Kontakt 5.8.1, Kontakt 6.0.4, 6.1, 6.1.1 and probably all current-day Kontakt, period.
Since build 834, the values in Status Line or in Project Browser are not even accessible, stuck.
Values written before this build automate the instrument, but writing new values is impossible.
Values created by a tool in the lane for the parameter in the project window are fine but this is the only possible way to write automation currently (unless live, which I have no, or even know of any way to do for these lanes).
So the values are necessarily coarse as well as unknowable.
Mr Saletag informs me this is from the VST version; (I had to reconnect but) I can confirm the AU version works normally. Avoid the VST on Mac for now, I'd say.
