I can't think of a way to effectively do this.
You can launch a single instance of Kontakt on a single receptor channel, and you can load it up with multiple (Kontakt) instruments - each piped to the same audio output. The problem is that on a single Receptor channel, you can only get one Midi channel for all of those Kontakt instruments.
If you load a single instance of Kontakt with multi-outs in Receptor, you use up multiple Receptor channels for individual Kontakt instruments (on separate audio and MIDI channels).
Hope this helps, Regards,

This is not related to Receptor, but it is related to Kontakt and multiple channels...
The only software that I know of that allows this is System Link in Cubase. You can have multiple virtual cables that have 16 midi channels each. You can assign a cable to each VST instrument, allowing you to dedicate all 16 channels on that cable to one instrument if you wish (but you can also share).
So, two computers running Cubase (or one running Cubase, and the other running V-Stack) would do this. You also get sample accurate timing. I recently did this as an experiment from my Windows DAW to an old Apple G4, and it worked as advertised. The midi tracks were definitely 'tighter' in timing than if I just triggered everything through regular midi.
Ok, it's off topic now, but maybe it is interesting to someone!
