Using a step sequencer to run a reaktor instrument

I would like to run a Reaktor instrument with the step sequencer but I can't get the step sequencer created.  Has any one done this .  I just got komplete and its fabulous.  The other issue too is that Kontakt doesn't show up in the browser, but it does in the menu to insert an instrument.  So I can load it that way. Why is that?

    I figured out how to do that but the step sequencer wipes out whatever notes I create.  How do I keep intact my previous notes entered.  When I cut and paste the step rhythm as soon as I change the step sequencer it changes all of my copying and pasting. before the now time marker.

    Once you copy a step sequence, you right-click on the copied clip and select UNLINK.
    After this if you make changes on the step sequence the changes will not reflect on the copied one.
    Please try this.

    I have installed KONTAKT [KOMPLETE 10] yesterday night but could try with SONAR.
    If you remember where you have installed, I think you need to include that path in the vstplugin lookup directory, if it not the same directory of your existing vst plugin directory.
    Secondly, does you SONAR automatically scan for new vst's when you start or if you have set it to manual scan then please scan vst again.
    Hope this two will solve. I will check mine tonight and I will share my feedback.

    Running the Komplete installation after Sonar is already present, the Komplete installer automatically should offer the VST plugin paths to go into the Cakewalk VST plugin path as currently set in the Plugin Manager.
     
    And if Sonar is using default behavior, it should pick up the new Komplete plugins automatically when Sonar starts.  If needed, you can always run a plugin scan through the Cakewalk Plugin Manager.
     
    Also, I am wondering if perhaps you haven't finished the authorization process for your new Komplete install.  You should have launched Service Center and completed the authorization process, and also downloaded and installed any available component updates.  (once everything is authorized, the Service Center application has a tab for Update that will compare installed components against current maintenance levels, and present any available ones for download and install right from the Service Center.
     
    By the way, when you DO get the plugins to start showing up, you will see 3 available Kontakt versions - Kontakt has 3 flavors of the program that each have a different number of available audio outputs (8, 16, 64, I believe).  There are a couple of ways of distinguishing them - anytime I install Kontakt I go into the Cakewalk Plugin Manager and look at the properties of each of those 3 Kontakt dll's, and in the details you can see the number of outputs for each.  I then rename each module per its associated number of outputs (Kontakt - 8 Outs, Kontakt 16 Outs, Kontakt 64 Outs), and thereafter I can always pick the desired one based on that instance's output needs.

    Thanks yes I did all the updates and registered with service center.  I'll try the unlink, because I didn't know about that thanks so much.  I'm trying to figure out how to create a drum map for the studio drums and abbey road.  I just got Komplete a week ago. I am not finding any optioons for drum map in my output.  I can save patterns with the drum names that I put in but getting the drum map to work I haven't yet figured that out.
