HI Jonel.

Maybe this will help below is an extract from one of my website articles:

“Kontakt users read on..
Having sorted that lot out I had a go at multiple instances of Kontakt On different tracks.
And a single instance of Kontakt used multiple times from different tracks calling a Kontakt combi different instruments on different channels.
First a word about Kontakt 5 full version.
This comes with 3 different Dlls, Kontakt, Kontakt 8 out. Kontakt 16 out.
The plain Kontakt version is in fact up to 32 out
The two lesser ones 8 and 16 are for slower and less well resourced PCs with slower processors and Daws that can only handle a small number of outputs from plug ins
A plug in VST has to advertise how many outputs it has to the host daw so that the host can make use of them..

If you are not likely to need more than 3 separate instances of Kontakt in your project then it is simplest to add all 3 versions to your available VST
via add vst plug ins.
This will allow you 3 completely independent instances of Kontakt on 3 separate tracks as each DLL is a separate version of Kontakt.
If you set each Kontakt input midi to omni it will pick up and play the incoming data from the track and the play thru voice if you have set up as above

The other option is to use a single instance of Kontakt but make it a multi
Each separate instrument in the multi will be available on any track that you insert it into .you will see it in each track .
To control which track plays which instrument of the multi do not use omni as the midi input use a channel number.
For each separate instrument in the multi use a different channel number.
Meanwhile back in Realband.
Set the channel number in the real band tracks ch no field, to the channel you want inside the multi that is already inserted as the VST for this track
You can then insert the same Kontakt vst multi to other tracks and set the channel number to correspond with the instrument you want from the multi’s instrument channel number
Reads more complex than it is, but it works and you get the right play through voice for any selected track where ever it comes from!”
