This video is a GODSEND. I was able to set up complete libraries for my two horn sample packs and now I never have to do that again. Bless you Mike, you are my hero!

[@toddwmac]

Thank you Mike. I've been using Studio One since V2 and In my humble and fairly well informed opinion you have one of the most helpful Studio One content out there. You knowledge and style, combined with tight editing creates an extremely effective delivery. I'm not a trained musician and do not work with these tools every day, however I've spent thousands of hours over the last decade loving S! and I still find your videos helpful and enjoyable. This video in particular is a great example of your content. I have a love hate relationship with NI. I have some of their hardware and software and I find their UX archaic and frustrating compared to something like S1 or Arturia (my judgment, I'll own it). I absolutely love their sounds (which is why I have so many of their instruments) but not their interfaces (which is why I don't use them to the degree I could). Your walkthrough of the Kontakt setup in S1 opened up a whole new way of seeing (and appreciating) that suite of software. In my case, and aside from the antiquated NI UI that you helped demystify, the decoupled routing and naming conventions were a black box that I never took the time to explore. In 20 minutes your video kept me interested helped make thousands of $s worth of instruments more usable. As a software guy, I particular liked your "behind the scenes" context. Your show easy, show hard, show easy again approach is very effective. I'm really grateful for your channel and wish you the best of luck.

[@brunorodrigues7894]

Omg man, this channel is amazing! I'm starting from scratch to use DAWs (and more specifically Studio One), and it's been absolutely helpful! All the attention to the details and the didactic... Congrats man, and also thank you! 👏🏻

[@italostyle8816]

This has been one of the most informative tutorials for using kontakt in studio one that I have ever seen, you've explained things so thoroughly and made it more user friendly. I'm way less confused after watching this. I've just subscribed to your channel, and look forward to learning more with your videos. Thank you

[@bobbyt9999]

You're the man, Mike!!! I am a Studio One user as of last week and I know that this channel will be my go to in order to help me along with the learning curve. I'm also a Kontakt 7 user and so this video is invaluable to me. Thanks again for posting these videos!!!

[@thirstyrosestudio8288]

Thanks Mike. Your tutorials are very informative and equally entertaining. This DAW is AMAZING, but without the help you provide to navigate it, it wouldn't be as useful to me.😊

[@elusive1970]

Excellent tutorial! Very thorough , could have saved me tons of time when I was first learning. I still picked up stuff watching this. Thank you!

[@mikekohlgraf4737]

This is absolutely brilliant. As a new user of Studio One AND new to Native Instruments, this is extremely well put together where anyone can get a grasp on how to work with Kontakt in Studio One. Thanks so much, Mike! Got your channel bookmarked

[@kadiummusic]

Reluctantly just joined the Kontact club so videos like this are hugely helpful to me. 😎

[@christopherfrank6309]

[@mimojapan]

Thank you! That library view in Kontakt7 had me quite confused for a while but now it's all crystal clear.

[@studioonerevealed]

:)

[@27Pascal56]

Tremendously clear and brilliant: thank you so much!!!

[@ChristopherJGould]

Thank you so much. As always, a very clear and concise explanation - super useful. I would love to see a follow-up dealing with how to link keyboard controls to the functions in Kontackt - Studio One works great with most VST's but not with Kontakt (for me anyhow!). Keep up the great work - this channel is pure gold.

[@user-jx9ct2wt3z]

You are an amazing teacher!!! In my opinion the very best!!! Thank you a million.

[@roknrexstudio]

Thanks for this excellent tutorial for using Kontakt in Studio One. Very we produced and easy to follow with no a superfluous BS!

[@duophon17]

@Studio One Revealed Thanks for the insightful explanation. Your product knowledge is admirable! Stay tuned!

[@kwameryan]

Mike: Just want to say, I’m overjoyed to see this new channel! I subbed to your Cakewalk channel, but I’m getting into midi big and have been auditioning new DAWs. After Cubase crushed me (lol), I just started looking at Studio 1 and I think I’m already falling in love with it’s clarity. I wanted to watch a video to go deeper into its midi setup and found your new channel! Having you for a guide through Studio 1 has pretty much sealed the deal for me. Instant sub! Good luck with the channel. (and yes, I’m well thank you) 😊

[@777Omwana]

Boss you have up on Cubase?! Have you seen the Cubase channel?! You can submit even questions about Cubase and they answer then live on KZbin.

[@magneticlights6311]

awesome thx ❤

[@michelpaullebrun3275]

Very much like your style of teaching...

[@studioonerevealed]

Than you, that's appreciated :)

[@michelpaullebrun3275]

It nice to get educated in music making when the teacher is concise to the point; would out rambling on all the time. My self at 67 years young everything has to be slow with lots of time to absorb. Very good style sir…thank-you.

[@BenZeebar]

Excellent expanation. Much appreciated.

[@studioonerevealed]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching Ben!

[@kidsplaymusic]

you teach so well so informative... and i have learned so many things from your teaching... thanks

[@robertmanigault625]

I have been using Konstantinos for years and have always added multiple plugins. Thank you for teaching me this technique. Just subscribed. Thank you, Sir.

[@JonSkelton]

Thank you for this. I've used Presonus Sphere Studio One for several years now; and I write thematic/film score music using similar libraries. I just downloaded Kontakt 7; and your video popped up for related content.

[@DavidMaclin351]

Man I just upgraded to Komplete 14 Ultimate. I really like the Studio one workflow better than Cakewalk ❤

[@BionicSoundlab]

nice way of breakdown and make people understand plain simple

[@eaglepass5170]

Excellent!!! Thank you!!!

[@studioonerevealed]

My pleasure!

[@dresstokill4992]

Wow. Thanks Mike. I'm fairly new to this. You've explained things really well. I had about 8 Kontakts in my project. Any wonder it chewed up performance

[@dreamscapedg2774]

Masterful.

[@yakim1]

This was an incredible video! And your voice is so calm. Thank you! Do you have any tutorial for automations with Kontakt? - I struggle to use Studio One approaches with Kontakt (especially with Orchestral libraries which have many parameters)

[@AlOne-xg6dv]

Very complete explainations, thanks. Not a fluid integration between Kontakt and Studio One, the output labels inside Studio One do not reflect the updated outputs inside Kontakt. But it works and you helped to understand the secrets of this.

[@studioonerevealed]

True. Some other plugins manage this - sadly not Kontakt :)

[@wotzefak1983]

you missed one important thing at the end of "assigning outputs"... you are klicking the instrument track but the correct (2nd or 3rd) mixer-track is not selected with it... it can be solved within track-information > Routing .... if you can't see it, rightclick the (i) for trackinfo and customize the view - check "routing" box. There you can assign the correct mixer-track to the instrument track.... :D

[@chaddonal4331]

Where?

[@lovestreaming]

Very helpful and inspiring tutorial, thanks 😊 The Factory function in Kontakt 7 is awesome! However, there is one thing I can't seem to figure out and something I have not seen in earlier versions of Studio One and Kontakt. It's rather simple, but a bit difficult to explain in writing 😊: after creating several instrument tracks, assigning them to each channel in Kontakt 7 and activating the channels in Studio One, the control part of all instrument tracks are assigned to the first output channel of Kontakt 7. This means that when I adjust a controller on any of the tracks in the track view - for instance the volumen fader, all volume faders on all tracks assigned to Kontakt 7 will move correspondingly and in the mixer in Studio One, only the first channel is affected by the control movement. In other words, if I want to lower the volume in track 2, which is assigned to output 3/4 in Kontakt, I have to do it in the mixer in Studio One on the output channel, that is assigned to channel 3/4. It is not possible for me to do it directly on the instrument track in the track view. Am I missing something very obvious?

[@lovestreaming]

Solved! The instrument Track Routing is hidden by default in Studio One 6. When I unhide it, I'm able to change channel for each instrument track in the Inspector, just like before 😊

[@chaddonal4331]

@@lovestreaming Where is this selected/changed?

[@lovestreaming]

@@chaddonal4331 In the toolbar on top or at the bottom, right click and choose Inspector. In the Track section, you can check/uncheck Channel.

[@denis-bouteau]

hello, just a clarification on the configuration in kontakt in order to automatically assign a free midi channel. I searched a lot to implement it as in the video without having to do it by hand. you have to go to the "parameters" toothed wheel then in the "handling" tab and in midi channel assignment for load patch you have to choose "Assign first free". and it works. Thank you for this new video MIKE. Denis a french user who followed from Cakewalk to Studio one Artist.

[@hodshonf]

Excellent video Here's another great tip : pack your tracks into a 'folder' 'Add bus channel' from that track folder select 'Link expansion and visibility of folder tracks' this way the tracks and channels expand and contract with the Bus folders

[@lousyracuse]

Hey Mike, really digging this new channel! I had never considered putting multiple instruments into a single instance of Kontakt, although I knew it was possible. What are the advantages/disadvantages to doing so? Memory usage? Processor usage? Is there there a situation where it is more advantageous to use a single instance? Or is it mostly up to personal choice? Thanks, Lou

[@TheTightEndz]

You a life saver, Sir" am a big fan of Studio One and NI I hope Presonus company watch this video and update or make a studio one 7 were it's automatic make and separate mini channels in Kontakt without so many steps to go thru.

[@patrickgoethals3235]

HA nice THX 4 the vid

[@tuttrupmusic]

Wow! Great video. I am considering buying Native Instruments plugins. I was wondering how to integrate them into Studio One. Though I have much to learn, your video greatly jumpstarted my understanding.

[@user-np4hw4vn1j]

Just got my first Kontakt plugin. They should rebrand as Komplikated. 🤔 I'll get used to it. The video is super-helpful though, much appreciated.

[@Angus_Macgregor]

Thanks Mike. I would never have worked this out by myself. Oddly enough, I can't get it to work in S1 6 (I can only get a maximum of two instruments) but it works fine in S1 5. It might be as simple as just doing a reboot as I've only just installed ver 6. Can I also just add that I'm always very impressed at how you manage to record the audio for these tutorials without (seemingly) doing any editing / correcting; you just talk your way through it without any pauses or fumbles! And thankfully you don't do any of these sudden cuts and zooms in the video that make me feel like the presenter is trying to headbutt me! 🙂 Once again, a tutorial on drums with seperate outputs for each would be great. Thanks again.

[@studioonerevealed]

Thanks Angus. That is really odd, only being able to add 2 instruments. Let me know how you go. I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Sometimes getting through without mumbles and fumbles takes a few tries!

[@justbob9006]

Great video. Easy to understand and follow. Im assuming this saves CPU. Its not merging several instruments to record at the same time on 1 track but rather, the idea is 1 track and sub tracks to record seperately?

[@johne1083]

Thank you so much for this. I was wondering since I had a couple issues with Play or Opus creating multiple outputs in one instance is there somewhere someone can point me where I can learn that? As far as Kontakt, your instructions work flawlessly. Thanks Again.

[@MindsEyeVisualGuitarMethods]

Thanks for this...this should save on processor use vs. opening multiple kontakt instances yes? Also, are there any advantages to using komplete control?

[@christopherfrank6309]

Very great video. If you don't mind, please, also make a video on how to use Ujam vsts in Studio One 6.

[@studioonerevealed]

I'll add that to the list thanks!

[@miragemike]

Thanks Mike. What do you do when you need to add an insert(s) to one or more of the Kontakt channels and then you what to rendered them?

[@musiccreation1198]

Well done Mike!! Ty. Curious, is there a way to create a "Track Preset" for multi instrument / single Kontakt instances?

[@Cnc1073]

What camera are you using, it looks amazing

[@georgemateos]

Thanks for this tutorial Sir, this means your pc will not overworked due to many instruments?

[@dougfant6490]

Awesome video! Where can I get the instruments you used in the video?

[@qtubin]

Love the information. Question. When raising volume in the track view all the kontakt instrument go up as one. Channel view they are separated but in track view I slide volume up or down in one they are all tied together. Super annoying and do you have a fix? Thanks.

[@MichaelFoxMFX]

When doing this how do you record each instrument? Only the first you can record but not the rest? Thanks

[@tomberry2913]

Thanks for this great video! I am new to this and it was really helpful. One question though. What are the aux outputs (1-4) in Kontact used for? They just keep getting bumped down the line as you add new outputs, but are never actually used.

[@chaddonal4331]

This seems to be a silly Kontakt issue, finally solved in Kontakt 7. It might be worth upgrading just for the logical consistency now! (Presumably, Auxes would be used within Kontakt as Auxes -- routing internal effects. But assigning Auxes as outputs which then move over and create actual outputs, while in S1 still being called Auxes... Ahhhh! So messy! Kontakt 7 moves beyond the madness, finally.)

[@skeller61]

Hi Mike, thanks for this lucid explanation. I roughly knew some of this, but would struggle each time I could get the meters to work, with no sound being produced. This is the most helpful video I’ve seen in the year and a half since I decided to learn how to create and produce music. I follow your Creative Sauce channel, as well; however the videos that you’ve made in this new channel are helping me a lot more (due in part to me using both SO and Kontakt and upgrading both recently). If I may make a request, it would be very helpful understanding the relationship between Kontakt and Komplete, especially when loading in multiple Kontakt instruments into SO. The main reason for this request is that the lights on Komplete Kontrol keyboards only light up the keyboard to match the colored Kontakt keyboard when Kontakt is loaded as an instrument within Komplete. Having key switches highlighted on the keyboard is very helpful to me, and is one of the reasons I opted for a KK keyboard. I suppose I could simply load Komplete and open Kontakt, get the performance down, then drag the midi onto the same Kontakt instrument in SO. It seems like there would be a way to cut out the intermediate step, but I haven’t found it. I wish I could give you multiple thumbs up for this one! Thanks!!!

[@studioonerevealed]

Thank you, and a great suggestion. I agree, the lights are very helpful - especially for keyswitches. I tend to load instruments via Komplete when I do this TBH.

[@chaddonal4331]

My understanding is that Komplete Kontrol is mono-timbral. So, by loading Kontakt within KK, you gain lights and knobs, but lose multi-timbrality. So, this means you can use it for 1 Kontakt instrument at a time. But if you want to load multiple instruments into Kontakt (as the 2nd half of this video is demonstrating), that needs to be done directly through Kontakt, not within the KK wrapper.

[@daniellesaux6152]

Another great video Mike! I had been using the multiple instances of Kontakt strategy due to its simplicity. Is there really a measurable CPU gain using one instance versus multiple instances?

[@studioonerevealed]

Its actually not clear cut, since it's kind of dependant on which libraries. Personally I do it coz I like the way it's organised. But for projects with less than about 8 libraries, I usually don't bother.

[@geoffmichelle1161]

Hi Mike, thank you for what you do. I learnt a lot from this video however there is one thing that I’m stuck on. I have downloaded all the Presonus Symphony Orchestra instrument files onto my SSD and can access them through Notion however how do I get them into Kontakt? I can only see the Kontakt sounds and instruments and some other 3rd party ones but don’t know how to get Kontakt to see specific files. Hope you can help. Cheers, Geoff

[@mercman159]

Hi I had a template in studio one for my studio drummer with each drum having its own channel but since the update that disappeared and I'm having trouble doing it again can you do a short video how to in the new Kontact 7 please

[@timcox6796]

Is it possible to color the channels in Kontackt and /or can they follow the colors in studio one?

[@briandavidgregory]

Mike, great video, and I'm loving the new channel! Question: What exactly is the benefit of using a single instance of Kontakt vs. separate copies? I haven't seen anyone nail this down besides the general idea that multiple copies cost more CPU. Do they really? Is there some other benefit? Thanks and rock on with the videos!

[@AlOne-xg6dv]

interesting question. The answer is some lines down.

[@abj358]

This is great? Really like and enjoy your style of instruction. I learned another way to do this in Kontakt 6 from Marcus. Looks like I'll need to upgrade. QUESTION: Can you do this with Impact XT? I know I can setup multi-outs (channels) from a single instance of Impact as well as setting up multiple tracks and assign each pad to the associated channels/tracks. But I don't seem to be able to record different pads on their associated tracks without having the other pads record on the same selected track. In effect, if I am setup this way and record arm two tracks (pads) for, let's say, kik (track 1) and snare (track 2) and try to record them simultaneously, I get both pads on both tracks. I'm aware of "Explode Pitches to Tracks," but I don't like it's workflow. Would prefer to set up a template with all the pads broken out and assigned to associated outputs "and tracks". Can Impact XT work this way? If so, what am I missing?

[@JonSkelton]

Can you help me to understand why you would do this? I have always just added multiple Kontakt instruments and have never bundled them together. Each trumpet has its own kontakt channel and instrument. Does this method save memory or loading times?

[@lb2696]

I’m trying to switch to S1 from Pro Tools and it’s interesting because some things are much easier in S1 and smarter and then some stuff seems really weirdly designed to me in S1, after 20 years of pro tools.

[@andrewnorman6193]

Do you have to use the NI Kontakt keyboard to use this function?

[@kisspoisonkisspoison]

Hi, Mike! How can I record in real time, changing the presets of a synth in a midi clip? Is there any way?
