Kontakt 5 Player in Sonar - Outputs

I have the Kontakt 5 free player which I use for Vir2 Acoustic Legends HD and Electr6ity.  No problem there.
 
I recently downloaded some free content from NI for the Kontakt 5 player.  There are a couple of good drum kits included.
 
Question: How do I assign various drums in a kit to different outpus?  I know how to do this with Session Drummer 3, but not with Kontakt.  For example, I want the kick, snare, and hi-hat on different audio tracks.  I could open multiple instances of Kontkt, but there must be a better way.
 
Thanks.

Thanks, kevo, but how does one get to the mixer/console view in the free player?  I do not see that.

Let me check and see when I get in the studio. 
 

Here are a few videos that hopefully will help give you an idea of how to do the routing.

NI Forum Moderator's answer:
You can configure the Outputs section of Kontakt to support multiple outputs (see your manual for details on how this works).

But as far as different libraries, it depends which libraries and how they are set up. With some libraries, multi-outputs are designed to be accessible from the Performance View (the panel where you can adjust various things about the instrument). If you are working with a library that doesn't have this available in Performance View, you won't be able to do this in Kontakt Player -- you would need the full version of Kontakt to do it.

Konrad's reply:
Thanks for replying. With the drum kits included with the free content for Kontakt 5, I do not see any way to route the individual drum sounds on the panel I assume is the performance panel: the one with attack, articulation, etc.

From this I assume it is not possible to route the individual sounds to various tracks in Sonar.
Do you know if this function is available in the Abbey Road collection sold by NI and compatible with the free player?
Thanks.

I think the routing of different drums to different outputs is only available if the kit is made up of separate instruments. The free kits that come with the free player are single instruments, whereas, if you load up e.g. Steven Slate kits, they are multis, with each drum or cymbal being a separate instrument that can be routed to your choice of output

Ah yes, I already have the Factory Library, it came with Kontakt when I bought Komplete. There is indeed some great stuff there. 

Take a look at the top left of the drum kit instrument in Kontakt. Do you see a spanner icon? This is the Edit Mode button. I think...but I'm not sure....that perhaps you can use these options to route different notes through different channels. I have no idea how you do it because I have not delved into that area of Kontakt, but I should think it explains everything on that option screen in the manual. 

If the spanner isn't there, I guess that means instrument editing is not available in the free player.  

If it is, and you can do the routing here, you would of course have to create the stereo channels in the "output" window (icon at the top of the player). There are tutorials on YouTube that explain how to do that.

I have K5 and can access the output section from the toolbar. I can also call up a mixer and mix the individual drums inside of kontakt. If you can't access these modules with the player I think you're stuck. I also can't tell you how I'm set up for multi-outs.

Kontakt really seems to suck when it comes to setting up multi outs. If I set up one kit and then change the kit, the multi out stops working. In the Abbey Road 60's drums you get a retro design interface for the mixer and it's also tied in with the multi out settings.

Kontakt needs to take a leaf out of Battery's book. Setting up multi-outs from Battery is so easy in comparison.

I don't know about the difference between the player and the full version, but with the Abbey Road drums in Kontakt 5, click on the wrench to access the instrument editor.

Click on the Script Editor button. then click on the Mixer tab. A drop-down menu below each fader allows choosing whichever output channels you've added to your output mixer.

I don't think the player does scripting, but it may run scripts...see if the Script Editor button is there.

In Abbey Road Drums, you can access the routing selectors by simply going to the mixer tab at the bottom, you don't need to go via the wrench icon.
