default" button in the Output section. This ensures that at next
startup the outputs are the way you set them.
Another way to store and recall an output configuration is for plug-in
use only – it is trickier and needs careful handling. The output
configuration is also stored together with a plug-in’s total recall data,
which means that a saved song will be recalled with the output
config it was saved with. This means that a recalled song might
contain a Kontakt Player 2 instance with outputs differing from the
default configuration; or it might even contain several Kontakt Player
2 instances using entirely different output configurations. This bears a
lot of potential trouble and practically no host can effectively handle
this situation.
This is why Kontakt Player 2 has to declare its output requirements
the first time an instance gets plugged in; this cannot be changed
from that point on. The host thinks Kontakt Player 2 has only one
output configuration, being the stored default config. This is why it is
a good idea to stick to the default configuration and make every
change in the default itself (by clicking on "make default"). When
using Kontakt Player 2 as a plug-in in a sequencer, it's also advisable
to unplug and then replug all instances after a fundamental change
and / or reloading the song.
"Reset Out Map" (reset output mapping) restores the output
mapping to the default settings. Kontakt Player 2 allows you to freely
map each of the output channels to the available physical outputs.
The button automates this in a simple default way: all physical
outputs are assigned to Kontakt Player 2's output channels until they
are used up. Take for example the new 8-channel VST version; if the
user has Kontakt Player 2 set up to use 2 stereo and 4 mono
outputs, and he presses the make default button, then the 8
available plug-in outs will be fully assigned to the available Kontakt
Player 2’s output strips (1-2, 3-4, 5, 6, 7, 8). The aux channels,
coming after the "normal" output channels, will receive no
assignment in this example. On the other hand, if you Kontakt Player
2 set up with just two stereo outputs, the other four available
