A major bug with the automations, Kontakt 7.1.8 on Live 11

aidenstunes · February 12

Hi,

I have spotted a bug that highly annoys me and prevents me from correctly setting values.

I attach a video with the whole demonstration right below, but I'd like to add that when using the "edit value" in order to type a custom number for the anchor, it is just broken. Typing any number and pressing Enter to apply always results in the same odd behavior - a wrong number and an inaccurate representation of the automation value.

It happens with each and every library, and it doesn't happen with other plugins like Arturia's for example. I use Live 11.2.7 and Windows 11 22H2, Kontakt 7.1.8 VST 3.

This is got to be the 10th bug I find since Kontakt 7 has launched. Just hire me to work with the QA team, I do a great job 😗.

This bug is known and is an old one, it happened before Kontakt 7 too IIRC.

This is an old bug and...? Where's the solution? What's IIIRC? Try simpler English please.

So, it seems like IIRC is just an abbreviation. Anyways, what about actually fixing this bug? Am I supposed to not automate things? Once again I wonder why I paid 599$ for this bundle.

Anyone please?

@aidenstunes It is an old bug indeed, present in previous versions of Kontakt and in other DAWs. I will try to get some context on the issue. I can imagine that it was not prioritized as it is mostly a cosmetic issue. The automation values written might be nonsense but the actual automation is accurate. I made a small video/gif. You can see that the values are wrong on Ableton's automation lane but you can see that the actual cutoff on the plug-in is following the automation lane.

Again, I'll try to get more context but this should not stopping from using automation as it's only the values displayed in the lane that are wrong and not the actual automation.

Thanks for the detailed reply Jeremy, it is appreciated. I'd like to add that beside the wrong values that are being presented, it is impossible to enter a custom value. Any number immediately turns into 100 after pressing the Enter, hence the bug is preventing me from being more analytical, as only free handed automating is working, also, kind of working.
