Garritan Personal Orchestra KP2 Update
Hi friends,sorry for maybe stupid question. I am quite a newbie to REAPER and trying actually to get my GPO / Kontakt player VST-Orchestra started in REAPER. I have problems to properly set the MIDI tracks to the 8 channels of the Kontakt player respectively the GPO. Do I have to set up a new Kontakt VST instrument for every channel or is there a way to route several channels to one Kontakt player.Not sure if I use the right words to describe my problem, maybe you can help. Feel free to ask for more information and thanks in advance for your help!YoursRay Windsor. Oh and.Hello paccer and welcome to these forums.
You'll find many helpful people here and a lot of useful information. Make sure that you purchase Nicholas' excellent User Guide and ReaMix docs too. Worth their weight in gold.User Guide.ReaMix.Purchase.Distribution.Nicholas has also written 'Home Recording for Beginners', available at all good book shops:If you can, get hold of a copy of the Computer Music Beginner's Guide Special #32 - it's full of tutorials for beginners, using Reaper.This site will ship it internationally. Hi mate,seems to work now with several channels in one Kontakt Player, cool.
Although I haven't finally understood how the Audio routing is working (and why!). The three audio output tracks each carry the full audio of all Midi tracks. Is there a way to separate them to individual audio tracks to mix them down individually??Another thing. Is there a kind of 'MIDI Reset' buttton?
Haven't found any and after recording, my MIDI signal keep up and not being cut to zero, until I start a new playback.Ray. Hi mate,seems to work now with several channels in one Kontakt Player, cool.

I've been meaning to write it all down for some time, so I don't forget.I don't know the answer to the MIDI reset question. Maybe someone else can help with this one.Pete.

Below is a link to a pdf containing some notes I've written on using GPO Kontakt Player 2 as a multi in Reaper. But the notes are probably relevant to any multi in Kontakt Player 2 (KP2) and Kontakt 2 (K2).I needed to write it down, otherwise I know I'll forget in a few months (it must be my age).
It might be of use to someone else out there.Let me know if you spot any errors or if you know of a better way.There are a lot of pages, but it's mostly pictures. Also, it's much easier to do in practice that in looks when it's written down.edit: I've already spotted a typo on the first page. Sod it, I'm not going to change it yet.edit (30th Jan 2010) the third part of the pdf above describes Feedback Routing. I'm no longer sure that this is a good approach (see links below).
Instead of feedback routing, I now use separate tracks for the Midi and the Audio. Once the Multi has been created, the routing can easily be built from the items listed under Options in the Fx window. It results in double the tracks but, to make things look tidy, tracks you don't want to see can be hidden.edit (28th Feb 2010). It's easier the build the routing than explained in the pdf note. Instead to build the outputs and midi inputs, in the Reaper Fx options click on 'Build multichannel routing.'
Then 'Build 16 channels of MIDI.' Thanks, stratman!That's a good tutorial! A 'connect-the-dots' routing guide even I can understand. Only one small comment: on p. 17 shouldn't the folder have an 'end the track' folder set, either on track 12 or on a new track 13?Is there a way to send you a few dollars thru PayPal as a thank you?Here's another question that I probably should be asking on the Garriton forum but does anyone know if individual instruments (or groups of instruments) in a kit can be routed out to tracks? For example, can I route out the bass drum and the snare stir from the JABB Brush Drum Kit onto separate tracks like in your tutorial?
Merdave @post #11You can do this easily in Kontakt 2 because you can see the samples in the mapping editor and set them to different Groups. Then assign the Groups to different outputs.Unlike Kontakt, the Kontakt Player seems to be much more limited in this respect and the above option doesn't seem to be available.
However, I can think of a cheat way of doing this with the Kontakt Player 2. Maybe there's a better method.
I don't know.Load up KP2 as a multi.Now load multiple instances of the drum kit.
