Tip: Quickly Change Default VST Mixer Outputs

bduffy

Kontakt's default VST outputs are a mess! To create 16 stereo outputs assigned to discreet VST outputs in your host by default (my favourite setup), do this:

In the standalone app, hit ctrl/cmd+N 16 times, rename each instrument as desired. Save this as an .nkm.

In your host, load up Kontakt and the .nkm file.

Open your Outputs (VIew > Outputs) and click on "Presets/Batch Configuration".

Click "Clear output section and create one individual channel for each loaded instrument".

Then click "Save current output section state as default for > All Formats".

Now the Kontakt plugin will load with your default outputs assigned, every time. You can always tweak this further to rename the 32 mono tracks, as well.
