missing 3rd party direct connect

[mister]

I've been trying to run the kontakt 1.1 demo. Even though the installer has placed the kontakt direct connect plug in in my dae folder I can't get said plug in to appear in a session. Help me if you can. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Create a stereo aux track.

add the kontakt plug-in to insert A and you're away.

of course you'll be as annoyed as I was when there's no clear way of playing 1 single midi channel without them all coming out at once, the plug-in is limited to 8 stereo outputs from what I can tell from playing with it long enough to know I'd rather use something that works better than Kontakt does.

It's been an overhyped letdown for me when I saw the cpu hogging performance and lame integration with protools.

I think I'd go for it when they've got it under OS X and offer more outputs like 1 stereo output for upto 16 midi channels. or mixed and matched between 32 midi channels and 32 mono and stereo tracks. 8 outputs is so lame, I'd rather wait for sampletank 2 myself.

John H. thanks for the reply but the problem is that I can't add the kontakt dc plug to a stereo aux track because I'm not given the option. Hmm. thanks for your opinion on the program though. Sampletank 2 does sound pretty good.
