I have customized the channel names to match the instrument names. The Output list shows the channel name and plugin output number for each of Kontakt's current channels. Each instument has been assigned to its own output channel, and each output channel is named after the instrument routed to it. Here we have a Kontakt multi rack with four instruments loaded into it. First, let's get some terminology and concepts out of the way, since the way outputs work when Kontakt is running as a plugin can get a little complicated. You will see similar results in Kontakt 4, although actual RAM and CPU values may be different. Here we'll look at the visible, measurable differences between each VST plugin file in Kontakt 5. (Note: This can be a complex topic, which I hope to talk more about in a future post.) Each plugin flavor can have its own default output setup.Your DAW sees each plugin flavor as a different "product." You can have instances of all three VST plugins in the same DAW project, and they will all have their own settings.In fact the regular "Kontakt 5" plugin offers more outputs than both of the other two combined! The 8out and 16out plugins are not the only "multi-output" ones. All three VST plugins are capable of delivering audio on separate output channels.There are no other functional differences. The three VST plugins are identical, except in the number of output channels they make available to your DAW, and their factory default output configurations.In the rest of the post we'll look at the specific differences between each of the three versions of VST plugin included with Kontakt, but here are some things to remember: To give VST users similar flexibility when working on very resource-intensive projects or on older computers with limited CPU and RAM, Native Instruments provides three slightly different VST plugin files.
Other plugin formats give your DAW a little more control over how many plugin channels to enable. Even though your DAW might never use all the channels the plugin advertises, the plugin still makes them available, and each of these available outputs consumes a small amount of RAM and CPU resources- whether it's used or not. When a VST plugin loads in your DAW it has to tell the DAW how many audio outputs the plugin supports. Of the many forms that Kontakt takes (standalone, AU, VST, AAX- and formerly RTAS), only the VST format offers multiple plugin flavors.
