When used in standalone mode, Kontakt Player 2 supports MIDI
input from 4 simultaneous ports, yielding a maximum of 64
simultaneous MIDI channels. You can access this by enabling up to
four different incoming ports in the Input Interface section. They are
assigned in order; the first enabled port will appear in Kontakt Player
2 as [A] 1-16, the second enabled port as [B] 1-16, and so on.
The Output Interface section is used to specify where the MIDI is
channeled to (similar to MIDI THRU ports). Typically this is not used
for most sampling applications.
Plug-in Use
Used as a plug-in, Kontakt Player 2 is not a standalone program, but
rather a "module" that can be used within a host sequencer. While
standalone mode is often useful when Kontakt Player 2 is all you
need, plug-in mode is more useful when sequencing, or when other
plug-ins may be in use. For example, in a sequencing environment
you may wish to record 16 channels of Kontakt Player 2 instruments
then combine them with other audio or MIDI tracks and create a mix.
Plug-in operation provides other benefits such as:
•MIDI sequencing of Kontakt Player 2 and audio mixdown
of the MIDI tracks within a single program
•Comfortable automation of Kontakt Player 2 parameters in
the host sequencer
•Further processing of Kontakt Player 2 signals using
additional plug-ins
•Restoring of all plug-in settings when the host sequencer
recalls a project
•Integration with other instruments into a "virtual studio"
