Kontakt Routing In FL Studio - Multiple Outputs Into Mixer

This video describes how to treat your instruments in Kontakt as individual instruments in FL Studio. This allows you to have maximum control over your instruments in terms of effects and other features. The process should be fairly similar in any other DAW.

I couldn't find any good tutorials on how to do this nor could I find any good instructions in forums, so I had to go and experiment...so since I figured it out, I'm just sharing it with you so you can have more time to make hot beats!

I used Kontakt 4 and FL Studio 9, so if you have older versions of these programs, the steps might be slightly different.

Question: Why not create multiple instances of Kontakt plugins (vs creating midi outputs for every instrument) each assigned to their own instrument (or a multi if you want to apply FX and adjust parameters for all in that particular instance). Thay way, you can right click in FL mixer and use "Link selected channel-to this track"

Thanks in advance for your time and help,

@infinitecomplete that's definitely possible and it works, but i'd believe it's way less efficient that way...opening a midi out uses less computer resources than opening up an instance of kontakt

sorry if someone already said this but you don't need to add midi out channels for all of the instruments you use in kontakt. in the piano roll, when you're laying notes, changing the color of the notes changes the corresponding channel. considering there are sixteen note colors, you won't need to add channels unless your kontakt is routing more than sixteen instruments.

@mmbkmm I don't mean opening up new instances of Kontakt. You just use the same piano roll for every instrument in your Kontakt, just use a different pattern for each instrument and name your patterns accordingly. It's not better, it's not worse. It's just an alternative.

@oceanicblack oops i meant to reply to infinitecomplete lol, but you're right

[Afrogermanic]

[ZiahJolley]

Thanks SO much for the awesome tutorial

@theiconicproductionz im not sure what you mean? can u explain?

[mmbkmm]

@oceanicblack wow i never noticed that, but i personally prefer adding midi out channels for better organization, and that way you have a separate piano roll for each instrument
