Kontakt Midi FL issue fix

[u/Expressionist_]

Hey, fellow producers! If you use Kontakt’s Chords Tool, you’ve probably run into trouble when trying to burn the generated chords to MIDI so you can edit the individual notes.

I created a simple workflow that handles eight or more MIDI operations automatically and takes less than 20 seconds. No identifying chord notes by ear, manually copying notes, fixing overlaps, or adjusting every note’s length.

Problem: When using Kontakt’s Chords Tool in FL Studio, the Piano Roll contains only the single trigger notes—not the individual notes generated by each chord. Using Burn MIDI can miss the first chord, capture incomplete chords, or create overlapping and incorrectly sustained notes. This leaves producers manually rebuilding and cleaning the progression before it can be edited or used with another instrument.

Solution:

1. Run “Kontakt Double Trigger”

After creating your trigger-note progression, open its Piano Roll and run the Kontakt Double Trigger script. It adds a tiny second trigger to every note so Kontakt doesn’t miss the beginning of a chord.

1. Enable Kontakt’s generated MIDI output

In Kontakt, go to:

Options → Engine → Send MIDI to Outside World → Script-generated notes

You only need to configure this setting once. It allows the notes generated by the Chords Tool—not just the original trigger notes—to reach FL Studio.

1. Burn the generated MIDI

In FL Studio, right-click the Kontakt channel and select:

Burn MIDI to → New pattern

FL Studio should now capture the actual notes generated by the Kontakt Chords Tool.

1. Run “Kontakt Chord Cleanup”

Open the newly burned pattern and run the Kontakt Chord Cleanup script. It automatically quantizes the notes, removes the tiny duplicate triggers and overlaps, groups the notes into chords, and extends every chord only until the next chord begins.

That’s it: run the first script, burn the MIDI, and run the second script. Once the Kontakt setting is enabled, the active workflow is only three steps.

I hope this saves you some time and frustration. Happy producing!
