Yup...still at work (and will be all week) on these last projects before Turkey Day and I've discovered even more X2 shennanigans. Although I hate to use this word...Randomly X2 will just start distorting "random" tracks. I'll be recording and editing as per usual when I'll just start hearing some zitzing and breakup somewhere in the project. I can go track be track and isolate the one or more tracks that are suddenly distorting but the only way to stop it is to shut X2 down and reopen it. Then, at least for awhile, the distortion goes away. I'm also having some craziness in Kontakt 5. Quite often inside K5's gui when I add a new instrument and set it's midi channel and output I'm able, as I should be, to highlight the appropriate track in X2 and play said instrument with my controller. The funny thing is that no matter how I reset the routing inside K5 I can only trigger the first instrument in the multi with the little keyboard gui in K5...sometimes. Most times it works fine. Go figure. I recently bought Groove3s X2 explained and that has helped me learn some of the "new ways" of X2. But really working it hard this past week or so I'm gonna have to say that at least for me (with all the PRV troubles I'veYup had, missing cursors and now random distortion) X2 is not quite ready for prime time.  Pity, cause I quite like it.
 
Geeze Louise I can't even post into the forum without weirdness.  Had to edit my post as it was scambled on initial entry.  Sorry
 

I've had my fair share of weirdness with Native Instruments stuff and X2, not just Kontakt. I've had Reaktor synths that set their output volume to 0 every time I pressed play. And right now I have a reverb bus with a Reflektor reverb in it that keeps setting its wet level to 0, and panning itself hard left. Pretty sure I've had something similar to the keyboard problem you mention with Kontakt as well, although if I remember it was something which went away with random fiddling. 

Hi Doghouse
Yes I had some strange stuff when I first tried X2 - in fact I went back to X1 as we are really busy recording at the moment and to be frank stopping to sort out niggly issues with X2 was going to get in the way.
Most of the issues I noticed in the few days I did try X2 exclusively, seemed to be, how can I put it, jumpy screen sort of things - nothing specific but there does seem to be a display issue  - the auto zoom feature certainly seemed less then well developed! And along with some other users, I'm not totally sold on lanes in place of layers.
Anyway X2 can sit to one side for the time being - I shall try again after first patch is released.
Keep well
Nigel

Finally something I know how to fix! WOOT!

Oh Yea...I almost forgot.

Quite often (as in QUITE often) X2's meters just go crazy...as in they'll just show completely redlined/peaked forever whether anything is coming through that track or not...OR...when I'm trying to put down a guitar track or vocal track, for instance, they'll show level in the inspector on the left but not the track itself.  Like just now I recorded a scratch track vocal and the track meter showed nuttin honey but the wave form was recorded and displayed just fine.  Sheesh.

I have found that occasionally a bus's meter will just turn off, and I have to click on the slider for it to come back on again.

Are you using segmented meters?
When I first installed Sonar X2 meters were really funky for me.  I had to turn off the segmented meters under preferences and all was dandy then...
 
No promises tho...
 

I'll give it a whirl...what could it hurt?:-)

And here's another thing...and this may not be a bug but by design...I know I can (and have) set my snap to toggle between Measure and 1 Sample using "N".  But lots of times I don't want to have to hold down N to make a bunch of sample/based edits.  So I'll simply "hard switch" the snap time to 1 Sample.  But the first time I select my resolution as Sample and enter "1" the snap dialog reverts to 1600 samples.  I then have to repeat the process and enter 1 again to get it to become 1.  It's frustrating.  Or am I a dimbulb?  Wait...don't answer that.

Wait! Are we talking about Sonar or the voting machines in Ohio?
Sorry olpal, Karl will have to answer this one....
