Anyone have trouble loading multiple instruments in Kontakt with Bandlab

jmbalich

I cannot successfully have multiple instruments in a single Kontakt instance. I can LOAD more than one instrument giving each its own midi channel, BUT THE SECOND INSTRUMENT NEVER SOUNDS

Example: (see if I can explain coherently)

Load a piano and assign to midi one, track one. The I add strings and assign to midi 2, channel two. Only the piano will sound. If I mute the piano track the second track will now sound............but with the piano sound. some kind of crosstalk going on. The only way to get several instruments is to load an instance of Kontakt for EACH instrument. help!

OK, each instrument would require its own midi track routed to the Instance of Kontakt and assigned the output midi channel that corresponds to the instrument for that track. To do that, open the "Inspector View" and assign the track to output on the proper midi channel (see screenshot). Then you would draw notes into the Staff view for each individual Midi Track. You can switch tracks by going to "Tracks" above the staff view and clicking "Pick Track".

If you need further explanation, let me know!
