Setting up the multichannel output for Kontakt in Reaper is not the easiest thing in the world. I set it up a few times and it’s not fun. The last time I got it set up perfectly I saved it as a track template and now I can instantly open Kontakt and all the extra tracks with everything routed and named properly. This saves a ton of time!
Because it’s such a pain I’ve decided to share my template with you.
Installation instructions:
- Download file: Steven Slate Drums Track Template
- Open Reaper, go to the options menu and select “Show REAPER resource path in explorer/finder…”
- Navigate to the “Track Templates folder”
- Move the file into this folder. Close explorer/finder
- Back in Reaper, go to the “Track” menu, select “Insert Track From Template”>Steven Slate Drums Multi-Out
- Note- Whenever you load a new kit, you need to push the “Reset Out Map” in the Kontakt mixer section.

Thanks for this, it’s a great help. I came to Reaper from Cubase, and reaper is still a tiny smidge behind in midi. Only enough to make a few things take longer though.
Wow, 7 years later, I’m setting up Konkrete which uses Native Instruments and what a shit show. I had to go through Kontakt hit the “+” to create ST1 ST2 ST3 ST4. Master on ST1, Aux 1,2,3 on ST2,3,4. Then on Reaper instrument channel it was by default 1/2, then I sent 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8. I need to post this, it was about 4 hours of guesswork.
