Automating instrument parameters in Kontakt 7

Oramic_Ste

Hi, just can't figure out how to automate instrument parameters within Kontakt 7 in ableton 10? Ideally so the automation lane shows up in ableton for further manipulation. Any advice much appreciated. Thanks

what instrument are you trying to automate? Some NI instruments have default Automation parameters assigned and some do not… you can assign them using the “Automation” tab.

Hi Thanks for response. Instrument is Modular Icons. I'll take at look at the automation tab. Thanks

Did you get this to work? I am having the same issue. Opening the Automation tab and dragging an unassigned CC to a parameter I wish to automate eg. Sound Layer A Transpose, does not work. The "+" symbol does not appear when placing the mouse over the desired control. The "+" symbol does appear over Macros and Volume control, but not the many other possible controls that could be mapped.

Seems like it should be straightforward, just can't figure it out.

Can anyone help?

The convenient way would probably be to use Komplete Kontrol which maps all instruments for easy automation.

If you're looking to use 'Learn Midi', I beleive there is another method for KFL2, which is described in this thread discussion...

yes this is what I did. Komplete Kontrol is what I load up now instead of Kontakt.
