    Hi folks,

    I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing a bit of weirdness with Kontakt VST3 in Cubase.

    An example: I have the Sonokinetic Sultan Drums library, and the tempo sync does NOT work properly in VST3 Kontakt, but trails behind the beat. The same library works perfectly in Kontakt VST2, when I load it up using Komplete Kontrol - it stays in sync without problems.

    For the most part, this does not happen in other DAWs. I have Studio One 5 and Cakewalk, and the Sultan Drums time machine issue does not crop up when loaded into Kontakt VST3 in those DAWs. Only in Cubase.

    I'm also experiencing some other twitchy behaviors with the VST3 version -- some of the Symphony Series Percussion patches causes interface problems with other patches in the same VST3 instance, but behave themselves just fine in the VST2. Also, the Sonokinetic Woodwinds library cuts out after a minute or two when used in Kontakt VST3, but plays perfectly in VST2.

    I'm currently using: Cubase 11.0.41, Kontakt 6.6.1, a Komplete Kontrol S61 with version 2.6.7 of the Kontrol software, on a Windows 10 Pro machine.

    Thanks,

    Rob
