No keyboard input on any NI plugins (VST)

It seems that I cannot use any keyboard input on any of NI's plugins (VST). That was reported for Reaktor in the Beta forum, but I now found out that I experience the same problems with Guitar Rig 2 and 3, Battery 3 and FM8. I did not try other NI plugins yet, but expect the same problems. I did try some non NI plugins and it seems to work flawlessly there.

are you running the latest updates for the NI programs? Someone posted in the other thread a version of Reaktor (5.1.4?) and Live 7.0.1. I'd get the latest updates to NI products if you haven't already and try them out. I haven't had to do this so I can't help you on testing it out in my environment. But I usually stay on top of updates with their products.

All fresh and updated here, doesn't work with Reaktor update neither. But I noticed that it does work with Reaktor the popup windows that come up when you open a new ensemble asking for Autosave settings. Maybe that's a hint for the Ableton folk for solving this puzzle.

The report that this *DOES* work seems a bit suspect. At this point, there are many reports of the issue with Reaktor, and only one report that it works properly.

I've tried it myslef with Live 7.0.1 and reaktor 5.1.4 (current version). No keyboard input.

But I noticed that it does work with Reaktor the popup windows that come up when you open a new ensemble asking for Autosave settings.

This confused sentence did not mean that it works with Reaktor, it does not for about everything but the one window that pops up at the beginning of an opened ensemble. I can type in that window, nowhere else. I noticed before that I can type without problems into any file-open dialog with the other NI plugins, but those use standard Windows dialogs. This Reaktor window popup belongs to Reaktor's GUI.

Hi guys,

There is still no solution for this problem ?

It's really very disturbing and disruptive

If I get a chance I'll try to load up Reaktor 4 or 5 in my Live 7.0.1 build and see if I can see what you're having problems with. Any details I should do to try and reproduce it here if I can?

Just try to type something into a Label box in Reaktor or use arrow keys on controls that normaly should react to them.

I do not understand why ableton did not quickly solved that problem.

Personally I do not use Reaktor, I use Absynth and FM8.
And in stand alone, the plugins function perfectly.

Many of us have this bug.

I double clicked on a panel and it brought up a box to the left in Reaktor 5 and I tried changing the label and it didn't work. It highlighted when I double clicked in it but when I typed something it was making sounds (green whatever ensemble). So apparently it definitely is broke. Did you send a bug report to them about this?

Same from me on testing the 7.01 demo with Reaktor 5.14. No keyboard input.

Accidental doublepost. Sorry

I've reported it against the 7.0.1 demo, and indicated that it's a showstopper for me. No response yet. (Although I did receive an initial response, suggesting that I try the demo version to see if the defect was real).

There is not a patch or a manipulation to counter this problem ?!

I am beginning to lose hope ...
