I have been noticing very slow response times with some NI libraries and I seem to have isolated it to Komplete Kontrol software. I'm using the latest version of Reaper as a DAW on my Mac and find I'm waiting a long time for some actions to finish. Action Strings 2 is an extreme example of the problem.
Here are some test results. Note that there is not only a notable difference between the two libraries using KK, but a massive speedup when KK is not used. I'd like to use KK as my wrapper because of my NI keyboard, but really…! Suggestions?
