To be able to hear its sound, we need to connect its output to two inputs of the audio interface. ![]() Kontakt 5 Player creates a stereo audio signal, so there are two blue pins on the bottom. If you connect the outputs of multiple plugins to the input of another plugin, the signals will be mixed automatically. Pins at the top provide input to the plugin, while pins at the bottom send output from the plugin. Orange pins are for MIDI signals and blue pins are for audio signals. These pins are used to make connections-both MIDI and audio - to other plugin blocks. Every plugin block has several pins both above and below it. Accordingly, right-click on the green block and select the Caption. (Effects processing plugins, as we will see in the next tutorial, appear as blue blocks.)

The red block at the top represents the input of your audio interface, typically from microphones, instruments connected via DI (such as electric guitars), and line-level sources. The orange block at top left represents the MIDI input to your system, typically from a MIDI keyboard or other MIDI controller. NOTE : Your screen may look slightly different from the one shown above, since the audio input and output blocks will reflect the name of your connected audio interface as well as the number of inputs and outputs it provides. This screen allows you to insert plugins and connect them to other plugins any way you like.
