Channels 1-16 are not passing audio through Reaktor consistently.
I am inserting a Reaktor 5 or 6 VST and it seems to be having an issue within a multichannel Nuendo bus such as 7.1, 9.1, 7.1.4 and so on. This is happening in Nuendo 8 and 10. After channel 6, channels 7, 8 and 9 are skipped as well as 14. There is also some reordering.
I have verified the mapping with the multichannel Reaktor ensemble using Sound Forge and a 12 channel .wav. All channels 1-16 were correctly mapped. So I am not sure what part of the path in Nuendo is corrupting the mapping.
I am also seeing a difference with the insert routing matrix. After 7.1 the router will drop channels of the insert. With the 9.1 layout it drops the last two channels and passes them through without processing. With the 7.1.4 the last one channel is dropped so there are some inconsistencies on how Nuendo is hand shaking.
The insert input configuration in the top right of the panel is reporting a 3rd order ambisonic meaning it is Reaktor is using all 16 channels.
Can someone help me verify this? I will try and attach a Native Instruments Reaktor ensemble with 1-16 level meters and the remapping that is working for me. You can use a mono track routed to a group or output with the ensemble inserted. Then use the panner to fly it around and see what the level meters say.
I have been enjoying creating surround plugins using Reaktor but this bug has slowed me down. There is so much potential to create some really interesting mixes.
Thank you in advance for your time.
