Default Problem with Kontakt 5 sound on Win 7 Reaper

Hi.
I've set Kontakt 5 instrument on Reaper track, but there is no sound. It shows bar, but there is no sound on speaker. Record monitoring is ON.

hmmm well it works here... so perhaps you can tell more about what you have going on or maybe upload a sample project to the reaper stash and give us a link ... so we can dbl check how you have things set up

also there seems to be something very strange with your project... when I try to load it, it wants to launch Kontakt both as standalone version and as a vsti inside reaper. I have no clue about why that is.

I've also been having some issues with Kontakt in the last week. I use it all the time and this was out of nowhere.

One time it happened it was my fault. I had the midi folder nested inside of a parent track that was muted and hidden in my track manager.

2 or 3 other times I would get nothing but the track showing that midi was in fact being played. I was trying the Kontakt factory library. I closed it out, opened retro machines and that was working. Closed Retro, opened Factory again and nothing.

Closed factory, reopened it and it worked that time.

I'm on Reaper V 4.6x.

Drag down the lower edge of the Track Control Panel (TCP) to see it; as on track 2 here:

But, when you said "It shows bar", which bar did you mean? In Kontakt or somewhere in Reaper?

What happens if you load a .wav sample into Reaper and press Play? Do you hear any sound?

OK, so Kontakt is outputting some audio.

But you cannot see any audio levels in the track meters?

Perhaps you could compress a simple problem project file (no audio samples needed) into a ZIP file and post it here as an attachment so we can have a look at it and see what's (not) happening?

Have a look at post #1 here: How to post attachments

And ...

No!
I see levels but there's no sound on speaker/headphones.
Also Kontakt requests activation again but there's no connection in the service center...
So there's some problem with Kontakt.

That's a step forward.

I think I recall that even an non-activated Kontakt would output audio to the DAW.

Perhaps you could compress a simple problem project file (no audio samples needed), uisng a Factory instrument in Kontakt, into a ZIP file and post it here as an attachment so we can have a look at it and see what's (not) happening?

For now Kontakt doesn't want to activate through the Service Center (connection error, even with retries). And in Reaper "The following effect plug-in could not be loaded").
Maybe I must reinstall Komplete 9?

I've reinstalled Komplete 9. But there's the same error in Service Center. "Service Center was unable to establish an internet connection. How do you wish to proceed?"

If you've got your computer hooked to the net then maybe it's your browser.

Something you could try would be the Offline method. It's been a while since I've done it that way and don't remember exactly what I did.

The info is there somewhere, maybe it's in the Service Center that's on your desktop or computer.

Here is the last version. Now no level, no sound.
Komplete 9 was reinstalled fully.

Remove Kontakt from your Track INPUT FX Chain.

Now it works! When it offers to add outputs, it writes that only 1/2 stereo outputs will be available. Now it has 12 outs, I have sound. Now I will look how to make all 16 MIDI channels available in Reaper.

Open each MIDI Clip in the MIDI Editor and change to [View] > Mode:Event List. There you will see which MIDI channel(s) the notes are on.

---------------------
It would help us help you if you could compress a simple problem project file, with the MIDI in it (no audio samples needed) into a ZIP file and post it here as an attachment so we can have a look at it and see what's (not) happening?

Thanks, I've found it also on synth.
Please help with the next thing: I want to record additional track (instrument) to the existing recording. And I want to hear it in realtime. So I hear the recording, play on synth in realtime and hear Kontakt instrument and the recording is going. How to do that?
