Not gonna happen. All DAWs that support VST3 are from 2018 or later. Deal with it as is, or upgrade.

Have you enabled Echo Input on the channel?

Have you used any MIDI monitor (Midi-OX for example) to confirm that your keyboard is still sending out data? You may have had a component level failure in your keyboard. If your MSK25 is BlueTooth [MkII], you may have lost the transmitter.

The latest version of Kontakt is 8. Session Percussionist requires v7.7 or later of either Kontakt Full or Player. Works here in that configuration in both CbB & Sonar. You might try posting this issue on the NI forum in the Kontakt sub.

Amazon can source nearly everything, especially when NewEgg is out of stock or subbing out sources.

As @Kurre mentioned, watch to see if Sonar is a background or lesser function in Task Manager. If so, go to the executable for Sonar, RMB to properties and set to elevate priority.

My colleague Barry Henderson beat this concept to a pulp back in 1993 with the introduction of the IZ-RADAR I & II. There are about 10k units in use today, and I spent more hours in situ recording major artists on one than I care to count. Sell your old hardware and buy one. They're available on the used market for next to nothing. Problem solved.

If you can construct a facsimile of the song as a 2mix (even using GM instruments) ; Shazam and/or Soundhound can probably identify them.

Works perfectly here, but then everything in my system runs through my ASIO interface... windows sounds, mediaplayers, Skype, OBS, YouTube, browser, et al.

I have a highly modified "Gilmour" strat with honed down frets and low action, so all bending is perpendicular to the neck. Mild arthritis doesn't help either. I once had a '73 SG where the frets were like brick pyramids and tall. Sold it very shortly after acquisition. Not so with my '58 gold top LP.

If only my left hand could get those stretches/vibratos like that on my strat, I'd be a happy camper!

There is a "strum" CAL function.

Change your base octave in the preferences.
