Similarly, is there automation present on the tracks? Did you hide a volume envelope somewhere on the MIDI track?ģb) Ensure that the VST output tracks (audio) are also not automated and their faders are 0dB.ģc) Test a completely new midi track. Maybe it got switched?Ģ) Is it strictly Kontakt? Do any other synths or sample players exhibit this problem?ģa) Do you have phantom CC data going to the instruments? Perhaps a fader on your keyboard is glitching and sending CC7 or CC11 data at a low value in? MIDI-OX could locate, or on playback you might see the aforementioned patch volume slider move around. Apologies if you've already checked.ġa) Are the volume outputs of your instruments in Kontakt set to 0db? There's a little slider on each instrument panel on the right that lets you control its input to Kontakt's mixer.ġb) If instruments aren't loading at 0dB, check the Default Instrument load level in the Options menu- there's a setting for -6dB. I've just never seen this before and it's seriously making me worry and frustrated!Ī couple of possible causes and troubleshooting strategies come to mind, not sure if any of them account for what you're hearing. If anyone has ANY suggestions I would greatly appreciate them at this point. I'm just completely stumped on this one! Anyone ever heard of this before, is this something that's escaped my rabid past researching? I've restarted my PC twice throughout my work day just out of habit of maintenance, so I don't think it's any sort of internal issue going on with my rig. I can max the fader on my channel and its not even clipping, if I push the output inside Kontakt it brings it back to almost working volume but these are libraries that I'm usually backing off the gain on like Voxos and some LASS multis. I thought at first maybe my ears were just getting burned for the day considering I've been writing and recording in Kontakt for the last 8 hours or so, but my ears do not deceive me, looking at all my meters and a few test all of a sudden every library I load is very noticeably quieter!

Mid session today, everyone of my K5 libraries have lost some massive decibels. Ok, I've searched this one but came up with nothing.

Kontakt 5 no add libraries option
