Sonar X2 / Kontakt 5.03 - No sound after play [Solved]

Can anyone else confirm this? With Sonar X1 Producer Expanded (last updated version) and the new Kontakt 5.03, patches load and will play via midi right after loading. If I hit the "Play" button in the sequencer, or the spacebar, and then stop the transport, I can still play the patches via the midi controller or Kontakt virtual keyboard or piano roll view.
 
With Sonar X2, patches play in Kontakt right after loading, but if I hit "Play" or press the spacebar, and then stop the transport (or even if the transport stops by itself), I can then no longer get any sound out of Kontakt by any means whatsoever. The only solution is to close the patch and reload (but the same thing happens again). Tried various commercial licensed patches. Tried on a pre-X2 project file, and tried on a newly created X2 file.
 
Windows 7 64bit (latest updates)
Sonar X2 64bit
Kontakt 5.03 VSTi 64bit (up-to-date)
 
I'm inclined to think it's either a setting I've missed in Sonar X2, or a bug in X2.
 
Can someone else give this a try?
 
Thanks.

Hi Kev,


Just gave this a try... and can't reproduce the problem.

• Win7x64
• Sonar X2 x64
• Kontakt 5.03 x64

-Open a new project
-Load Kontakt 5.03 into the Synth Rack
-Load the Vienna Concert Grand into Kontakt
-Record MIDI performance data
-Start the transport and play for a bit
-Stop the transport
-Restart the transport


I can hear sound (without issue) when stopping/restarting the transport

Is your controller resetting to zero on playback?

Jim, thanks for trying. Were those Sonar X2 64 and Kontakt 5.03 64 (rather than the 32bit counterparts)?

Hi Kev,


Yes... straight x64

Thanks for the response. Yes, I believe I do have that set in Sonar X2. Are you suggesting I should uncheck it? I thought X2 picked up my configuration from X1 (at least it looked like it was upon first run).

I've had wiggy stuff like this from Kontakt on and off for several versions of both Sonar and Kontakt.  Many's the time Kontakt just quits sounding for no apparent reason.  But it's not repeatable and not frequent enough to drive me crazy.

Its happened to me once with Sonar 8.5 and Kontakt 5.03. Closed the project, opened it again and all was good. So far its not happened again.

Try this: Preferences, Audio, Playback and Recording, Check the box 'Play Effect Tails After Stopping'. That should fix it!
