Is there a Key Command to load a Rack Instrument?

You should use the rack . If you add a new instrument every time you are using way too many rescourses . If for instance you want to add 5 different instruments in kontakt. you only need to have one instance of Kontact in the rack . If you have 5 separate instances of kontact open thats just silly . Of course if you are only going to have one instance of a certain plug in used in a track then of course use the track but , its rare i ever do that i use mainly kontact and omnisphere/keyscape/trilian . I can do all that with just 2 instruments in the rack .

While this intuitively sounds like it should be true, the reality is a lot more complicated. In most cases using Instruments instead of Racks consumes only a modest amount more resources (and many of us feel those are resources well spent for the increased ease of use & reduced complexity - remember having unused cpu & memory doesn’t buy you anything). The number and complexity of the Instruments used inside Kontact are what primarily drives resource consumption, not the number of instances of Kontact.

This has been discussed several times in-depth on the forums, such as:

Should I create template using Track or Rack Instruments?

Rack instruments Vs. Instrument tracks

Jono, sorry about going OT. I know you are well versed in the nuances between Tracks & Racks.
