Triggers for Emotive Strings phrases in MIDI file :(

    I'm new to NI products, so this is probably just me not understanding how things should/do work.

    When I put triggers for Emotive Strings phrases in a MIDI file, the phrases are not changing. The same phrase keeps playing.

    When I click on the phrases in the Kontakt interface, it works as expected: The phrases change.

    This is not limited to Emotive Strings. I am experiencing the same thing in Action Strings, for instance.

    This video shows the problem:



    Kontakt 6.6.1 (R139) VST3, Reaper v6.42, MacOS Mojave 10.14.6, MacBook Pro

    I just purchased, installed and updated in November.

    Depending on what your MIDI keyboard or DAW are sending the note values may be an octave higher or lower. Did you try transposing up or down an octave?

    Mario - Thank you! Transposing up an octave did the trick! Any idea why the DAW would transpose that way?

    It is not the DAW's fault.. It is how companies label notes. For example middle C is MIDI note 60, that is standard. The problem is what to call middle C in not standard. Thus it can be labeled C3, C4 or C5, thus every other note maybe an octave higher or lower, again depending on how middle C is labeled.
