Closing audio editor forces VI to reload - RESOLVED

Post by csansom »

This is a weirdness…

I have two instances of Kontakt 5 loaded and enabled. If I edit a soundbite in DP's built-in waveform editor, when I close it one of these Kontakt instances reloads. Every time. Always the same one and not the other one. Why? As far as I can tell, its state is fully preserved so I'm not losing anything; it's just irritating having to wait for it every time. I can see no relationship between the Kontakt instance and the audio track except that they're both going to the same output - but then so is the other Kontakt instance that doesn't reload. Go figure!

Anyone else experienced this? Or have some blindingly obvious explanation that I've missed?

Make sure the transport control in the waveform editor isn't on. (linked to sequence). This would always make all my VE Pro's have to restart, and MOTU advised to switch this link off. Solved it for me!

Bingo! That does seem to have fixed it - and in fact it's better because it's simpler, for testing purposes, just to play what's selected.

Still seems very mysterious that just one of my Kontakts would reload and not the other, but I guess it doesn’t matter now!

Thanks!

great, glad it's working!

Always a weird thing, that one. Fortunately it's not project specific, so once you've switched it off, you can just forget about it.
