Hi guys,
what do you think is the better and most efficient way to use instruments inside kontakt, for example running 10 instruments inside one kontakt instance ( with assigned midi channels ) or running 10 instances of kontakt , each loaded with a single instrument ? Which kind of setup do you think Cubase 8 "favours" the most ?
Thanks !

Re: kontakt instruments usage
using one instance of Kontakt for single instrument.... better multi CPU usage....

one dll per channel works the best on modern systems, and give you an entire channel to work with for that instrument.

Re: kontakt instruments usage
Thanks Roel ! I always thought that so many instances of kontakt use up a lot of memory , but i guess it turns out one empty contact uses a very small amount of ram...

Re: kontakt instruments usage
I tend to use instrument tracks these days with one Kontact instance per track - this is because each track gets its own thread and this works well with my 8 core system.gabriel_brosteanu wrote:Hi guys,

Re: kontakt instruments usage
Hi... Can you explain how to make Kontakt and Instrument Track ; as opposed to a Rack Instrument? I would love to be able to do that but I don't know how.

Re: kontakt instruments usage
On the large Instrument rack there are 2 vague arrows where you can choose between a rack or instrument track.
Steinberg loves to hide things like that away LOL and at this point I wish they would just clean up the instrument track vs rack instrument business. It's not very intuitive.

Re: kontakt instruments usage
I never considered these two arrows to be hidden, just a tad small perhaps, though.
