Kontakt 7 Flickers

I looked through the threads and did not see this addressed. Maybe I missed it but if someone has an answer it would be appreciated.

Thanks!
I also had this issue recently on an Insanity Samples library. I moved the library back to Kontakt 6 because it was giving me a headache. But for me it doesn't happen for every library in Kontakt 7. Indeed, so far only that one.
 
Just checked with Win11 Pro /Reaper 7 Track - OT Arkhis _ no flicker ( twin HP ZR2440w 1920x1200 monitors ). Happy to try any other track I have currently.
 
What do you mean by flickers?
I haven't noticed any flickering in Kontakt itself, but when I have it open, I've noticed some flickering in my DAW's gui.

MacOS Ventura. M1 Max Mac Studio.

For me it's the instrument gui (or rather the background color of the instrument GUI) inside K7 that flickers, and it's more a rapid, strobe-like change of color rather than a traditional on-off flicker. Logic itself is normal.

same here
 
I saw slight flickering when I had Ozone 9,10 and 11 same time open on screen. They never flicker when alone on screen. Maybe there is same kind situation there with Kontakt. This happened in Mac Studio, Monterey, Cubase 12. I have seen some weird interactions between plugins past.

Yep I've been having this issue lately as well. Kontakt 7.6.0 Seems to happen randomly when I drag the Kontakt window from one monitor to another. Only certain elements of the ui will flicker, and it's not consistently the same elements either. Sometimes it's the entire window, and sometimes it's just the blue portions of the background image. Sometimes goes away when I close and reopen Kontakt, sometimes doesn't.

I think i read in another forum it might be related to Vsync or some monitor driver settings? I don't know much about all that but maybe a clue?
 
Having the same issue, it happens in studio one but not in Logic whereas in Logic the CPU go crazy with kontakt but nothing with studio one ... I updated to the latest update of K7 but it's not solved yet ...
 
GUI Flickering here, irregular occurrences. Doesn't seem to impact performance, just a visual annoyance.

Running DP11.22 on M1 Mac Studio Ultra, Ventura. Last observed on Kontakt 7.6. Just installed 7.7.
 
Yep, getting flickers here as well. If Kontakt 7 window is open, Cubase screen flickers occasionally. I've noticed same behavior with at least Guitar Rig 6 and Steinberg's Backbone and Halion Sonic. The issue seems at its worst when hovering mouse over Inspector on the left.

Using a 2021 M1 Macbook Pro 14 with 16Gb Ram. Ventura. Cubase Pro 13.0.10. I don't have an external monitor, I do everything with the laptop.

Otherwise Cubase 13 has been a very good experience so far!
