kontakt channel question

hello,

i have the following question:

i'd like to run kontakt with 4 stereo outputs (i did so in the past).

i configured kontakt in standalone mode to have 4 stereo outs (see pic 1)

now, if i open kontakt in my host application (cubase 5), i only get one stereo channel and the other three are blanked out (see pic 2).

what am i doing wrong?

 

As far as I can remember, you need to configure it it each edition of Kontakt - that is, for each of the VSTis

 

i can't configure the outputs permanently.

i proceed this way:

-open cubase
-load kontakt
-configure channels (see picture 1)
-message "close and re-open plugins" (pic 2)
-closing kontakt
-re-open kontakt

-configuration is gone (pic 3)

 

Have a look at Chapter 14,1 in the Reference Manual - after you have created / named / routed your channels, click [Make Default]

 

thanks dark star.
the channels are now permanentely stored.

the problem is not yet fully solved though, because the channels 2-4 are not being created in the cubase mixer.

if i'm loading an instrument in kontakt and change its output channel to 2,3 or 4 - it's simply not routed to the mixer.

 

You need to reload the plugin after any changes in Kontakt's output mixer when using Cubase, I think.

I don't have to do that in Reaper.

 

Yep, both statements are true - as ED always reminds us

 

i did that.

plus i rebooted cubase.

plus i rebooted the computer.

there is still only one kontakt channel in the mixer section. =(

 

Blame Canada!


er... Cubase.

 

I ran into this a while back. What worked for me is here:

There's a control in cubase's vst instrument rack to enable more outputs. Once done, they show up in the mixer.

Hmm... domain names seem to be behaving oddly... try this link (same posting, just seems like the way to get there has changed a little):

it's the small little arrow box in the VST-instruments menu.
