    This is from the "NEW" script posted here on this thread.

    OK, I've solved the ERROR message...you have to have your text editor in rich text formant to copy from. If you copy and paste from standard text mode you get a bad script. If you copy and paste from rich text format you get a working script.
    This posted script fixes some of the problems. Latch mode does not work correctly. At the end of a latched section or if you stop play back, sound stops. But a work around is to deselect latch mode, play one note on the keyboard and reset latch mode.
    At least you don't have to reload the instrument or script like before.
    Is latch mode working for other people? I am on a Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9 and Logic 7.1.
    Cheers,

    How do you get the script to stick after applying it? Resaving the guitar dosn't appear to do the trick. Clearly, it's saved elsewhere.
    Thanks all

    In your text editor you have to change the format of the text from plain text to RICH TEXT FORMAT and then copy and paste it to the Kontact window. Plain text leaves spaces that Kontact doesn't like.
    I'm attaching the preset I made from the posted March 14th 083 script and a newer 1.0.2 Script that tech support sent. You put them in the script folder of the Kontact 2 App, then open the Akkord Guitar>Load one of the new scripts (either one seems to work) then save the Akkord under a new name {i.e. AkkordGuitar(small)NS).
    See if that helps.
    Cheers,
    Jamie

    Jamie, thank you very much for that. So far, things appear much improved. This KSP really is something, eh?
    Cheers

    Yes, it's very exciting to think what it will be doing as soon as some clever people start adding scripts to it. Kontact 2 is a great program!
    Glad I was able to help.
    Cheers,
    Jamie

    OK. Still having problems with temperamental behavior from the Akkord guitar - all versions. It will refuse to respond and then, for no apparent reason, begin to play again halfway through a tune. On other occasions, I'm able to run a tune repeatedly without issue. Reloading will always start it up again.

    I've played with latency, track count, everything I can think of. I'm on Sonar 4.02, with dedicated sample drive.

    I have the script update dated June 13th
    Any thoughts?
    Cheers

    Are you using the LATCH mode at all. That still is buggy. But it seems to work well enough in Logic 7 for me so far. Are you sure the new script is in place?

    Thanks Jamie. I'm using script 1.0.2 Is that what everyone else is using? Latch is off. I'm writing patterns and songs successfully and can bounce without issue. It's just this random failure to play from either the keyboard or sequencer that persists. I'm like a dog with a bone here. It's a concept I'm enamored of and with get it working if it kills me:)
    Perhaps there are some other Sonar users out there??

    Have you tried the 083 Script that was also in the zip? That was the one posted here that I made a preset from. The 1.0.2 was sent to me by tech support. Also, are you using the updated Akkord instruments? If not you should download those from the NI site. The version I have was created by Kontact version 2.01.002.

    Just done as you suggested and have gone to 083. I'll see how this shapes up :)

    Nope. Totally random cut-outs and cut-ins. I feel like Indiana Jones reaching for the holy grail :)
    Thanks for all your help
