Volume Problem #2

Posted

I've been setting up some modules containing Kontakt 5 Factory Library instruments and I've noticed an issue with the volume.

When I load one of the instruments into Kontakt, the volume bar (in the majority of cases) is about half way across and reads -0.6db.  However when accessing the volume control in Synfire (either from the slider or from setting playing ranges, etc.) the volume in Kontakt jumps back to -14.9db, and this is the value it is at when the Synfire volume is 90.

After that, setting the volume to 127 in Synfire returns the Kontakt slider to -0.6db but it doesn't leave much room for manoeuvre.  To compensate, I'm having to set the Master Volume in Kontakt to a higher level.

I would expect that the Synfire volume of 90 should equal the default volume in Kontakt.  Am I doing something wrong or is it a Kontakt issue?

Synfire does only send the volume controller commands (CC 7) and has no control over what Kontakt makes from it. However, you can set the volume range at the instrument options in Kontakt (see attached pic).

Ahah!  I thought it was probably a Kontakt issue!  Thanks very much for your help Juergen, as always :)
