First of all, some people have experienced a strange problem in Pro Tools LE 6.9 where they can see DFD activity, CPU activity, but no audio ouput is registered on the output meters in either KONTAKT 2/KOMPAKT or in Pro Tools. The fix for this is as follows:
In Pro Tools, under MIDI > Input Filter..., installation defaultes to
"record all except..." and then the checkboxes for Mono Aftertouch and
Polyphonic Aftertouch are checked. Changing this to "record all" will allow the WB MULTIs to output audio since WB data isn't being filtered out.
Next, if you want to run Symphonic Choirs in Pro Tools as an RTAS plugin and send Wordbuilder data to it, you must do the following:
Create 6 MIDI tracks. Create at least one AUX track (You can output more than just one stereo pair, see my other post). You will need some sort of MIDI LoopBack like Maple MIDI,
MIDIoverLAN (locPipe mode), etc.
This is the routing:
Keyboard > MIDI Track 1 > LoopBack 1 CH 1 > Wordbuilder > LoopBack 2 CH 1 - 5 > MIDI Tracks 2 through 6 > KONTAKT 2 / KOMPAKT (RTAS) on AUX Track.
MIDI Tracks 2 through 6 must have their outputs assigned to KONTAKT 2 / KOMPAKT channels 1 through 5 respectivley. In other words: MIDI Track 2 > SC CH1, MIDI Track 3 > SC CH2, etc.
You must enable record MIDI Tracks 1 - 6 to play the Choir. You can play the KONTAKT Multis this way also, you just need to add more MIDI Tracks to "capture" WBs output and foward it to SC CH 6 - 10.
WARNING: It is really easy to create a MIDI Feedback Loop if you are not careful. Configure it slowly and think about what you are doing, otherwise your system will freeze, or you will be looking at the Blue Screen of Death instead of making music.
