After thinking about it, I realized it had to be a midi control.
#What controls volume in cinematic strings 2 mod
How I noticed this was I happened to have been using the mod wheel while recording Cinematic Strings, but I noticed when I paused or hit STOP, the mod wheel went back to zero. This is especially common in the newer VSTs like East West's Hollywood Strings (PLAY mechanism for sound), and KONTAKT. The breadth of articulations and bowing techniques were chosen to offer an. on a beautiful sounding scoring stage giving you unprecedented control of each instrument and section.
What that does is turns ALL controllers volume to ZERO directly at the synth. Modern Scoring Strings is an all new 60 piece a2 divisi (2 parts divisi per section) string library that has been painstakingly developed by recording different divisi sections (a half a section at a time). Somehow, someway, that got turned on while upgrading. it was! There is a section in MIDI in the Preference section that says to "ZERO OUT CONTROLLERS AT STOP" (or something similar to that). 3) Set the tone controls on your amplifier or mixer to flat or a neutral position. 2) Turn the volume knob on your amplifier or mixer all the way down. In this position the bass and treble are flat and the volume is at the mid-way point.
with some inability to sleep (yes, it worried me), I began thinking: could it simply be a controller within Sonar? Well. 1) Turn all three controls on the guitar to the center detent position. They were not, however, able to yet identify the issue. I contacted Cinematic Strings, and they have some great support there. I've tried to downgrade to X1c but at this point my registries must have been changed for good and I really don't want to whipe Sonar from my machine and start over.Īny ideas anyone? I can still do my work, but it's incredibly annoying having to reset the engine in Kontakt some 200 times a day!!!! And in the end the fault, according to them, sits with Cakewalk. I have already spend a week with Native Instruments support on the phone and they even took a log of my machine system configuarion (quite a clever tool those guys have actually). When I press "Stop" on X1 either on the screen or via the MIDI controller, Kontakt 5 stops all sounds and I'm forced to hit the Kontakt "reset audio engine", shown as a big exclamation mark.
#What controls volume in cinematic strings 2 Patch
I've installed the X1d patch on my Sonar Expanded and ever since I have issues on Kontakt 5.īasically all instruments are loaded and I can play along (reharsing a take) or record on Sonar. Kontakt 5 Audio Engine Reset every time I press "Stop" on Sonar.
