I have a Track that Playing on a Kontakt Sampler Plugin. All Fine. But if i copy/paste his notes on an other Empty Track (which have a different Channel naturally) the originalchannel stops playing. The FFT Track-Window Oscilloscope shows 0-line and Channel Audio sounds running out (playing last Note till stop) and only Target Channel is playing. If if mute Copied Track via Trackwindow click then the Sound starts playing in original Track back with the next note comming in.
I have Checked Kontakt Sampler and there i have 80 Voices. My original Track needs 24 Voices like Kontakt shows. So why the Doubled Track can not be played together with the original Track. Voices are more than enouph avaiable? I think maybe a Midi/Vst Interface Problem?
In the parameters of an instrument, in the plugin tab you can choose which track will receive the audio signal (audio routing), by default it’s current track selected. That explains why the sound comes from the track where you put the notes, BUT…
When using multiple tracks, the plugin puts all signal in the same stereo output, there’s no way for any host to cut this stereo signal between notes that provides from a track or another, so the sound comes from the currently used track. Depending on the plugin, when you stop completely and start on another track then the output might switch from one to another (but it’s not guaranteed)…
I would not recommend using a plugin on multiple tracks because it might be rather unpredictable…
Depending on what instrument inside Kontakt you’re using, each note might have stuff like round robins (RR), dynamic layers playing to quickly fade between, and attack/release/sustain samples, which all are counted in the voice count.
In regards to playing the same instrument twice… It might be easier and better for you just to duplicate the instrument.
First off, Kontakt can as default only route to one output per instrument, so loading it twice might be your only option for this.
If the instrument is able to fork, you can try the multi timbral method.
Repeat channel numbering to match the Kontakt output/MIDI channels [2]. That should in theory be enough to make one output going to two tracks, but I don’t have my rig atm to verify. I hope this helps!
You can force the plugin to route the sound per alias/instrument [3], but the default should be good.
