Since upgrading to CP8, I have now just started to notice that every time I have a patch loaded in Kontakt 5 and want to close the patch, the little box that pops up asking me whether I would like to “Save Changes to the Instrument” doesn’t pop up in front of Kontakt and instead I have to drag the mouse over the Win 7 Task bar, find the box and then click Yes, No, or Cancel, to be able to choose another patch.
This is very annoying, especially when going through hundreds of patches. Does anyone know how to make the little box just appear in front of Kontakt instead of behind everything? Maybe I have missed a setting somewhere? Even better, getting rid of this little box altogether! If I wanted to save any changes to an instrument, then I would just do it.
True if you arrange your windows so they block it. But I typically have my second monitor filled with a bunch of windows for editors, plugs, VSTis, etc. none of which are maximized. They overlap in ways where there is always a section of each window peaking out so I can bring it to the front when needed by clicking on the window. I usually (except when I forget) disable Always on Top for all windows (I wish there was a preference to disable it by default). I only ran into the blocked Kontakt message problem when I forgot to disable it once.
So disabling it may work for some but not others depending on their workflow.
I’ve just un-checked “Always on top” in Cubase’s Preferences but the problem still persists. I was hoping this would mean I didn’t have to Right Click on each instance of Kontakt and un-tick “Always on Top”. Still, at least this work around works! I wonder when the first C Pro 8 update will be released? Can’t wait for it!
