I have been using kick 2 for sometime now just fine, but sometime recently it started showing weird behavior when I stop my track in ableton live 12. I will adjust the paramter for the length of the pitch envelope to my desired number, but when I stop the track it jumps to the minimum of 50ms. I have noticed this happens for all midi tracks that have kick 2 loaded not just the playing track. I thought it was triggering the automation lane, so I turned that off and it still happens. I tried making sure the kick 2 track was deselected and closed the vst window and it still happens. I looked back through other tracks I made and every single track with kick 2 has changed that parameter to 50ms upon opening the project. If not ure what’s going on but this makes kick 2 unusable and has messed up a lot of work I put in to other tracks. Any idea what’s happening?
Would you have accident assigned your space at to a control?
If you stop using the stop buttons on the Live UI does this still happen?
I did not assign space bar to a control and it happens whether I use space bar or the stop button in UI.
Does it also happen in a fresh project?
yes
Like Phil mentioned, it is more than likely that the Length slider is MIDI CC assigned to your computer keyboard space-bar, even if that wasn’t set on purpose, it’s easy to inadvertently right click a parameter and trigger some MIDI CC assignment.
Solution 1 → Right Click the Length Slider and then Click Remove CC:Value
Solution 2 ( this will remove any MIDI CC assignment altogether ) : Delete your Kick 2.settings file.
On a Mac :
From the Finder Menu, select the GO → Go To Folder…
Copy/Paste this path : ~/Library/Application Support/Sonic Academy/Kick 2/
Delete your Kick 2.settings file
On a PC :
Navigate to C:/Users/ Your-Username /AppData/Roaming/Sonic Academy
Delete your Kick 2.settings file
( the AppData + sub-folders might be hidden by default on Windows, you’ll need to Reveal Hidden Files & Folders )
Cool thanks this fixed it. I thought that it wasn’t set as a midi cc because whether I pressed spacebar or stopped with the mouse it happened.
