Bugs in Sonar Professional, Pro-channel EQ, Kontakt.

Hi.
I want to report some bugs I have noted in Sonar Professional.
The Pro-channel EQ seems to turn itself out when reopening the project. The settings seem to be in place, but it's not turned on. Have to go into the EQ and turn a knob to make it function proper. This is annoying, as I have to go through every track I use the EQ and see if it's at the right settings.
 
I have also a problem with Kontakt. The first problem was an errormessage: parse error, witch NI is working for an update to sort out. Workaround is set the desimal in numbersetting from , to .
Installed Sonar Professional on my laptop, who I use when I'm traveling, and when I load instruments in Kontakt, I get the message: Kontakt is of an older version, go to the Service Senter and update Kontakt. I have done this, and Kontakt is up to date, but the message is not fixed. Kontakt works fine in Sonar X3, so this has to be a Sonar Professional problem.
Anyone have a solution to this problem, it would be very helpful. I use my laptop alot, and also rely heavily on Kontakt in my projects.

    Kontakt issue has already been reported here:
    http://forum.cakewalk.com/IMPLEMENTED-Awaiting-NI-Fix-Sonar-platinum-kontakt-5-parse-error-m3148854.aspx
     
    In regards to the Quadcurve EQ issue, can you reproduce this with a new project? If so would you mind giving steps?
    Could you also please supply a screenshot? (not sure what you mean by "turn itself out").
     
    Also try selecting "Revert Current Screenset" from the Screenset drop-down to see if it clears it.
     
    Thanks...

    Yea, I know the Parse Error has been reported earlier. I have a workaround for this.
    The thing on my laptop is I can't load Kontakt instrument due to that I get a message that i have to update Kontakt.
    Kontakt is updated to its newest version, but still I get this message, and Kontakt don't load the instruments.
    Kontakt loads instruments fine in Sonar X3, so it's a problem with Sonar Professional.
     
    I will try to reproduce the eq error in another project. Maybe I explained it a bit badly, but when I load a project I have worked on, the eq power button is on, and the settings are to it's right places, but the curve is all straight, so it has no effect. I have to turn every button to get the curve to the right place.

    You probably need to try a VST reset followed by a rescan first. Regardless I would start a new thread in the Sonar forums please about your Kontakt other issue (not the parse error, that's on the other thread) so it can be troubleshooted. I don't see this issue on my Kontakt installation right now.
     
    Let's just stick with the EQ issue on this thread (one thread = one bug) so we don't get too diverted. Again try selecting "Revert Current Screenset". Personally I have not seen this issue yet in Platinum. Not sure if it is system specific or not right now.

    Hi
     
    There seem to be an issue with settings on other plugins as well. When I reopen a project, the settings on some plugins have been reset to the initial setting, or if I use a preset, it's reset to the initial preset. This is not the case of all plugins, but some, so a strange one. But it's really annoying. I may have worked for several hours to tweek some tracks and then save to work again the next day. When I open it, some pluginsettings are reset, as I said. 
    This makes me want to go back to Sonar X3, where I had no such issues, and all was stable.
    I know it can be all sorts of issues causing this, but I thought I should report it, and if someone else had experianced the same, and have a solotion to it, what did they do to solve it.
    There seem to be something with the way Sonar now saves the project, and pluginsettings.
    I have bought the Fabfilter Pro EQ, so I have not used the Pro Channel EQ much after I got this plugin.

    You say "some plugins", but did you do a full reset followed by a rescan? (see this X3E article)
    https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013315/SONAR-X3-Full-VST-Rescan-Recommended-for-Upgraders
     
    Did you also try ""Revert Current Screenset" as I said earlier? (for EQ issue).
     
    Also has the Feb update done anything?
     
    To be honest we really need one bug = one thread in the problem report forums otherwise things get confusing.

    At this point I would suggest this thread gets moved to the Sonar forums for troubleshooting and clarity (as OP is still asking for help and eyeballs it seems), and that any new reproducible bugs that get found (with steps) should be created in a new thread if necessary (any hosts here that can do the honours?)
     
    Thanks..

    Tried a reset of the vst plugins followed by a rescan. It seems to work fine now. All plugins opened as they should.
    Thanks for the help.
