Default Pro Tools ignoring sustain messages

Has anyone had this issue?

On an instrument track, using Kontakt/AliciaKeys - Pro Tools ignores lots of the sustain messages. The sustain has initially been played in with a sustain pedal.

The pedal is working fine. All sustains look fine, but pro tools just ignores them.

is it possible that Kontakt has issues with pro tools?

I used to have the problem with sustain on punch-ins but I think the option in preferences for MIDI Merge Release Mode helped with that.

Have you tried another plugin like MiniGrand to see if it still happens?

Known problem with Kontakt and Alicia's Keys. The fix is to create more space between sustain ons and offs at points where MIDI is being ignored. AK, for whatever reason, doesn't like quick pedal switching. I have a couple other Kontakt-based pianos that behave this way, occasionally, but nowhere nearly as often as AK.

Yep, that's the other piano library I struggle with in this regard, though I don't find it to be as bad as AK.

AIR Mini Grand does that too, on and off, unpredictable. Ivory seems to not be affected about this, but I am thinking it is more of a midi merge issue than a plugin problem. Still wondering why some of the plugins work and others do not, which would imply plugin problem.

This has been on and off since PT8 so if you want to get rid of it you need to go back to 7.4.2 version.

Working fine with eastwest and Spitfire pianos, tho. Even Kontact-based Spitfire libraries don't seem to be afflicted on my system. PT 2021.6, Windows 10, 24-core 2.3 GHz Xeon.
