Stuttering Sound - in DP9 Demo

Post by Straker2001 »

Greetings. Am trying out DP9 in Demo for the 1st time. Am getting weird stuttering sounds whenever I play my controller keyboard or the GUI keyboard utilizing any kind of instrument in Kontakt 5. Assigning an Instrument Track and MIDI track through "Track/Instrument w/ Options". Adjusted sample rate down from 96khz to 44.1 in DP and stutter is actually worse. No such anomaly on Kontakt 5 in Standalone. Bundles appear to be set up correct and MIDI data lighting up in the MIDI Monitor for both my keyboard and the Roland UM1 interface. Any clues to what might be happening here, please? Am in Win10 with i7 processor, maxed out RAM.
2 weeks later: was able to temporarily eliminate the stuttering by going back to 96khz, 32 bit settings. Was able to play virtual instruments with no stuttering for a few mins. then a little clicking (not clipping) started. Activated MX4 synth to try that and stuttering came back and more clicking using that; again levels are not at clipping levels. Other virtual instruments now clicking again and some stuttering - bizarre!

I think you need to check your buffer settings.

A MIDI feedback loop?
