How did he get to trigger directly into Kontakt?? I own this Kurt Ballou Room Sound and I dont know how to trigger directly from the real snare (as an example) directly into Kontakt...

[@MrStolenPenguin]

He's using MIDI to trigger it it looks like. He has Kick MIDI at the top of the project

[@Slamadeus]

Yeah, he says earlier in the session he's recently switched to only triggering from midi.

[@djpiate]

He uses Massey DRT to convert to MIDI in Pro Tools www.masseyplugins.com/plugin/drt
