Hi again
Sorry you are still having problems and have decided to re install good luck with that.
However as this post has become a bit long and fragmented I have pulled it together as a single sheet of instructions for inserting Kontakt on Melody and Soloist .

First set up BIAB for normal; every day use, under the midi settings page.
Tick the box for, use vst /dxi synth
Un tick the box, route midi through to midi driver
Choose your default midi synth this needs to be a GM synth with all the basic midi voices available so at least the coyote wave table if you have no other favourite GM synth that you use.
I am assuming you have the Audio side set up re drivers and interface etc.

You should now be able to play any all midi style, and hear all parts.
It will also play any general midi voices that you have set for the melody or soloist parts via the default Synth at this stage, (as I say a normal set up)

I find it easiest to do the next bit under the Plugins dialog .
All the tracks are down the left hand side of the pop up window.

Just to check all is well click on the bottom one, “Default synth” you should see your chosen default in the top slot.

Now click on the melody track the top slot will be empty but at this stage it will still play the default synth.
Now insert KONTAKT 5 in its top slot
Load a single instrument into KONTAKT select the Kontakt input channel to
Port A from host channel 4 , channel 4 is the one that BIAB sends its melody data out on.

Now click on the Soloist track and insert another instance of Kontakt in the Soloist top slot, choose your Kontakt instrument and set the input to
Port A from host channel 8, channel 8 is the one that BIAB sends its Soloist data out on.,

Ok if you now have your midi data on melody track it should play with the Kontakt voice for the melody track as set in Kontakt.

If you were to have another copy of your melody data on the Soloist track that will play with the Kontakt voice for the soloist track as set in Kontakt.
You can now switch them in and out with the mute and back to normal functions of the F5 bar settings in BIAB.

You may also set other instances of Kontakt to play any style part with a Kontakt instrument instead of the default synth.

I have put a printable doc and pdf copy of this on my web site in My Technical Articles section here:

You can of course copy and paste from this forum page anyway but you will soon loose track of post on here,


Have fun
Mike
