Accessing Kontakt 3 & 4 MIDI port 17-32, 33-48 in DP 7

Post by nmgold »

Hi everyone,

Does anybody know if DP 7 will address this? I have to launch a second instance of Kontakt 3 or 4 in DP once I exceed 16 MIDI channels but Kontakt offers 4 banks of 16 in one instance. Never could figured this out in DP 6, I assume it doesn't work?

thanks in advance

Neil

so far I know accessing the other ports is only possible in standalone version of kontakt

at least I´ve never found a way to do that (same in logic, protools...)

AFAIK, this is a limitation of the AU spec only being able to address 1 port (16 channels) for any AU plug instance.

probably the case, Mach V 2 and Ethno do show multiple MIDI banks but that's probably because they are running under MAS.
