MIDI Outs are channels in FL's channel list then will take piano roll or MIDI data and send it to the assigned channel in the assigned port. That's fun, but it won't give you as much control access. But how do I play multiple instruments loaded in Kontakt separately? Some will say to change the color of the notes in the piano roll. 2 insert to the FL mixer track next to the first one to the right.Īll right, Neblix. 2 Kontakt insert, and Kontakt will send the audio of the St. 2 will send the instrument's audio to the St. Remember when we auto mapped outputs in the last section? St. For every instrument after the first, set the output to whatever st. Whenever you add an instrument in Kontakt, you'll see its name and some options under it, like “Output” and “MIDI Ch.” For every instrument you add, “MIDI Ch.” will go up sequentially. Now you'll never have to go through this nightmare again. Save the current state as default for all formats. When you're done, go to the dropdown menu at the top between “Outputs” and “Add Channels”. You should be seeing “3|4” and “5|6” respectfully. Then for the third Kontakt insert, select the third pair of channels. Select the second pair of channels, whatever they are named. Click on the “Not Connected” (there should be two, left and right) and you'll get a little dropdown menu. If not.Ĭlick on the first one of those blank ones you see. Move on to the last paragraph in this section if you're done.

1, you'll see “1|2” If they go up sequentially already so that st. Now if you did that right, you'll see 8 (or whatever #) Kontakt inserts (st. Go ahead and check “make this your default configuration”. Where it says “Soundcard/Host Output”, select whatever the third option is and make sure “Ascending Output Assignment” is selected. Go to add channels, then punch in whatever number you want. If there's anything else there besides the four aux. Check Ascending Output Assignment.Ĭheck both of the next check boxes and hit OK. 1 or whatever the first thing on the list is. Punch in 8 or however many mixer tracks you think you need for the quantity and, of course, 2 for number of channels. Go ahead and hit the “Outputs” button at the top of Kontakt (IN the Kontakt window, pull it up by clicking the Kontakt channel in the step sequencer) Take a deep breath, maybe get a snack because this'll take some intense direction following. This is the most annoying part if you don't understand. So moving the mixer tracks in FL's mixer will not change what number FL mixer track Kontakt instruments go to. If you move the one 3 to the right, Kontakt will ignore that and still send it to whatever mixer track is 3 to the right of itself. Whatever output you put for “3” will go three mixer tracks to the right of the Kontakt mixer track. Alternatively, you can set the numbers yourself, but remember the numbers are relative position to the track Kontakt is on. The first Kontakt insert goes to the mixer track that Kontakt is on, the second insert will always go to the one next to it. This will take Kontakt's separate insert outputs and send them to FL's mixer tracks. Go ahead and click that, then Kontakt will disappear and FL greets you with wrapper settings. At the top left you'll see FL Studio's options for the VST, along with a gear icon. Open the Kontakt window (click Kontakt 4 or 5 in the step sequencer). Now it's time to connect Kontakt to FL Studio after adding it as a channel. Now, add Kontakt 4 (or 5) as a channel in FL Studio. If you see three different Kontakt names in red, you done good. Never use this unless you're bored.) Now look at the list again. Click it and hit “Fast Scan” (Scan & Verify is just a dumb thing that separates instruments from effects, it takes a while and throws over 9000 error messages at you. If you don't see it, look for Refresh on the bottom right corner of the list. Check mark it and skip the rest of this section. If you see it (you shouldn't), then great. “Why isn't FL Studio displaying Kontakt in the channel list?” (if it is, skip this section.) The simple answer is that FL Studio needs to be told to rescan your VST folder in order for it to recognize your new VST's as channels to load.

When you first install Kontakt on the path to sampled stardom you may realize that some things aren't going well.
