using kontakt 2-- back to back cymbal crashes are taperng off like a perfectly executed decrescendo.  but since i am working on the END of a show where the impact needs to be like ";rip a whole in the cosmos loud' this is not exactly the effect i am looking for.  i have tried different things like switching to ";lite"; instruments.  but even when i play the cymbal staff by itself it does this.  strange.  would love some input if anyone knows.....

thanks, chris

Hi Chris. I think I know what's happening.

First of all, be sure you're current with Kontakt 2 (current version is 2.0.2.007). Downloads are available at NI website after you login.

Regarding the funny decay, there are a very few select instruments that have some glitches in the programming that causes Kontakt 2 to interpret them differently than what you hear in the VDL2 player. There will be a maintenance update soon which will fix this (sorry, I've been saying that for a while now), but it's a quick fix on your own if you want to try the steps listed on this thread:

Let me know if that solves it.

Thanks Jim--that seemed to fix it!

Great!

Stay tuned for an upcoming library update that will fix this so you won't have to find it the hard way.
