Drum Outputs

I have the free Kontakt 5 player for several libraries I purchased. I recently downloaded the free content from NI and it includes some drum kits I would like to use.

I would like to send individual drum sounds to separate audio outputs in Sonar X1. For example, I would like the kick on one audio track, the snare on another, the hi-hat on another, the toms on another, and the cymbals on another.

I do this routinely with Session Drummer 3 in Sonar but cannot figure out how to do something similar in Kontakt.

Can you advise me or point me to a link that will explain?

Thanks!

 

You can configure the Outputs section of Kontakt to support multiple outputs (see your manual for details on how this works).

But as far as different libraries, it depends which libraries and how they are set up. With some libraries, multi-outputs are designed to be accessible from the Performance View (the panel where you can adjust various things about the instrument). If you are working with a library that doesn't have this available in Performance View, you won't be able to do this in Kontakt Player -- you would need the full version of Kontakt to do it.

 

Thanks for replying. With the drum kits included with the free content for Kontakt 5, I do not see any way to route the individual drum sounds on the panel I assume is the performance panel: the one with attack, articulation, etc.

From this I assume it is not possible to route the individual sounds to various tracks in Sonar.

Do you know if this function is available in the Abbey Road collection sold by NI and compatible with the free player?

Thanks.

 

Yes, output assignment is available in Abbey Road drum libraries by NI.
