Why is there no sound from Kontakt 7?

gbotello

I insert Kontakt 7 into a midi channel, choose a sound that I want from Kontakt 7, play the midi track, and there is no sound. I am using Reaper as my DAW.

Any thoughts as to how to fix this?

Click the “i”icon (next to the Camera icon) in the instrument header, the midi receive channel will be displayed at the bottom left of the header. By default Kontakt assigns Midi channels in ascending order when loading instruments…first in the rack would be channel 1, second would be 2 and so on…

Make sure the Midi Track is set to the same Midi Channel that Kontakt is set to receive on. For example, most midi drum tracks are set to transmit on Channel 10…just make sure the channels match!

Ok thanks, how do I find out what channel Kontakt is receiving on?
