Virtual Instruments publish their audio outs as busses in DP. Beyond that it's relatively straightforward, inside Kontakt set each instrument to a separate audio output pair and in DP make aux tracks (or audio tracks) that have each of the Kontakt outs as an input. In the menu for the busses sometimes a virtual instrument like Kontakt can be way down on the list so keep scrolling.
M2 Studio Ultra, RME Babyface FS, Slate Raven Mti2, NI SL88 MKII, Linnstrument, MPC Live II, Launchpad MK3. Hundreds of plug ins.

Have you attempted to implement Michael's instructions?

Per his recommendation, Add Aux tracks in DP, assign Kontakt Outputs as Inputs to the Aux Tracks. Assign the Aux Track outputs to your stereo bus or drum bus>stereo bus. If you want to record individual drums on audio tracks, assign Aux track outputs to Audio Track inputs, Or you can use Sends on the Aux tracks with Sends routed to Audio Track inputs.

In my template, I have all tracks (VIs and Audio) routed to subgroups that are routed to the mix bus. Sends on each subgroup are routed to Stem Audio Track inputs, so I can record my stereo mix and all stems simultaneously.
