Why do I only have two stereo outputs for routing in Konakt 7?

rwgood96@hotmail.com

I'm using Kontakt 7 in FL Studio on Mac. I'm trying to route drums out of Kontakt so I can mix them in my DAW but when I go to assign an output it's stereo channels I only have 2 channels for all the outputs. How do I get more? When I add more outputs I still only have two stereo channels for all the outputs. Pls help, Thanks!

Okay, so how do I set it up so the outputs are set up for my DAW and not my interface.

Follow these steps to add the outputs to Kontakt:

Push the + button in Outputs to open this menu and follow these settings (in Quantity I put 6, but you put how many outputs you need)

Once the Outputs are set, you open the instrument’s editing menu (wrench icon on top left) and in Group Editor tab you select a different st output for every sound

Then in your DAW you select the different st outputs for every audio track

So the issue isn't that I can't create outputs, the issue is that I only have 2 stereo channels for ALL of my outputs. I can only route outputs to the same 2 stereo channels 1 and 2. Im attaching a photo of my outputs, look at the channel numbers at the bottom. They all say "1/2" because I only have 2 stereo channels for all of the outputs instead of 2 for each output which would be "1/2 3/4" and so on. I need more stereo channels. And everyone else's says channels are named "Kt. st. 1" in the drop down box but mine say "St 1/2 (1)".

Your screenshot shows that the outputs FROM Kontakt to your DAW are listed above the fader (in the Kontakt Output Section shown) and the PHYSICAL outputs from your audio interface are 1/2 because you only have TWO HARDWARE outputs available, shown below the fader.

If you had an interface that had multiple hardware outs (1/2, 3/4, ADAT 5/6, 7/8 etc.) they would show as such.

Did you follow the steps I mentioned? If you do so (with also the “Ascending output assignment) it will automatically create 3/4, 5/6,… and they will be labeled as plugin outputs.

Try it

Even if I would like to stop helping NI with all the job I’m doing here (maybe if they would have to answer all the questions we answer here in their place they would have less time to think to wonderful ideas like putting KK MK1 EOL…) I still want to help users like you and not dump my frustration with the company on fellow users….therefore…:

the problem could be you are in minimize view (which doesn’t show all elements). Check it

I had OP's problem where I followed the directions to make multiple outputs, but for whatever reason I would only have stereo 1|2, and 3|4, 5|6 etc would never be created, preventing me from adding separate new stereo outputs. (macOS 14.4.1, M1 processor, FL Studio 21 btw)

For me, the solution was to use the VST3 version of Kontakt 7 instead of the AU version (see my comment in this thread how I got that to work: https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/27104/what-to-do-about-kontakt-7-error-in-fl-studio )

Using the VST3 version, I had no problem creating new outputs like the guide directs you ( https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/209584549-How-to-Route-KONTAKT-to-Multiple-Outputs-in-FL-Studio )

Is there a way to do all of this audio routing in Kontakt Player 7? The only thing I've found is an aux button with only some faders and you can't create any more outputs or change any settings. I'd rather use Player 7 than 6 but if there's no way to do the audio routing in 7, then I'll have to use 6 I guess. Thanks

Hey @haysm - man you saved us all on Mac, VST 3 is the version where I actually can create outputs like being said before, instead of AU.

But my next problem is that GGD doesn't see the new created outputs, under each fader of GGD it only says "st. 1"

What will be the last step until I finally can map them to the mixer in FL :D

DreamUnion

self answered: just hit the (!) button in Kontakt on the upper right corner and it will update the information given by Kontakt to GGD. Now you can route the single GGD channels to the Kontakt outputs and from there map to the FL Studio mixer!
