MIDI notes continue sounding after transport stop

[Billy86]

Sending up a flare to the MIDI gurus... Playing a song with an audio track and with Midi triggering a Kontakt piano. When I stop the transport, the last notes ring on and on, slowly fading, but never completely stopping. I have to hit the reset MIDI and Audio button in the control bar to stop it. Doesn't happen every time, but it's the rule more the exception.

I've tried checking/unchecking a few boxes in the Preferences/Project Midi... [including "Zero Controllers When Play Stops" and "MIDI Event Chase on Play" ] but nothing seems to help. 

Any ideas? Thank you!

If Kontakt is inserted in the FX bin of the audio track, try moving it to the Synth Rack.  Using the FX bin to host a synth is a legacy configuration that is still supported for backward compatibility, but is not the preferred configuration and has been known to cause stuck notes.

If that's not it, I dunno...

When I first saw the post, I suspected Zero Controllers When Play Stops was not enabled to zero CC64 (Sustain) which is a pretty common issue with piano synths,

I know you've already checked that, but it might still be worth pressing/releasing your sustain pedal to see if it stops the notes.

If it's intermittent, does it depend on where you stop playback?

If you happen to stop playback after a pedal-down event but before the corresponding pedal-up event, the piano will keep playing the note until it decays.

Thanks, yeah, it's in the synth rack.

Thanks for the thought. There are a lot of sustain pedal up/down, so I think that's probably it. If I'm reading the PRV 64-Pedal controller correctly, 127 is pedal down, and 0 is pedal up. I converted it to an envelope, and that's what I'm seeing a lot of.
