8/16/64 indicates the number of supported audio outputs of the plugin (the 64 out is the default version).
If you're interested in more details about this, check out this article: http://blog.ultimateoutsider.com/201...ing-three.html

So, I can; a)pull the Kontack player into Reaper, b)select a Library/instrument, c)play the Kontakt virtual keyboard and get both the sound through my monitor speakers, and also see the signal in a new track (with some possible latency??).
OK. great.

However, I still cannot produce the Kontkt instrument sound, nor see a signal from my midi keyboard (only the keyboard sound through the keyboard speakers).
but we're getting closer . .
OK. See below.

- What's the model name of the MIDI keyboard you're using?
Casiotone CT-460 (very old)

- Did you enable the MIDI keyboard as MIDI Input under Preferences > Audio > MIDI Device?
The only choice was my preamp - Focusrite USB MIDI
I'm assuming the CT-460 is connected via MIDI cable to the Focusrite: in this case, enable the Focusrite as MIDI Input in the preferences.

And make sure that the Chord/MIDI selector on the CT-460 is set to MIDI in order to use the MIDI function on the keyboard.
