Controlling a multi MIDI kontakt instrument

hello
would someone help walk me through setting up and controlling a single instance of a kontakt rack? what i'm trying to do is control each instrument in the rack seperately (sep MIDI channels) on a single channel strip.
hope that's clear.
many thanks
jeremy

Select a Multi Out instance of Kontakt (e.g. 8x Stereo)->configure your outputs in Kontakt in the Mixer section and create 8 Stereo Outs->assign the Instruments in your Kontakt rack to the 8 different outputs->at the bottom of your Kontakt channel strip in the Logic Mixer hit the "+" button which will create Auxes for each output of Kontakt
For more details read the Kontakt manual

Kontakt 3 as a Multi-midi instrument? How? Multi-outputs?

I am having trouble getting Kontakt to work properly as a mutlii-output instrument with multi-midi inputs.
There are instructions in the manual and online but I seem to have some problems.
I create an Instrument track of Kontakt 3. I select 16 stereo output mode.
I open Kontakt 3 and create new mixer tracks to match the 16 stereo.
Problem 1: I cannot rename these new tracks.
Problem 2: I cannot assign outputs that seem correct. I look at config. on the mixer channel and I get "unassigned" or "plug-in output 9, 10..."
I go to the Logic Mixer and hit the + on the Konotakt Instrument Track and create new AUX tracks alongside the Instrument Track but this does not seem to help.
I really can't figure how to make the midi multi instrument in Logic such that I can send different midi channels to multiple instruments in Kontakt 3.
I create a multi instrument in Environment but where to I drag that cable to connect?
Sorry I am so lagging in understanding this but if there are some thngs I am missing please help.
Yes I can get a Koontakt 3 Instrument track to work and sound a single instrument but I need the multi midi and multi output option to work.
Thanks,
Dean

I setup my Kontakt 3 Multiple Output Instrument in Logic Pro 8 including the Logic Aux Channels.
This way is not so good,,, (sorry don't get me wrong )
... I just talking about my personal experience with Logic Pro
I Never use Multi outs workflow in my songs
the Multi outs strategy comes from other DAWs (expacially related with ProTools) that have hystorical limited nunbers of track in the Mixer. (or you must pay a lot of "bucks" to have 200 stereo tracks in Protools)
In Logic you have over than 500 straight tracks/Audio and instruments + 64 and maybe more Aux Busses...
As you can see the buss are limited related to the number of track
My personal advice is: use buss only for reverbs, Delays, and Multi grupoed tracks... and instead to use aux for multiouts instrument use single instances...
*about Kontkt 3 and Logic Pro there are 2 different additional working strategies*
1) using single instances (this don't ask for more CPU power resource) but the Audio Units version of NI instruments are not so stable when used as multi instances...
SO: Export as Audio the allready completed orchestral parts.
Using Audio track in Logic is always a good idea because Logic Pro have 255 *Stereo Audio tracks*
2) using Kontakt 3 as Standalone allow you to use more Ram (logic stops to work with more than 2.7GB physically adressed
SO: you can use IacBus to route Midi signal direct to Kontakt 3
All of the sudden I'm not able to freeze my Kontakt Multi Instrument anymore (the other tracks still show the freeze function).
The "freeze" works only on the tracks (obviously, Freeze cannot and "will never" works on AUX/BUS) this is one of the majior reasons that makes me able to suggest you to avoid Multi Outs Instruments strategy
What can I do to get around this problem? Please help me out!
I can only add that is not a good idea to use Logic in the same way as Protools or Cubase
Logic Pro is different
you need to adapt your working in progress strategy to achieve the best result
you have more than 500 Audio and instrument tracks...
I suggest to use it...
I'm sure that you never will be able to use all 500 tracks in une song... BUT LOGIC can DO THAT!!!
I suggest to stay focused to the Logic Mixer: it is a great pieace of software thecnology... it is a REAL hardware mixer that has been ported inside the best professional Audio software...
Logic Pro is very near to a REAL HARDWARE RECORDING STUDIO Mixing consolle ENVIRONMENT! (including Cables, Inserts and AUX capabilities)
*about 600 Stereo Audio Channels and Aux/buss are ready to be used in Logic PRO to realize your songs!*
if you need more than 600 stereo tracks... feel free to ask me... I will try to find a way to solve your issue
hope this helps
Thanks

Multi Channel Audio Instrument [Kontakt 2]: Auxes not working?

Hi,
I've searched the forums and come up with several posts about using multi-channel audio instruments, but none seems to exactly address the issue I'm seeing (and being confused by). I'm trying to set up Native Instruments' Kontact 2 sampler in multi-channel mode in Logic Pro 7. I perform the following steps:
1. On an available audio instrument object, I click the input drop-down, select Multi Channel -> AU Instruments -> Native Instruments -> Kontakt 2.
2. When Kontakt 2 opens, I load, say, three different instruments.
3. In Kontakt 2's Outpus area, I create three outputs, labelled "st. 1", "st. 2", "st. 3". I cable these to "Plugin Output 1" and "Plugin Output 2" for st.1, "Plugin Output 3" and "Plugin Output 4" for st.2, "Plugin Output 5" and "Plugin Output 6" for st.3.
4. In Kontakt 2, I assign the output of instrument 1 to st. 1, the output of instrument 2 to st. 2 and the output of instrument 3 to st. 3.
5. Back in Logic Pro, I create two new (stereo) audio objects and assign them to channels Aux 1 and Aux 2 (and name them accordingly).
6. In my Aux1 object, I select its input drop-down and choose Instrument1 -> Kontakt2 3 & 4.
7. In my Aux2 object, I select its input drop-down and choose Instrument1 -> Kontakt2 5 & 6.
Okay, so basically I'm set up now, right? So to test this out, I set the MIDI receive channel of all of my instruments in Kontakt 2 to omni and click on the built-in keyboard in Kontakt 2. I can see the volume level indicators on all three instruments light up. I can also hear all three instruments coming out of my speakers. However, when I look at the environment page where I've created these objects, I find that they're all coming as a stereo sum from the original audio instrument object. The Aux1 and Aux2 objects are just sitting there doing nothing.
What gives?
Dual 1GHz PowerMac G4 (Quicksilver) Mac OS X (10.3.9) MOTU 828

Okay, I found the solution to this, and it's odd enough that I figured that I'd post it just in case anyone else ran into it.
It turns out that the multi-channel thing does not work at all when you play Kontakt 2 from the built-in keyboard (in K2). Visually, K2 still shows all the audio going out on the corresponding channels, etc., but I guess it's summing it and outputting in stereo only when you do that. If you send it data from Logic, it works just fine. So I had this setup correctly all along.

Multi MIDI Instrument Problem

Hi All,
I'm trying to configure my MonoMachine as a (multi) MIDI instrument in Logic. Most of it is working but I am having a real problem with separating the channels. It can receive MIDI to it's internal synths from Logic for a variety of applications on channels 1-9. However, it can also use it's internal MIDI sequencer to send out MIDI to trigger soft synths, other MIDI gear, etc, on channels 10-15. I have configured a multi instrument in the environment (set to all channels), then activated channels 10-15 only, then created 6 audio instruments and connected the multi to each, ensuring that each audio instrument is allocated to different channels (10-15).
The problem is that Logic is sending all 6 Monomachine MIDI channels to all soft synths attached to the multi instrument and not sending channel 10 to instrument 1, channel 11 to instrument 2, etc. It works perfectly well in Live 6 but then I didn't have to configure any environments to get it to work!!!!
I have also tried a channel splitter between the multi and the instrument channels but with no success.
Any ideas? I've also posted this over at the Elektron forums but thought I'd ask here too.
Thanks
David

Hi,
Thanks for that. Just got round to reconfiguring and it still doesn't work. Although the input from Logic to the MonoMachine is triggering channels 1-9 perfectly, the channels out of the Monomachine into Logic (10-15) are still triggering every audio instrument plugin on every channel.
Any other ideas?
Many thanks.

Kontakt instruments playback in Logic Pro 9 but they don't bounce to disk.

After much searching and random attempts with settings in both Logic Pro and the Kontakt player, I haven't found a way to send the playback from the Kontakt player to Logic Pro. In Digital Performer (e.g.) it's accomplished by recording real-time playback of the MIDI-to-Kontakt (or other player being used as a plugin) and then drop the audio file into an audio track. I don't see a way to do that in Logic. When I bounced in realtime I heard the Kontakt instrument but it wasn't recorded. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
MacBook Pro, M-Audio Fast Track Ultra

I believe I am running it as a plugin. Kontakt is checked in the Audio Units Manager as available in Logic Pro and it appears in the Library when I create a stereo External MIDI track. If I create a Software Instruments track (which doesn't see Kontakt), I can reassign the track as a MIDI Instrument and select Kontakt 5 Virtual Input. That justs reassigns the channel as an External MIDI instrument and I'm back where I started.
In Kontakt, the Output for Channel 1 (st. 1) only allows me to select my audio interface - M-Audio Fast Track Ultra. The only selections that will enable stereo playback in Logic appear in this screenshot:
I tried using Reaktor in the same way and got the same result - playback but no bounce.
In response to your multi-timbral setting idea, RT, the patch is a stereo sample and the multi-timbral aspect would only apply if I were loading a Software Instrument track (which apparently only allows selection of instruments within Logic).
I tried working in the Environment window hoping I could cable Kontakt to Logic but that failed as well. I'm stumped.
Thanks for the suggestions. Any other ideas are welcome!

Logic pro 9 on mavericks: problems with kontakt instrument Drumlab

Hello!
I purchased drumlab on september 2013. It worked properly on my macbook (late 2009, with expanded 8GB ram) with logic pro 9 and kontakt free player 5. Unfortunately, after a few days my macbook suddenly broke.
Now I have a new macbook pro (2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB ram, 256GB PCIe-based flash storage) and I downloaded and installed again logic pro 9.1.8, kontakt free player (5.0.1.5371) and drumlab (from my "order history page"). Everything is working (even other kontakt instruments) but not drumlab. When I try to load the drumlab instrument in kontakt the message "THIS PATCH WAS CREATED WITH A NEWER VERSION OF THE APPLICATION etc." appears.
I don't think it's a problem of compatibility (these are the latest versions of the applications).
I tried to do what they suggest here http://www.native-instruments.com/knowledge/questions/346/KONTAKT+Error+Message% 3A+%22This+patch+was+created+with+a+newer+version+of+Kontakt%22, but it doesn't solve the problem. Really hope someone could help me with that!
Many thanks!!

You need to update your Kontakt Player to the latest version which is v5.3.0.. The one you are using (5.0.1) is at least 9 months out of date... which is why you are having such an issue....

Are your MC Mix in Eucon mode? If you use a midi mode, there's a possibility the MC Mix is sending MIDI messages. And are you sure we're talking midi parts and not automation?

greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Period control Rule 03- Mid period Depreciation

Hi All,
I am trying to create two different depreciation keys.
One is with Period rule 01 i.e Pro rata at period start date. Example. If I create an asset any time during the month, the ordinary start depreciation should start at the beginning of the month.
Secondly another deprecation key with period rule 03 i.e. prorata at mid period. Meaning that the ordinary start deprecation date should be from 15 of the month.
I activate the " Use of Half Months in the Company Code" then the deprecation key with prorata at period start date is behaving like pro rata at mid period.
And the other key i.e. with mid period rule 03 is giving error
"E003 SYST: Period 000 is not valid in financial year variant".
I maintained in T.Code OAVH the entries for my fiscal year for the period control rule 03 for all the period, i.e. I tried for both 24 periods and also 12 periods, with Indicator: Depreciation calculated from mid-month selected.
My FI fiscal year starts from July to June.
Please advice me if I need to do any other configuration. Issue is to resolved urgently.

Hi Dominic,
I did not made any entries for rule 01. there is only one entry for 01 i.e. standard. and for rule 03 I made like this:
My fiscal year is July to June. (i.e. Non-Calender fiscal year) But periods are claender periods. so I gave the periods 1 for the entry July i.e 7th month. entries are like this:
1 - 31- 7,
2 - 29 -8,
3 - 31- 9,
4 - 30 -10,
5 - 31 - 11,
6 - 30 - 12,
7 - 31 - 1,
8 - 31 - 2,
9 - 30 - 3,
10 - 31 - 4,
11 - 30 - 5,
12 - 31 - 6
and selected the mid period for all entries.
I tried for 24 periods also. for ex.
1 - 15 - blank
1- 31- 1 and mid period selected and so on.
But in both the ways even if maintain for 12 periods in OAVH or 24 periods in OAVH it is not working.
I activated the mid month at company code level, giving 15th as the fixed date.
When we activate the mid month, do we need to maintain assignemnt rules in OAVH or will the system generates on its own. For me system did not generate anything on its own. I am trying in different ways in OAVH.
Please do reply. Can you please give me the exact matrix what I need to maintain in OAVH.
Do I need to change the rule for rule 01 also.
I will wait for your reply. Thanks so much for the reply.

Creating and Saving My Own Midi Loops/Instrument

I know how to create a new instrument in GB but can I also create and save midi loops that are attached to the instrument and save them in the loop browser? The same way other midi parts work so when you drag the midi out of the loop browser and into your session it loads both the part and the instrument at the same time?

select your loop and use the Add To Loop Library menuItem

How can multiple speaker outputs be created with varying volume levels and retain keyboard master volume control? Multi-output and aggregate both cannot adjust sub-devices and lose keyboard volume control capabilities on my Mac. What's the solution?

Is it my Mac? Is there software I need? An app perhaps? This seems way too complicated to set up spkrs. I'm attempting to use 2 hdmi and 1 headphone outputs w/ control and varying levels (ie hdmi's quieter than desk spkrs) thanks for suggestions! -Tim

Hi Tim,
Not sure since I'm deaf,but if possible I'd think...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there.

Can't hear Midi Software Instrument & Audio won't record

I have used Logic in a basic way for years and have never had trouble but I reinstalled logic onto a new macbook and using a new interface.
On launching a new project, I selected software instrument, and chose a yamaha piano studio. I can see that the MIDI signal is being received in Logic and will record but I cannot hear any sound.
When audio track is selected, I can hear the sounds being picked up from the microphone in my headphones and can see it on logic...but when I try to record, no sound is recorded.
Is this to do with output settings?
I know its probably something very straightforward but I have been searching the forums for hours and can't seem to resolve.

you're recording MIDI, not audio, you can't "pre-amp" the digital signal.
you can raise the instrument volume a bit more:

Budget Control System (BCS) - Priod control for multi year budgeting

Dear Experts,
My client wants to control budget of projects, both per year and multi-year control.
Can it be done using period control ?
Can you suggest alternative solutions (better ones) to this issue ?
Thanks,
Yaacov

Hi Eli,
After some research, I found out that the simplest way to control POs on multi-annual basis, while control Actuals on annual basis is: To define 2 Availability Control Ledgers - 1. With Annual Checking Horizon and exclude Value Types of Commitments .
2. With Overall Checking Horizon for all Value Types .
Just sharing it with you.

Logic Pro Midi Kontakt Issue...

I've just bought the Spitfire Albion 1 library and love it already. Although there is one problem which I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere, which is that when i am recording for instance a legato strings section from my midi keyboard, and using the kontakt modwheel (my keyboard doesn't have a modwheel, so i use the one on the kontakt interface), moving the mod wheel up and down makes all the difference it should, however when I stop recording and play back what i have recorded, it is wherever the mod wheel is placed after that determines the sound outcome. This means i can only have one modwheel value for one recording, which restricts the dynamics of compositions. Hope that all made sense and wondering how i can fix it? I'm relatively new to logic and kontakt, so am unsure about the whole situation

Hi
Kontakt does not pass the internal Mod Wheel info out to Logic. For libraries such as Albion, recording into Logic or creating the MIDI CC info offline, is essential.
You could manually create it using MIDI Draw, the Step Editor etc., though you may want to look into getting an additional keyboard or controller with a decent Mod Wheel.

Does the LabVIEW TestStand UI button control support multi-line captions?

I would like the caption of a LabVIEW TestStand UI button control to wrap onto two lines (multi-line) instead of being confined to a single line. For example, instead of the caption looking like:
Loop On Selected Steps...
I would like it to appear like this:
Loop On Selected
Steps...
I have plenty of vertical space on my TestStand operator interface but my horizontal space is limited, so it would be preferrable to grow buttons vertically instead of horizontally.

Upon further investigation, it looks like this is a bug (or a "feature change") in TestStand 4.0. The TestStand 3.5 UI button control automatically placed text on succesive lines if the width of the button decreased below the size required to accomodate all of the caption text on a single line. However, this is no longer the case in TestStand 4.0. TestStand 4.0 does not place text on successive lines when the button size decreases below the threshold. I cannot figure out any way to place button captions on multiple lines using the 4.0 UI button control, including setting the caption programmatically with a carriage return inserted between successive text lines.
