I have been trying to use Kontakt 2 with Live 5 but cannot figure out how to use it correctly. When I used cubase, I just selected Kontakt as an instrument and then routed each sample to a specific MIDI channel. In Live, it seems that you cannot just have one instance of Kontakt open, you have to open a new instance of it for each MIDI channel you want to use it on. I have tried changing the channel routings and with the ASIO settings but am getting nowhere. What is the best way of using Kontakt 2 with Live 5?? HELP!

Not using Kontact, but if it works like any other multi channel plugin just load it on a track, now add another MIDI track, set its 'midi to' dropdown to the channel that Kontakt is on, from the dropdown below select a channel, it should list the channels available, arm the track and it should play the sound on that channel in Kontakt.

Hey,

Thanks for that, will give it a go!
