Incomplete instruments

When I try to load an instrument only a few are showing and it's all bells and crotales.
See screen shot.

Also, When I load two instruments or a multi I can only get the first one to play.
How do I switch between instruments?
If I load a multi, only the snare sounds play and when I switch to  tenors for ex.
nothing sounds, but the keyboard shows when i press the keys down and they
all stick in the down position.
SOLVED.
Solution?
haha, yeah sorry.
A bit embarrassing actually��_.. Apparently you have to double click a tiny little arrow icon
and that exposes the rest of the samples. I knew that the samples were on my hard drive so I was just looking and trying to click on everything in the kontakt window��_. stumbled upon it basically. This is my first time using VDL and Kontakt��_. It is odd to me that the default readout was crotales and glock��_ I double clicked on the top most line with the arrow next to it and bam��_. the rest of the samples showed up. Why wouldn't the default be to show all of the samples? dunno��_
I worked around the other problem by opening a separate instance of Kontakt player for each instrument.
The problem is I have ten players open on my desktop just to work on one ensemble arrangement.
I don't know how to use one kontakt player window to load my full ensemble and route all of the instruments to their corresponding tracks in Logic 9. Can you point me in the right direction? I don't even know how to phrase the question in a search engine for the forum or the user manual.
Thanks for responding,
Joe

Yeah, that's just the navigation for the instrument list (patch files). I dunno either - course I use VDL in Sibelius so I very rarely open Kontakt Player anyways.

Try ";tracks";, or ";channels";. I'd start with the Logic docs first. (Not a Logic user here, sorry.)
