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?

i will try from SSD  but i doubt it's that since the patch are like few mbs and my WD has some great buffer and the HDD charge in sonar is like 0.5% lol 
 
Anyway could sombody post a sceen shot to its otpion in preferences in synchronisation and metronome ect for me to replicate a setiup of a working system ....

Hi Zo,
I'll try and get a screenshots in a bit but I've been trying to break this this morning and haven't been able to, with one minor exception. I did get K5 to report it's tempo being .01 BPM off....that is, Sonar is set to (e.g.) 90 BPM and K5 reports 89.99. That said, I don't hear any sync problems and I'm running 3 instances of West Africa, 1 Action strings and one Damage. The loops and phrases seem to line up OK here.
 
I'll see if I can get screenshots later...

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.
