Where is Kontakt output 1-2 in V-Rack?

So I have a copy of Kontakt loaded up on an instrument track in V-Rack1. In the Bundles window I only see Kontakt outputs 3-16. How do I get at outputs 1-2?
Thanks,
Jason

What does your audio bundles (instrument tab) look like? I've seen the same problem with BFD. I really haven't tried other multi-out AU's but perhaps this happens with all of them? Maybe a DP bug?

Instruments tab only shows 3-16. Seems like outs 1-2 always come straight out the instrument track to whatever its output is assigned to. Do you have to send them to a bus to use them elsewhere maybe?

No one else using Kontakt and multiple outs in DP4.6 out there? Surely I'm not the only one....

I just tried it using Kontakt2 and get the same thing. But, this also happens for BFD, so I think it's just a DP thing. In Kontakt, you can determine which of its "physical" outputs (the outputs it advertises to DP) are used for a given patch. Just make sure that the patch isn't sending to outputs 1 or 2 and you'll be fine.

So it looks like a bug, then. I have to lose 2 of my 16 outs? 1-2 seem to come out of the instrument track. I guess I could buss that somewhere else if need be...

This is not a bug. The Instrument track (itself) is outputs 1-2 for the instrument. The instrument track can be bussed and printed to a stereo track (as you know). Mutiple outs beyond that start with 3 on up...

Thanks for the clarification motuhelper. Do you work for MOTU? If so, (and even if not so), it's good having you around!

So not a bug, but just an inconvenient inconsistency. It would make a lot more sense for 1-2 to show up in the Instruments tab of the Bundles dialog so you could handle them like the rest of the outputs. It's a little weird to have buss them separately.
Thanks,
Jason
