non-vib and staccato.ĭuplicated again and changed Kontakt instrument to Forma-Choir from the Factory Library (don't know my way round K10 well enough yet to find another sound with articulation key-switching). Left the part unchanged but tweaked the articulations as suggested to match the Horns track, i.e. Simple part of straight 4-note chords with 2 articulation key-switches, non-vibrato and staccato.ĭuplicated this track and changed the instrument in Kontakt to Session Strings Pro. I've had Reaper and Komplete 10 for just a few months and have barely scratched the surface so far.Ĭreated 1 track using Kontakt as VST with NI Studio Drummer in multi-out mode playing a basic 2-bar pattern.Ĭreated a second track with Kontakt VST using Session Horns Pro, Keyswitch mode, Smart Voice Split voicing. OK - please forgive my inexperience, I'm still new to all this.
:mad:Ī thousand thanks, and here's hoping. new to all this) and I'm happy to try anything legal that doesn't involve a club-hammer - believe me I've been tempted. No suggestion will be too basic (remember, I'm v. So I wondered if anyone has any ideas, or has encountered anything similar? It may be me doing something extremely stupid, though obviously I've no idea what, or it may be Komplete Horns is throwing a fit, or it may be something to do with Reaper (though I doubt it, since everything else works just fine). The horns were one of the main reasons I bought Komplete in the first place, and I want to use them a lot, but this stop-start nonsense has me chewing the carpet. None of it makes a blind bit of difference.
I've followed all the advice in numerous NI documents - PC optimised for audio, run LatencyMon to check for dodgy drivers, re-installed Session Horns, moved the library (on NI's advice) to my 'C' drive, etc etc.
I've had a long e-mail exchange with NI tech support to no avail - the issue has been escalated to developers and I'm awaiting their reply. Usually (though not always) clicking the '!' button in the GUI to re-initiate the engine will bring the sounds back (though I usually have to stop playback first). Sometimes if I try tweaking the horn settings in the VST, like EQ/compression, individual horn volume, or similar, the drop-outs will happen much faster. First the articulations disappear, then notes become little staccatissimo 'beeps', then they stop playing completely. BTW, the project can be simple or complex - even happens with only a couple of tracks. When running Session Horns in a Reaper project (either in Kontakt 5 or Komplete Kontrol in VST mode, no difference), after about 5-10 minutes the horn sounds start to drop out.
Problem: All relates to NI Session Horns Pro.

I'm hoping there's a tech wizard out there in Reaperland who may be able to throw some light on this - I'll try to be brief, and apologies if this is in the wrong place.
