I purchased Kaivo, yesterday, and have been playing with it for hours. However, when switching from one preset to another, there can be a radical change some times in the volume and high frequency output. I nearly blew out my ear drums on one occasion. the first preset was one that I was experimenting with (I can't remember which ones right now) one that required a key press to get it going, but the next one was like on automatic mode and it really was dramatic, the change in instant volume and high frequency. I really think there needs to be a setting where you can choose to make them start manually rather than automatically. Someone is going to seriously damage their ears, especially as in my case when I was listening with ear buds or my monitor headphones.
In regards to my original post, it looks like part of the increase in sound level/high frequency may have be do to a component loaded in called SN Comp.adg This tends to accentuate and amplify higher frequencies and is intend I think, to bring clarity to things like snare drums. So when I used it in conjunction with a few of the Kaivo patches, it immediately boosted levels to the degree I had described. And yes, many patches on other plugins start producing sounds automatically with out hitting any midi notes. I will try some of the solutions that a few of you have mentioned.
I had also forgot to mention that the DAW I use is Ableton Live 9
Note, I installed ice9 as recommended. It seemed to mitigate the problem I had when using the component that was causing the problem. So all is good :-)
