NPPE with Spitfire Symphony Orchestra: Piatti always play back with crescendo

Hey everyone:

I have a weird thing happening and just wondering if anyone has experienced this sort of thing before:

Using:

Dorico 5

Noteperformer + NPPE

Spitfire Symphony Orchestra

My issue:

When loading the Piatti patch in NP and selecting “Clash Cymbals” in Dorico they always play back from quiet to loud no matter what dynamic level I set or velocity. Also happens when I play on my midi keyboard.

This occurs in any piece of music old or new.

It does not happen when I use Logic or just Kontakt by itself, nor does it occur with BBCSO.

weird, anyone run into this?

Take care

Patt.
