Thanks swamptooth and  Bristol_Jonesey.
Right clicking on the icon does not give me the option to "Split Instrument Track".
If Kontakt does not make differentiations between channel numbers in automation, how can it play the mix correctly - with automation - before the bounce?
Thanks for the workaround, that's not really a practical solution for daily work.

You mean you don't see this?

Bristol I think he's on X1. I don't know if that option is available in X1.

The ability to split tracks has been around as long as instrument tracks.

@grem - yeah it's available - even as far back as home studio 7 the first cake product i bought in 20 years. 
i think it's not a simple instrument track.... i'm getting the feeling it's like this...

kontakt setup...




automation setup...




and the automation DOES work on both channels - I'VE NEVER EVER GOTTEN THAT TO WORK BEFORE! SO THANKS!!!! :D


bounce track (select audio out plus all midi tracks - see blue squares in folder and audio/midi lanes)




and finally, make sure fx/synth automation is checked and all the bus options are unchecked and all the "R" buttons on each track are on (in white)
 



that should work.

Thanks a million.
Instead of seeing "Split Instrument Track", I get "Make Instrument Track".
I also used "Export Audio" instead of "Bounce To Track".
"Bounce To Track" renders the mix correctly.
Again, thank you.
