My guess is that your MIDI channels are not lined up properly. In Kontakt as well as every other VSTi instrument that I have you must select a MIDI channel for both input and output. For example if you have BiaB's bass on channel 5 but your Kontakt bass is set for channel 1 you will not hear the bass. So make sure that each BiaB output channel matches Kontakt's input channel.


Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

OK, thanks for the help. Although not sure anyone warned me about that little requirement. Ya, of course I know that the midi channels have to be aligned, but where and how to always do it is the problem.

Bottom line,
1 It can be a bear to get this stuff running. I think we are all in agreement on that.
2) Best to know you DAW inside and out. So forget all that nonsense about switching DAWs. I will stick with Reaper until they shut it down.
3) This Strummed Acoustic app sounds pretty damn nice. I an anxious to included it in a nice project.

Thanks again all.

Dan

look at what you have the channel and velocity on in Biab > Prefs > OutputChords.

Will have to write that down somewhere.



Yup.... that would do it. I use channel 6 as the output on my keyboard and if I forget to set the synth to channel 6 I get no noise either.

I thought it was very likely a software setting. See... you learned something new.

Pipeline told you this early on:

OMNI means all channels.

Here's the problem in this thread. Music Student, I think you know enough about midi to get by but you're not real good at it from the way you write. Not a slam on you, I'm exactly the same. Midi is very damned complicated, but I do know what OMNI means.

Pipeline is an expert and like so many experts, he assumes you know more than you do and just gives quick short cryptic answers.

And confusion reigns supreme.

And other people who are at the same level as us are waiting to find out if this works or not. Another case of the blind leading the blind.

There is no real answer to this kind of thing because the experts do not have the time to hold your hand to make sure you understand what they think you understand. We all have to take it on faith that it works, go slow, doublecheck everything and try to figure it out and I'm telling anybody who cares, IT AIN'T EASY!
