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?

Hi, I was holing this would be a solution but it's not. For me, everything is loading but the sounds. The memory will just sit at 0. I tried to purge and reload samples and I've batch-resaved. I'm not sure what to do, but I need to make this deadline. Any ideas? Thanks!
I was having the same issue with Reaper and Kontakt 7. Kontakt 7 works fine in Mainstage but for some reason I couldn't get any sound out even though I see the vol and midi respond when looking at the vst interface. Tried AU instrument in the same track and I do get sound. I ended up creating a new track and it worked. Didn't keep track of what I was doing so it could have been something like not have the track armed. Most likely user error.
Totally bummed. Midi keyboard signal reaching Kontakt 7 player, meters show input, but no input signal going to Reaper. Thoughts?
@WILLIAM VINING Is this happening with any library or instrument? Is Kontakt 7 working as expected in standalone?
Try resetting the outputs for the VST3 plugin:
Go to this menu and choose "outputs"
Then choose "reset output configuration for VST3 plug-in
If you still don't get sound, you can also try this:
Please close all audio applications before following these steps.
In the Reset KONTAKT's Output Section 4. should that not be OPEN the following folder not DELETE or how can you rename the default folder? You've deleted it.
Open works.
