Why Your Kontakt Instruments Need Pro MIDI Routing NOW

🎬 Welcome back to How do you DAW! This episode is part of our third summer of diving deep into workflow techniques in digital audio workstations (DAWs). Unlike many music production channels focused on sound design and mixing, this channel is all about the technical side — from MIDI and audio routing to managing complex plugin setups.

In this video, I answer a subscriber’s question about controlling multiple instruments within a single Kontakt instance. Using Ableton Live, I walk you through how to:

☑ Set up MIDI routing for Kontakt multi-instruments
☑ Route audio outputs to different tracks
☑ Use MIDI CC controls like expression, dynamics, and reverb
☑ Automate parameters within separate tracks

00:00 Intro, what is this video about
03:37 Setting up instruments in Kontakt with MIDI and Audio routing
05:47 Setting up your DAW to route midi and audio (Ableton Example)
07:45 How to send MIDI into Kontakt multi instrument setup
13:24 Setting Up the MIDI controller for the second track
16:28 Wrap up

Extend this workflow to other DAWs like Logic Pro, Studio One, Cubase, Pro Tools, and more

This approach not only saves CPU and RAM but also improves how you organize orchestral templates or large multi-instrument projects.
