I have a gig file with about 20 rackspaces. (1 to 3 songs per rackspace)
Totally random, various rackspaces go dead (will explain). I reimport, its ok, then a bit later, its another rackspace gone dead. I must have fixed 80 in the last week.
Dead:
The entire rackspace no longer makes any sound. I can see by the audio meters in the plugin, there is NO sound being generated. Trying any other patch does not work, the only cure is to reimport the rackspace.
On any plugin with a virtual keyboard, clicking on the virtual keyboard also does not produce any sound (very odd)
If thats not bad enough… the midi controller no longer triggers the virtual keyboard in the plugin.
I have already:
uploaded and updated all audio interface drivers, controller drivers.
I have updated all plugins, (arturia and NI is all i use)
I have rescanned both locations, and plugins
in my video, yes i have arturia running inside komplete kontrol… thats not the issue… a direct arturia plugin has the same dead issue.
I have the SAME issue on my pc AND laptop.
i have turned off all Antivirus (scary)
I fix one, (reimport) then a bit later another rackspace, or 2, go dead. aaah, its random.
Help, i really don’t want to back to mainstage muh

Question: has this always been happening or did it just start happening? If the latter, did anything change in your environment (software update, hardware changes, antivirus update, etc)
Also check your MIDI connection. Can you run the global midi monitor and see what it displays when a rackspace goes dead?
Also check your widget assignments to make sure that you don’t have anything that is turning off the volume or something
ok, i think we are getting warm here… although its not quite clear yet, while i DO have an xtouch in my system… its not showing up in MY midi assignments… interesting that you can see it, and I can’t.
this is from my pc: (will send the screen shot from laptop in a sec)
well keyman, obviously you have good taste in gear
on to the theory… saving a rackspace while antivirus is on, possibly corrupting the file so it becomes unstable… should i go down that rabbit hole or look elsewhere? (i had just installed acronis as a backup system… didn’t even know it had AV, and already had norton, so there was 2 running.
After scouring your knowledge base… this was the only thing i came up with)
ok, cool. I did find something that is giving me hope… I have removed ALL assignments on my laptop. I was surprised to find that my foot volume was still working (connected to my kronos) … therefore if i had saved the rackspace, with the volume pedal down, AND Then i reload it (now the volume pedal is connected to my midi assignment in GP) there is nothing loud enough to hear.
The only thing that hurts this theory, is that on some patches, with the volume pedal off, i can see the meters still functioning in Komplete Kontrol, i would think I would have noticed that.
thank you pianopaul for the suggestion. I don’t use any midi out widgets.
Here is a screen shot of a ‘dead’ rackspace… honestly, they all look the same, i made a template. And 90% work. But when i reload the gig file… it will be ANOTHER rackspace that goes ‘dead’, and sometimes the dead ones come back.
