Native Instruments BATTERY herky jerky on PT7 / mac 10.4- help

[OnTelephone]

When using Native Instrument Battery 3.0.4 (Komplete 5) at higher buffer sizes (500/ 1024) it plays back slightly jerky, stuttery, NOT GROOVING.

at low buffer sizes (128, 64) it SOUNDS OK. Although I've notice when midi notes land at the same beat, it sounds odd. I've gotten around this by slightly sliding the midi notes (lame).

Any ideas, can you point me in the right direction?

Nobody has had this problem???

It's got to be user error, what am I doing wrong?

Not necessarily with Battery, but I'm losing faith(or maybe lost) in NI all together. They've discontinued support on a couple of older VI's that had potential(Intakt, Vokator), and if you don't buy new versions of certain VI's(FM7/FM8), you're just SOL when what you have stops working. Ever buy a synth that when the new version came out, yours just didn't work anymore?

NI is taking a bad rap in the DUC, and maybe for a good reason? I'm surprised they don't have a full time employee who comes on here and answers some of these questions. PT is a rather large part of the market, to say the least.

But we are getting off subject; does anyone know what the deal is with BATTERY playing back jittery at large buffer sizes (256+ samples)?

Try reducing the number of CPU's in the Playback Engine to one less than the max available.

I've reduced the number of CPU's to one less the max. It's more stable but has the same problem.

Why would NI play back MORE herky jerky the higher buffer size

Kontakt Player 3.5 and FM8 work fine in PT8 here.

Sorry, I know that doesn't help you at all—just putting it out there.

I was worried about NI stuff also and never used their stuff from the bad PT integration I constantly read about in the past—but I've been lucky and/or they've upped their game recently...

ni for me has always been a problem with pt but, as of the last 6 to 8 months things seem to have come together for NI on my system ( or at least running so much better than in the past) installing the latest rounds of updates have done wonders. thanks NI
