Confused.. why does pressing stop set volume to 0

[DoYouLikeHam]

See linked video..

I'm confused why when I hit 'stop' it seems that the Volume property of the VST is getting set to 0 and causing automation to need to be reenabled.

What is going on.. and how do I 'fix' this... I don't want pressing Stop to cause that to happen.

Maybe someone else will know the answer immediately, but meanwhile, here are some questions:

- Does it only happen with that plugin and/or that particular plugin parameter?

- Does it happen if the parameter isn't automated? If you load that plugin up in a new, otherwise empty project, does the volume still reset every time the transport stops?

Yes.. I just tried in brand new project... very simple midi.. just a power chord.. after stopping, the volume in the VST is set to 0.

I'll have to try some of the other VSTs I have from Impact Soundworks (other guitars) to see if the same issue.

I'm wondering how to try in another DAW.. I don't have one.. except Garage Band... hmm...

Seems to be a 'feature' of Ableton.. SMH.

It may be noted that this seems specific to using Kontakt within Komplete Kontrol... if I use Kontakt as my instrument in Ableton, I don't have the issues.

So... is the issue on Ableton? or is the issue on Native Instruments?

FWIW.. I checked this in Live 11.3.21.. with both KK 2.9.4 and 3.3.2.. and the issue exists in those combinations as well.

Also exists with other VST... in this case, Thrill from Native Instruments:

Did you contact Native Instruments about it?

Yes.. cases logged with both vendors… unclear which needs to be fixed… or if changes are needed on both sides.
