I will also reboot and power down all controllers (SSL UC1, Komplete Kontrol MK3 and Console 1 MK3) to try and isolate the issue.

Oh great idea... glad you mentioned that earlier

On mac here.

Thanks for checking jur, are you on Mac or Windows? I will check the reduce latency option later. I am pretty sure it would be at default. I will also reboot and power down all controllers (SSL UC1, Komplete Kontrol MK3 and Console 1 MK3) to try and isolate the issue.

I installed Komplete Kontrol AFTER Ableton...

That doesn't disqualify my suggestion i think.

I installed Komplete Kontrol AFTER Ableton...

Some new information : I seem to have the same problem in Komplete Kontrol.


That's making me wonder about something: komplete kontrol is kind of a plugins host, right? Is it possible that the problem's coming from here?
Like, komplete has Spectralayers "stuck" in its database, which in turn ...

Some new information : I seem to have the same problem in Komplete Kontrol.

When scanning for plugins, it gives the same error message as Ableton ‘Spectralayers ARA. Spectralayers path could not be found’ and Spectralayers is also in Komplete Kontrol’s plugin list.

When scanning with FindAnyFile, no ...

... setup. If no track is armed, and I click on it, or select it with my Komplete Kontrol keyboard, it auto arms.

I say "kind of", because I noticed that it only works if I had a track with "MIDI From" set to "All Ins". That got me poking, wondering if it had something to do with one of my MIDI control ...

No specific track or plugin causes it, it happens randomly, regardless of what’s loaded

Did you try using another audio interface?
Do you have any midi device connected?

No, i'm using a focusrite scarlett 2i2 3rd gen and a komplete kontrol A49 midi keyboard. You think it's related to them?

So far, 12.3 beta seems stable. Fiddling with projects that had crashed in the past, fiddling with Guitar rig multiple instances, Komplete Kontrol, Sound Toys, it seems stable so far, no freezes or crashes.

I tried Diva without komplete kontrol...I start with couple of instances 4-5 and it freezes after couple of minutes.
Also, I have tried XLN Life, 4-5 instances the same thing happens.
Guitar Rig 7 doesn't like Live 12.x.x on Ventura OS

I am wondering if I should update to Sonoma OS?? I got no guarante ...

Did you check without any Native Instruments plugins? Dou you see the same issues with Diva if you use the group function in Ableton so without Komplete Kontrol?

... I updated to 12.2.3-12.2.5-12.2.6
When I open couple of instances of Komplete Kontrol VSTs with U-he Diva, 5-6 instances cause the spinning circle freeze. Also, most of my project containint plugins, after few minutes, Ableton freezes and I have to force quit. I deleted all the preferences and ...

All these files also made my Komplete Kontrol nearly non functioned, everything is working fine now and Live only scans for a very few seconds

I figured it out.

I don't know how this came about but in Komplete Kontrol's MIDI map interface there was the CC 123 mapped to the knob that controls the balance of these sounds. In all other instruments there was the same mapping but it had no effect since this knob wasn't used.

Thanks everyone for ...

123 0 is a CC that stop all sounds. Maybe that the cc 123 is dedicated to the knob of your vst, but usually the cc 123 doesnt have to be used, it's a special one. Maybe you can filter it to see if your knob is not affected anymore..you can easily do that with m4L or look to maxforlive.com, it should ...
