I don't follow your last paragraph at all.
But never mind, I'll show you what to do.
this is a Kontakt channel,, Stereo to Stereo. This is the designated communication with that instance.
It should do what it says on the tin, in so many words.
I have not used Kontakt for a mono out, ever. This probably doesn't do any mono, as you see but 32 and the limit is 64 for "Kontakt".
However, I'll indicate what I do for an instrument which is outputting both stereo and mono by default, next.
Oh well, never mind, the forum doesn't want to alttach that one.
So we know that Kontakt does 64 channels in all, and seeing "32" as the last possibility these will pretty much have to be stereo. I suppose then this is how Stereo to Stereo functions.
I tried to show something using mono outs by default, but I don't know how I know that to begin with. I may even have read the manual. ;)
So, I tested this in VEP 7 and in Cubase 10. Both output 6 stereo channels as expected.
I appreciate the help!
Well... the issue is this, if I have a stereo kontakt instrument, say "cello staccato" and I route it to input 1, using channels 1-2, everything works as expected, if I route that same stereo instrument to input 15, which should be using channels 27-28, I think the audio is actually coming out channel 28 and 29. Kontakt shows that it it's only sending it 27-28, but ve pro is showing it's sending out input 15 and input 16 simultaneously. The stereo imaging is all wrong, and it sounds like it's a mono signal coming out of both channels. Does that make sense?
Here's my attempt at posting screenshots:
ve pro routing when playing one note, comes out of two channels
Thanks!
Welp. I give up. I tried restarting, and rebuilding the outputs in kontakt from scratch again (and again), but no luck.
I guess it never occurred to me, but I'm just going to open up multiple kontakt instances inside the ve pro instance...
[Update] yep, that worked fine. Gah, wish that would've occurred to me sooner
if I route that same stereo instrument to input 15, which should be using channels 27-28, I think the audio is actually coming out channel 28 and 29.
Input 15 is looking for 29 and 30.
multiply the input number by 2 to get the second number as per Kontakt's outs (if they're all stereo).
However this is not the cause of what I just experienced, which pretty much reproduces the issue:
a .nki assigned to up to 'st. 10', VEP is looking for 19-20, is fine.
At 'st. 11' VEP, looking for 21-22, is outputting st. 10, 11, and 12;
at 'st 12', no signal.
This appears to be broken somewhere.
EDIT: this is Kontakt '6'
Kontakt 5.8.1 works perfectly in Cubase Pro (10.0.20) for 19-20 (aka Unassigned 7-8 in the configuration I have) and 21-22 (or Un 9-10) separated normally. It does exactly the same thing as Kontakt 6.04 in VE Pro 7.
I think we have a bug.
I do multiple outputs from Kontakt very seldomly and when I do it's few, maybe 4 at most but I wanted to be certain. Past 20, or VEP's Input 10, it breaks. Apparently where Kontakt deems its outputs 'Unassigned' they are pairs of mono in its paradigm. EG: Cubase sees the default list and "21-22" is two channels. VE Pro for Stereo to Stereo only sees stereo pairs.
This is kind of a basic incompatibility. I'm glad I never needed this.
