Need help: Kontakt's Multi-Channel setup in Logic Pro with Art Conductor & MetaGrid Pro

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know if it's possible to get Art Conductor and MetaGrid Pro running with Multi-timbral instruments by loading up several instruments in one Kontakt instance in Logic (version 10.7.9)? As far as I tried (with Spitfire instruments) MetaGrid and Art Conductor wouldn’t react/influence the libraries when organising them as multi-channels (in order to save CPU in a big template). The Babylonwaves support told me to write here... Has anyone experienced the same kind of struggle?

As far as I understand my MIDI channels all are set up correctly. I've attached two screenshots (timeline & mixer).

Basically everything works fine when single patches are loaded into single stereo Kontakt instances (usually version 6) for each instrument. But when I use the Multi-Output (16xStereo) version with separate AUX-tracks for each instrument, MetaGrid is acting weird and Art Conductor articulation changes are basically not reacting at all. The issues are:
- the response on MetaGrid when switching tracks in Logic is a bit delayed (iPad is connected via cable)
- no response in Kontakt when changing articulations in MetaGrid (iPad) or the Articulation set (Art Conductor) within a Region in Logic

This all happens only within the Multi-Channel setup...

I'm not sure if there is any advanced setting for that case in MetaGrid or Art Conductor?
Or did I miss something else / any another MIDI routing option in Logic? I though I knew how to set up multi-timbral patches and distribute them on several aux channels... No idea what's going wrong 🤯

I’m I messing up something? Can anyone help? 🙏🏻

Big thanks in advance!
Owen

Yes it’s possible, you have to name the tracks a very specific way though. There is a faq item about it on the plug search site. Sorry, not at the system to look it up. But yes there is a way!
