Mapping Native Instruments Controls in Mainstage

I have been trying for two days now to map controls on Kontakt 4 instruments (electric pianos) to Mainstage. I have no problems with the Logic instruments mapping my Keystation Pro 88 dials and faders to whatever software controls I want. However, when I switch to Kontakt instruments I am unable to set up any kind of mapping (other than mapping my faders to the organ drawbars - which works perfectly).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul

Thanks CCTM,

What I have done is right-clicked on the Kontakt control and chosen "Learn MIDI CC# Automation", but I am unable to map it to anything in the Mainstage window. On Mainstage I turn on "Map Parameter" just as I do for other instruments.

However, I have no problem mapping the faders on the Keystation to the faders in the organ patches in Kontakt.

Is enabling Host Automation a function on each individual library in Kontakt. If so, I'm not sure where it is.

Hi

Have you enabled either Host Automation or MIDI Learn for the controls you need in Kontakt?
