Hi guys… since we’re on the issues of templates and workflow for 2016, i have a wired question with regard to Kontakt.

all along i have large template sets in various instances of Kontakt; some with more instruments and some with less - from 6 instruments to 12 maximum. They are all set up with their own folders and then the MIDI tracks will load and placed into their respective folders.

recently, out of laziness, i decided to use one instrument per single instance of Kontakt. i found the advantages as follows:

easy track controls - (need need to look for track being MIDI or Instrument Audio Track; MUTE, SOLO, VST… etc

easy to Freeze a single instrument - as opposed to the whole Kontakt collection

easy to change to a different instrument (ie from Kontakt Piano to Korg M1) - all Track, MIDI, Notepad, Version… etc data is retained

dont have to double check on either MIDI or Audio Automation

some other benefits…

i was wondering if using one instrument per Kontakt instance is more efficient or still using the previous workflow of Kontakt Multitimbral with separate MIDI tracks… any advice is much appreciate.

many thanks all… Cheers!!!

This is how I use kontakt - It should spread the load equally across multiple cores when you do this also.
