I have a Midi Solutions Event Processor to change the MSB to whatever an external instrument uses. (see link below)
eg; I have a Analog plug-in card in my Yamaha MU128. Those voices use MSB 036 LSB 001, I so use the Event Process to remap the
MSB 063 to MSB 036 and assigned the Voices in YEM
LSB 001.
You can create a dummy expansion Voice pack by simply writing in the names of the Kontakt Voices.
At the top of the YEM screen you will see
My PacksClick on the
+ icon and choose the option: Create New Pack (Pack 001 will appear)
Below at the heading of
Pack 001 click on the
+ icon and choose Create Normal Voice, Do this for up 128 Voices.
You can give each Voice a Kontakt Voice name. (there is an option somewhere to change the Program Change Number as well to match the Kontakt PC #.
When you are done, change the
LSB to whatever is used by Kontakt.
At this point is important to Save or Export the dummy pack as a .ppf so you don't loose itYou will need the Event Processor to remap the MSB 063 to the Kontakt MSB #.
You can download the software for the Event Processor to see how it works.

Creating a dummy expansion pack for my Analog Voices allows me to select the AN Voices right from my S970 as an expansion pack (MIDI out must be connected to MIDI In of my MU128) in your case the MIDI Out on your keyboard must be connected to MIDI In on your computer.
For the Motif sound module, I created 3 dummy packs for the 3 banks of User Voices which use the MSB 063. I just had to assign the LSB to match the ones used by the Motif.
It will be easy for you to select Kontakt Voices as an expansion pack installed in your keyboard. It's a little work but once it is done, it's such a dream to be able to select Voices.
You will need to create a custom MIDI Template to use with your dummy Kontakt expansion pack.
Here's the settings:
System Tab: R1 Local Off
Transmit Tab: check mark - Note, CC, PC, PB (AT if you have a Tyros or Genos)
Receive Tab: check mark - Note, CC, PB, AT
Bass Tab: No edits
Chord Detect: No edits
Name the MIDI Template something like:
R1 Play KontaktAll this work will be worth it when you can select Kontakt Voices just like you select keyboard Voices or expansion pack Voices.
