You’ll get a bit more out of Kontakt by making use of Live’s Instrument Racks. You can freeze External Instrument tracks.& Roundabouts Insert one on a new MIDI track and assign its MIDI To and Audio From as just described when using separate MIDI and Audio tracks. You can capture Kontakt’s output by recording on the audio tracks, but in Live versions 7 and above, Live’s External Instrument device offers a better solution. The separate-tracks solution is straightforward, but using two extra tracks for each additional instrument makes for a rather cluttered track list and the tracks cannot be frozen to save CPU cycles. For the details, see the ‘Configuring Kontakt For Live’ box. Although Live always shows the maximum number of audio inputs, Kontakt must be configured to use them. The AU version pairs consecutive mono output numbers with the Kontakt plug-in name (for example, the stereo input comprising Kontakt mono outs 3 and 4 is labelled ‘3/4-Kontakt 5’). In Live, Kontakt output labels depend on the plug-in version used. To receive audio from different Kontakt outputs, create separate Live audio tracks and assign their input to one of the additional 15 stereo outputs available from Kontakt (the first output, labelled ‘Main,’ is reserved for the track holding the Kontakt plug-in). Kontakt provides 16 MIDI inputs (A1 to A16), and the corresponding Live outputs are labelled by their number followed by the name of the Kontakt plug-in (for example, A2 appears as ’2-Kontakt 5’ in Live). One way to send MIDI to different instruments in Kontakt’s Multi Rack is to create a separate MIDI track for each instrument and set the track’s output to the Kontakt MIDI input for that instrument. Screen 1: You can use two Live tracks (left) or one External Instrument track (right) to access instruments in Kontakt’s Multi Rack. That does take a little doing, so read on. With this approach, you drag all of your instruments into the same instance of Kontakt and set them up to use separate Kontakt MIDI inputs and audio outputs.
That’s all well and good, but you’ll gain a lot of flexibility, avoid a few headaches and save some CPU cycles by using a single instance of Kontakt to hold all of your instruments and then using Live’s tracks and Racks to sort things out. In each case, just drag an instrument from Kontakt’s browser into its Multi Rack and start playing. The easiest way to work with Kontakt in Live is to use a separate instance of the Kontakt plug-in for each Kontakt instrument in your song.
