Are we talking RealBand or BIAB? I'll assume RealBand. I'll also assume you have your AUDIO set up properly so when RealBand actually has audio it can be heard (when there is audio)
When you are playing a song in RB and you see the VU meters for that MIDI track moving do you ALSO see the VU meters in the Kontakt Player moving for that instrument? If not then the MIDI data is not being HEARD by Kontakt. RB and Kontakt are not on same channel, or same port, or both. Try setting Kontakt channel to OMNI to see if its getting ANY MIDI data in at all
If not try this maybe you haven't told RB which DEVICE to send MIDI data to. A couple ways to get to same effective place depending on HOW you set Kontakt to the track:
1) In RB Preferences, MIDI Devices have you checked the box next to:
"Re-Route MIDI playback to default DXi/VSTi synth"
and then below that selected Kontakt as your default DXi/VSTi? If not you may have to reload the SONG (then it should all work)
or
2) more simply right click on track in RB, then specify which VSTi by selecting: "Specific VSTi/DXi synth for MIDI track"
then scroll down to Kontakt VSTi
Now open the Kontakt Player GUI by again right clicking on track and coming down to (again verify RB sending and Kontakt receiving channels): "Open VSTi/DXisynth panel configuration"
