Softsynth/sampler playback issue in X1a

Hi all,

I am assuming what I am seeing is a bug. 
Basically I have a project with multiple softsynths, samplers, 3 instances of Kontakt 4, and a few other things. Basically some of soft synths, samplers stopped playing. The MIDI is in there, everything was properly routed as it was working before and recently it stopped working. I can still trigger sounds on my MIDI keyboard but when I play back nothing happens. 

Although if I FREEZE the track, it works? Which is weird. Anyways everything seems to be alright, but it's like someone cut the nerve fibers connecting the MIDI output into Kontakt and a few VSTi's

Also I noticed that the Pro Channel needle on the compressors doesn't always seem to work. I think I remember reading that somewhere else.

Anyways has anyone has experienced this?

    Try increasing the value of the "Prepare Using" buffer under Preferences > MIDI > Playback and Recording. The default should be 500ms. If it's lower than that, start there, and increase in increments of 100 up to maybe a 1000 to see if that helps.

    Do you have a third party virtual MIDI driver such as MIDI Yoke running in the background? I use this with Drumagog, and unless I disable it after rendering Drumagog stuff it causes the problem your describing.

    I've experienced this. But it's really random, happened back in the first week or so and seemed to be with x86 stuff running under the bridge.

    The thing is, I didn't change anything. What I remember is, I exported the mix to listen to it, and when I went back to make a few changes all of a sudden the problem was there!
