Multi=Project
I have a default multi that is part of my new project template. It has all of my typical instruments and FX laid out and routed as I like it.

Option to consider
I confess that I actually, rarely start a song with Kontakt. But my usual workflow often includes it to enhance an idea. So, if your workflow isn’t like mine, fine.

Kontakt Tip: Set up a virtual "band" as a template

Tip: Make Kontakt load faster
What problem does the tip below solve? - Kontakt 7 loads extremely slow with a lot of people. Despite many promises, not much was done about it by NI.
