In Kontakt, you will need to create additional Mixer channels in the Outputs section (and you can save the config as a default or a preset). 16 respectively) to Kontakt and several tracks for the audio outputs from Kontakt.

Now you will have (optionally) 16 tracks sending MIDI (on channels 01.

(optionally)select > 'Build 16 channel of MIDI routing to this track'.

open the FX window for the VSTi track (click the button).

click on the 'Build Routing confirmation' window that will create tracks for all of the audio outputs from Kontakt,.

select 'Insert virtual instrument on new track'.

right-click in the TCP area below any existing tracks.

I'll guess that you loaded Kontakt directly onto a track? By default, the track only has 2 channels, so that is all that Kontakt sees. Nope, they are not related to your audio interface.ДЄll that means is that Kontakt currently is using 1 stereo output channel. You'll find many helpful people here and a lot of useful information. Hello manwalksintoabar and welcome to these forums. Then in the FX window click on Options and select Build multi channel routing for output of selected FX. Like I mentioned you have to save this, either as the default and/or a file with the filename of your choosing. Then if you click on the 'Add Channels' button and set up the dialog to look like this then it should all configure automatically. You can add the Aux again later with different channel assignments if you wish. The reason for this is so that they don't get in the way when Kontakt deletes and adds the other outputs. All 4 Aux should be assigned to '- not connected-'. I'll be working on this again this weekend, just to see what I may have missed.ДЇirst of all when you configure Kontakt are you doing it with the DLL Kontakt VSTi in Reaper or are you doing it in the Stand-A-Lone Kontakt version? I think it needs to be done with the VSTi if it's going to work in Reaper.Дid you set up the Aux like I mentioned. I followed the video several times, but the other outputs keep coming up at 'aux' and just the one stereo output. I did get close though (was able to change channels on my mpc that corresponded to the different Kontakt instruments, but they were all playing through Kontakt's channel 1). Once you know whats going on you can do the sends and receives manually if you want.

You can then analyze it so that you understand what's going on. The rest of that video is besides the point, because Reaper will set itself up automatically. When you load instruments into Kontakt make certain that you are setting them up to go to the proper audio out and receive from the midi channel that you want. This one does a good job of explaing it all. The video in post #12 is more concise and shows that Kontakt basically sets itself up. The video in post #11 shows this starting at 2:25. I recently found some videos on Youtube that touch on this a bit so will be trying out as well.Дid you set up the outputs in Kontakt and verify that they are correct? I read through the manual, but didn't see anything on routing that was too helpful in my situation. 4x16 means that Kontakt has 16 outputs but I only assign 4 of them in Reaper.

However all my Kontakt templates include the full 16 stereo outputs just in case I may need more outputs down the road.

I think Kontakt's manual can explain this.ДЄctually I do use templates for Kontakt extensively, for all of the various ways I might use it. However, until a person does understand this it's pretty easy to assign all midi channels and then delete the ones you don't want to use.Д¬oncerning Kontakt, it doesn't come configured and it needs to be configured before you can get all the outputs into Reaper properly. Actually it is pretty easy to add tracks and assign them as you need them but it takes a little understanding of Reapers routing.

Hey PAPT, I'm sorry, I wasn't saying what you said was wrong, until people understand how to add tracks and assign them properly to the VSTis, your way is probably easiest and best. I generally don't use a template because I may only need 4 track in one project, but 16 in another. I find it easier to let Reaper do the configuration and then delete the tracks that I don't want. Setting u Kontakt is explained in the Kontakt manual.
