Paul, you are *not* supposed to "play" on the Aux objects. They're just routing elements, nothing else. So you only need them to mix your Kontakt signals separately, To use Kontakt in multitimbral mode, there's three solutions: 1) On your MIDI keyboard, select different transmit channels when playing. Channel 01 will play the Kontakt instrument set to channel 01 and so on. 2) If you don't want your keyboard to be responsible for that, use a transformer in the environment, cabled in front of the sequencer input. You could also use a bunch of them (one per MIDI channel) and switch between them using a cable switcher. 3) Copy your Kontakt audio instrument object (in the environment) and give it another name, so you can easily identify it in the arrange list. E.g., name the original "Bass Ch01" and the copy "Piano Ch02". Set the copied instrument to a channel according to what you want to play through in Kontakt. When done, just select the copied instruments in your arrange and you're good to go. Ok, for me, method 1) is the easiest, but as I usually don't want to fool around with MIDI channel switching, I normally go for 3). Of course, 3) results in additional mixer tracks, plus, in case you're using Logics track mixer, things will not look logical anymore at all (it seems to only show the latest copy, for whatever stupid reasons, showing just the original would make more sense). Now, when you're done with all that (using either method), assign Kontakts individual instruments to whatever outs and select them in your Aux objects. And yes, using multitimbral virtual instruments in Logic is still not that much fun. Regards Sascha
