Yet another tutorial on this I follow to the T and doesn't work at all. I'm starting to think my Ableton or NI Komplete is bugged.

after 02:11 you forgot that after select "in" u wanna click above it where it says "Ext In" and change it to Kontakt

Thank you for the detailed tutorial. The information here can be applied to other Kontakt VSTs. Just one thing : audio output on channel 1 and 2 works separately from other channels.// Stereo output 1 and 2 on Kontakt 6 doesn't freeze on Ableton.

this is a good video however you didnt talk about 1 very importnat step which is having to go into every track in the mixer in KONTAKT and changing each instrument track to the corresponding output.

Thanks for the video, man! I have a problem, my post mixer does not appear in stereo like yours. What can I do? Thanks.

Im not getting the option to route the audio from Kontakt Drummer - only from the other audio channels within the project? any ideas

[ragenationapparel]

I was so absolutely ecstatic to get my roland drums working here. I am completely burnt on the routing process. Like linking the channels from Kontakt to your ableton . Can I compensate you for your time to help me with this by chance?

Thing is when u write in midi from a vst in this way u still will have on piano roll the notes name, not the instruments parts, right?

[Chaotic_Enigma]

Is this doable with most drum vst's like Rigid Audio's Drum One, Spitfire Audio's Cinematic Percussion, or Thunder X3M taiko by Strezov Sampling?

[anthonygasermusic]

that's one part that's not explained

[ryanewalters]

Im not sure i understand why you want to do this can't you just adjust the volume of each piece on one midi track????
