To play Kontakt Player 2 with your keyboard, record-enable the MIDI
track which you have routed to Kontakt Player 2 and make sure MIDI
Patch Through is enabled in the Studio menu of Digital Performer.

card. If the plug-in does not receive MIDI or generate audio, then
make sure to check the following areas:

Make sure MIDI Patch Through is enabled in the Studio menu of
Digital Performer.

The MIDI channel of your MIDI track must correspond to the receive
channel of the loaded instrument.

Make sure that the instruments track output is correctly set.

Make sure that you have properly configured your sound card for use
