note duration inconsistency

Hi all!

i'm using Max to trigger Kontakt via MIDI.
One thing i experience is that sometimes notes' duration gets cut.
When playing the same exact note - for istance a note 75 with 20 of velocity and 4000 of duration - I hear sometimes that the note is really really quick, like only 200 or less of duration.
One thing i noticed (but i could be wrong) is that notes get cut if i retrigger the same note after a short amout of time.

Of course the Kontakt instrument (a piano) is a poly instrument.
And if i retrigger very quickly the same notes directly on its virtual keyboard I don't get the problem.
That's why think it's probably a Max issue...

Any tip?
Thanks!

Are you using makenote with a repeatmode attribute?

thank you, i've solved *the easiest way*. found an old patch without that problem and utilized it...
when i have more time I'll look properly the differences to spot the problem, anyway: thanks a lot!
