Korg Zero 8 and Ableton audio channels

Would anybody know how I can set up ableton so that I can have
multiple audio channels go out to the Zero 8?
For some reason I am only able to have ableton go out
to one channel on the Zero 8. In Output Config I only have
a choice of the mono and stereo channels. How do I add more? Thank you.

I don't have a Zero 8, but I think you need to select the audio output on each track's output (not in the preferences).

Thank you for you fast response. On the audio output on each track I only am able to choose
from Master and 1-audio. There are no other channels available.

you will need to go into lives preferences and enable all of the Z8's in's and outs..
You should also select the Z8 as a controller in lives midi preferences.
This opens up a couple of creative doors including having the Z8's eight encoders on the master panel be able to see the eight encoders in a live rack on the currently selected track.
To be able to get to other racks on other tracks you can also map the push down momentary switch on the same encoders to the racks. When you push down on an encoder on the Z8 live will jump to that track.

Wow! Great! Thank you for the suggestions. I just got the Zero 8 and am trying to figure things out.
Your suggestions will really help my work flow. I just figured out what I was doing wrong. I wasn't able to enable the channels as I had chosen the wrong driver (MME/DirectX) which limited the channels. I should have chosen ASIO. I have all the channels available now
Now off to have some fun with the Zero 8 and
ableton!!!
