Kontakt, Sonar, and Steven Slate Drums

BretB


It can be done.  I use that very setup.  Steven Slate drums to 16 or 18 tracks.  I think what you are needing to setup is in Kontakt.  In the lower right hand of your synth screen, make sure you can see the mixer assignments.  Select the channel assignments to make changes.  Mine seems to default to channels 1/2 and all drum sounds come out of my "kick" channel.  Easily changed and assigned.

Ok Ryan this is going to be a bit jumbled because I'm on my iPad. Ok 1st thing, load Kontakt vst, just Kontakt and NOT one of the other options like 16 out or 8 out. When the dialogue come up, choose all stereo outputs. Kontakt will now load 40 and more tracks. Ignore that for now. Go to the 1st track and re name kick, second snare, 3rd toms....etc until you cover all the instruments you want. Next delete all the extra Kontakt tracks that you don't want. Ok, open Kontakt load a slte kit...... Make sure the mixer is showing then klick on config button, for the kick drum, you will see two outputs, select 1 for the first then 2 for the second from the drop down that appears when you click. Don't close this panel just use the navigate buttons to move to the snare select outputs 3 and 4, navigate to toms, select 4 and 5.... Etc, you get the idea. Now depending on the version of Kontakt you are using, click either make default or save as your own configuration. If you've followed these steps you should be good to go. It's a bit if a PITA but once done, you won't forget and you'll get faster. Personally as I use this for all my projects I have this saved in the normal template any way. You could also save as a track tempate...... I hope this helps????
