Thanks, Mystic - I REALLY mean to try that out (and thanks for clarifying how to do the save), when time permits.

If I can get that to work like that, then I will most likely choose to use that approach, as it would cut down on instances of Kontakt 5, which lessens the Sonar memory footprint, making my computer happier, and spreading joy throughout the land.  (Sorry, got carried away a bit at the end).

I DO like the memory savings of that - so I will post back when I get a chance to try it out.

The sections hybrid approach sounds pretty mentally useful - I always give instrument its own audio track, and suggest you think of trying to organize it that way - and creating sections through track folders and grouped faders and such.  I think that would maybe give you a bit more finite control over relative balance within a given section - just a thought.

lol..checkout the vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjWyt0DVRqM&feature=plcp .. i do typically architect multiout synths with individual audio outs and often a bus structure also (maschine most common example for me).. but when i get onto a kontakt heavy project i may be back to you..lol

EDIT - duplicate post!

Presets/batch configuration > save current output section state as default for > vstplugin(16 out)

That is the missing link! After doing this it works perfectly - even my old Track Template is OK now!
 
 
 

there is no downside to spending 5mins clearing up the output routing confusion :)

I have spent a whole lot more than that, during the last year and a half, trying to work this out. I must have tried every combination of things *except* the right one - and I don't think I ever saved as a default (probably because it never looked right)
 
In your earlier post, I thought you said to remember to save the SONAR Track Template - that's why I missed this.
 
Thanks for persevering with this Mystic - you're a star!

We may never win in this struggle between man and machine (I think the next release is called Sky Net) - but being there for each other seems to help a bit,

LISTEN UP PEOPLE! 

 
 
Kontakt 5 has total 64ch of streaming audio to configuration. That makes it total 32ch of Stereo routed to--> 28ch Stereo OUT and 4ch of AUX from KONTAKT 5. You can use any VST- version or STANDALONE to config/ setup “any version” any channel routing and you can save different setups/configs for both STAND ALONE –version and any VST-I version RTAS.
 
How is this done?


1.       Go to OUTPUTs Section inside Kontakt.
2.       Make and add as many channels you want.
3.       When you done go to the OUTPUTs Section of Kontakt top Left menu--> Save current output section state as default for------> XXXXXX (your choice)
 
(Working in DAW VST-I setup and you can’t see all the 64channel inside until you “save”-Config”. You need to restart/reload Kontakt 5 to get more/all that channels)
 
Hope it helps!
 

Thanks, Freddie - I needed some more condescending comments in my evening.

I DO appreciate the info, just not so much on the tone

Sorry Bob my friend about the "tone".
That wasn't my intention. It was meant to be a friendly help!

Freddie,
 
You need to fill in some missing steps and text. If you combine your pictures with Mystic's text - that will be the definitive "Kontakt Output" tutorial! ;-)
 
That would even deserve to be a sticky IMHO

No sweat - Freddie.  Quite difficult to determine through font and shift.
