OtherJesus Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hi guys, I'm using Logic Pro X and I'm a new Kontakt user, trying to get the Abbey Road drums to route to individual channels. I've got experience doing this in the EXS, no problem, but as I said I'm new to Kontakt. I've read through this thread: http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=81260&start=20 and watched this video: More sharing options... whitebalance Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 You know, I tried it a couple of times in L9 and LX and had the same issues as you, channels in Kontakt not coinciding with the channels in Logic no matter the version, etc. Then I tried again and I have no idea what I did differently but all my subsequent attempts were successful and all drums sit on the channels they belong in Logic now. I think the Kontakt's engine should be restarted every time you mess with the outputs or you end up with wrong channel names in the wrong places (this is the best explanation I can come up with as to why my first couple of attempts were unsuccessful). If you want I can send you my working multi nkm file to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... OtherJesus Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 After more interwebbing I found a thread on the NI forums suggesting that sometimes you have to restart Logic a few times and then it just works. I'll have to experiment with that (because I didn't try that yet). But if you want to link your file, that could be cool too. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... OtherJesus Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Thought I would come back to report my finding. Hope I explain this well enough. I'm using Kontakt as 8 stereo/ 8 mono It appears that Kontakt treats mono channels 1-8 as something else. But I'm not 100% sure what that is but it appears that it treats them as a channel of the stereo tracks. Referring to my original post... what I have done beyond that is create and addition 8 mono channels in Kontakt. I noticed that on the mixer section of Kontakt, the channels have output numbers at the bottom. I also noticed that when I click the (+) button on the Kontakt channel in Logic that at the top of the channel strip, the first mono channel reads Kont 5 17 (which means Kontakt 5 channel 17). So I go into Kontakt, find channel 17 in the mixer and at the top of the Kontakt channel it says mono 9. I then assign the kick drum to mono 9, snare to 10, etc. Boom. Seems to do the trick. If anybody else has any ideas, or a better way, please let me know. Thanks!

The first mono channel = 17 because you have 8 stereo channels with left and right before it, so it all makes sense. Here's my nkm anyway just in case.

I've tried creating 8 more monos and assigning #17 on the kick for instance and logic still doesn't see it. How do I accès that nom file whitebalance uploaded? Thanks.
