings for the ASIO driver optimized for vocal recording (low latency) and had a fairly small block and buffer size. Increasing these to around 1024 samples has resolved this issue for me.
