How do you setup the Ableton Drum Rack and integrate Kong in it?
I dropped the RRP on the Drumrack and it comes up as only a single pads sound.

If you want a mixer track per drum pad like Ableton Drum Rack flip the Kong and instead of using the main stereo audio out of the RRP use a stereo out for each Kong channel. Set up audio tracks in Ableton for each channel you output set to 'In' and to receive its own audio channel from the RRP.
These seem like very similar devices to me though, not sure why you'd want to integrate the two.

Drum Racks typically can only play one pad of the device at a time.electrofux wrote: ↑31 Jan 2021How do you setup the Ableton Drum Rack and integrate Kong in it?

There is a hack which allows you to only put one device in the Drum Rack and use the midi I/O to have each pad trigger each individual Kong Pad. This probably loses some of your effect capability though for each pad, but it might be possible to utilize the Kong Drum individual outs to overcome this.
Another idea would be just to use an instrument Rack or use an individual instance of Reason for each Drum Rack pad.
Whatever you do, you are probably best saving it as a template to keep from having to set it up again.

So it turns out I can route channels from Redrum into their own audio outputs from the RRP to Ableton audio channels but its not working with Kong. Kong only wants to work from the default stereo pair out of the RRP.
Pretty sure I'd already done this and it worked, but perhaps it was Redrum I'd used before. Either Ive missed something or this is a bug.

Oh I dont think its a bug, you have to do that audio routing per pad thing you need to do in Reason when you want to break out the Kong channels.
So I missed a step.
