Assign Distinct MIDI channels per Articulation?
please point me to the correct tutorial for this, or explain how this can be set up in SONAR 8.5.
Example: In Kontact Each Instrument can have a distinct MIDI channel, Sustain = 1, Portamento = 2, etc.
cheers!

Assign Distinct MIDI channels per Articulation?

Why not using only one channel in kontakt with instrument bank and multi-script.
-In kontakt, create a new instrument bank and put it in different articulations:
-press the multi-script button below the NI logo and View button then,
-open the script preset menu and choose preset/factory/transform/notes to prog changes
-set the note range you want to use for Keyswitches. It will tranform those notes in program changes messages on every bank on every midi channels. It will be similar to keyswitches in Vienna Instrument. Personnally I hate to have multiples tracks for one instrument just like it whas 10 years ago with my 32Mo Emu sampler.
Voilà

Appologies! My question is about: Vienna Instruments Pro I'm trying to follow these directions. " There are two ways to do what you ask using the workflow I describe, and the method used will be based on how the "layered" articulations are being handled. For example, if you want to always use the supporting or "layered" articulation in conjunction with another, then all you do is assign it the same MIDI channel. IOW, artic 1 and artic 2 will be triggered simultaneously every time a MIDI note that was assigned that MIDI channel is played. As an example, you could use this technique on 'Staccato Trumpets' and 'Cresc. Trumpets', assigning both to MIDI channel 3, to get a sforzando effect before the crescendo comes in. If you have room in your sampler, you could even load the Staccato articulation twice, on separate MIDI channels of course, so that one is being triggered with the crescendo notes and the other when you need regular staccato (no crescendo). The other method is used when you don't want to have the same MIDI channel for both articulations, and/or when you have two parts using different articulations simultaneously on the same instrument. In this case, I use track layers, each with its own MIDI channel(s). For example, you have a Horn playing a melodic line while the other Horns are playing a staccato part in the background. With the use of track layers you can easily separate the two distinct parts in conjunction with the Mute button ("Q") as well as the option to hide muted clips in PRV. This way you only see the part you want to work with at a time without having a mess of notes, which would make editing their MIDI channel a nightmare. "

But you don't have to mess with midi channels in VI Pro.Vienna Instruments Pro is the most powerfull tool for articulations, and you can have layered articulations just as you wish (i think). Just click on the Advanced View tab and you'll see 8 different slot where you can load your patches and even mix it, tweak the attack or change others settings independently.
