Re: Kontakt Inst Levels resetting to 0.0 on playback [SOLVED

So not sure what changed, but for now the volume sliders are not snapping to the position of the MIDI faders when I hit play. But there is some funkiness still going on:
I cleared all MIDI learn commands in Stylus RMX and Omnisphere 2. That decoupled the faders. But if I then clear the Multi on those VIs there are different behaviors: Omnisphere stays decoupled but Stylus re-establishes the connection. However, even after Stylus re-establishes the connection and moving the MIDI fader movers the corresponding volume slider, if I set the volume slider on the VI to the level I want it stays there when I hit play now.
Kontakt doesn't have a global MIDI learn clear, and I couldn't control-click on the volume slider to clear any MIDI learn info. So I did a MIDI learn to teach Kontakt that DP's MIDI fader was controlling the volume slider, hoping I could then clear it. When I tried to clear, the dialog asked if I wanted to clear "MIDI learn cc #1". I clicked yes, but the MIDI fade was still coupled (and the mod wheel still worked).
In Play, the MIDI fader did not control the volume slider in the mixer or on the Player page, but it did affect the volume of the channel. So if I lowered the MIDI fader, the volume sliders wouldn't move but the volume would. BTW this is also how Battery 4 behaved, which I would have thought (being an NI instrument) it would have behaved like Kontakt.
Lounge Lizard 4 was not affected in any way by the MIDI fader.
Those were all the VIs I experimented on. Strange that they all act so differently to the MIDI fader, even those from the same developer.
