Hello folks,
Long time user here of Kontakt 5 with Cubase Pro 9 without problems for many years.
I recently bought a new PC dedicated to my DAW (updated to Cubase Pro 9.5 /Kontakt 5 & 7), PC all tweaked and optimized for DAW work, but I started having this weird MIDI issue in both Kontakt 5 and 7 when loaded in Cubase 9.5.
Despite all instruments in Kontakt 5 and 7 having separate MIDI channels, and associated MIDI tracks in Cubase Pro 9.5, Kontakt just acts as if EVERYTHING is in OMNI MIDI CHANNEL !!!
Meaning, if I press play in Cubase to play a MIDI file that has a precise MIDI channel with a corresponding Kontakt instrument, ALL the loaded Kontakt instruments respond to this MIDI track despite being on separate MIDI channels.
Same problem with the onscreen Kontakt keyboard, if I select/highlight an instance / instrument amongst several loaded instruments in Kontakt (all on separate MIDI channels), ALL THESE INSTRUMENTS react to the MIDI played from the Kontakt keyboard, as opposed to the single highlighted Kontakt instrument normally.
Also old projects that work perfect in my old Cubase 9 / Kontakt 5 computer, are all messed-up in the new PC with Cubase 9.5 / Kontakt 5 & 7. All the loaded Kontakt instruments responds to ALL the MIDI from Cubase, no matter what MIDI channel it's on, and results in a cacophony of every MIDI channel being played by ALL INSTRUMENTS AT ONCE!!!
I cannot work on ongoing Cubase 9 / Kontakt 5 projects that I started in my old computer because the Kontakt MIDI is all messed-up in the new PC...
Anyone experiencing such MIDI MISH-MASH with Kontakt 5 or 7 in Cubase 9.5 ?????????
All my projects worked fine in Cubase Pro 9, but in Cubase Pro 9.5 Kontakt is broken...
I lost several hours of work these past weeks trying to fix this KONTAKT MIDI problem but couldn't, I had to load only 1 instrument per Kontakt instance in order to have separate MIDI channels to work in Cubase 9.5.
IS THIS A KNOWN PROBLEM, and HOW TO FIX THIS KONTAKT MIDI MISH-MASH???
My new PC: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with 8 core /16 threads, 32 GB RAM, has fresh install of Windows 10 Pro, it's optimized for DAW, nothing else in it, fresh install of Cubase Pro 9.5 and all Native Instruments stuff (Komplete/Kontakt 5&7) all from recent versions, latest as of a couple of weeks ago, and RME Babyface with latest driver.
HELLLLLLPPP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
