No Portamento Playback with Kontakt Brass

Hi,



I'm having an issue with portamento speed playing from the automation lane in Cubase using the Kontakt brass instruments.



For example:

I've assigned portamento speed on the trombones to CC4 (footswitch) and it plays back fine when using the footswitch live (I'm playing an EWI). However, when I record and playback the line the portamento speed isn't changed. This is happening with only the Kontakt Trombone and trumpets.



When I use the portamento on the SWAM clarinets I have no issue at all as it records and plays back fine.



Also other controllers that I've remapped play back fine when recorded such as growl (CC15), mutes (CC14) etc.



Is there something I'm missing or something that needs to be turned on in the Kontakt instruments to make portamento play back once recorded?



Thanks.
