Tempo Sync not working with Loop Libraries with Kontakt and Sonar 3

Hey Fellas, 
 
I have a problem with about 4-5 synth loop libraries (REV, Albion, Aeon) that do not sync tempo information correctly.  
I've talked with the manufacturers and they haven't had any report problems and it seems like it has to be something with Sonar X3.
The loops played in Kontakt work at first, but when you close the project and open it again, it's messed up and not synced.  
Thanks,

Just got Aeon yesturday : no go , i'm **** mad since i had other stuff to buy ..sent an email to support but don't expect that mutch ....
 
I also ordered the K9U but if i have those issues ...i cancel the thing cause i bought K9 for Heavyocity and action string that use step sequencer in kontakt witch seems to be the culprit !!
 
By the way i was about to get albion 3  also !! 
 
dammmm

just tried west africa , wehn i put sync to host (host = 90 bpm) hte sync value gives me =89.99 lol ...Sonar and Kontakt sync no go .....i forgot why i don't mess with NI samples libraires now i remeber !!! K9 U + Aeon for nothing , i should have gone East west and basta !

Hi Zo,
Hm...the Kontakt stuff seems to work OK here. I pulled up West Africa and Session Strings. West Africa reports tempo OK and seems to sync, and Sessions Strings with the Animator turned on syncs fine and freezes fine.
 
Sorry I'm not much help with fixing it for you, but if there's something else you'd like me to try and replicate I'd be happy to give it a shot.

Well...I just loaded West Africa and chose 2 -Percussion Ensemble 16, Den Haben Dunun.nki. I then selected "Host" for Trigger and turned on Sync. When I click Play in Sonar, the loop starts and repeats perfectly...I listened for several minutes until I got bored. Also, if you click in Sonar in a place that would be the middle of a pattern, playback starts from the middle of the pattern.
 
What am I doing differently that you're not doing? It works perfectly here.

well west africa isn't the big problem since it's loaded with swing , thks Greg , could you try with session strings for exemple ?
 
by the way i tried every buffer size , and freq (44 -96khz) ..i had great result when using only one instruments in one instance of contact ...if i go mutli or several instances of kontakt things getting dirty ...or random after each loop cycle
 

I've used Action Strings and other Kontakt stuff that syncs to tempo...never a problem. But, I rarely use more than five instances or so; Kontakt demands a lot of resources.
 
If it's a question of computer horsepower, maybe you should just lay down a track and freeze it before doing the next track? And save the MIDI file and preset if you need to edit it later?
 
This sounds like an exaggerated version of trying to record tracks to a flash drive...at some point the drive just can't write fast enough, and the tempo goes to hell. Maybe try streaming from flash (which reads fast) instead of hard drive?

So now you want exact steps ;) Hahaha! :) Guess I'm out of my depth on this one...

ok let me post some videos .....

I've played with Action Strings, Funk Guitarist, Damage and Evolve so far and not had a problem. Would be interested to know if this is reproduceable and under which circumstances.
