You should search a little. I have a post about this exact thing. It's not happening till 3.5.

Sorry for the question being vague, what I meant is when I have my kit loaded in SSD, i want each different drum on a different midi track, rather than all the drums as a whole on one track.
If you arent using multitrack, how are you using it?
and Adam, wanna help me set it up in Reapa?

So you want a kick midi file on it's own track, a snare midi file on it's own track, etc. all feeding the player? I don't understand why, but just create a new track for the VSTi and create sends from all the midi tracks you created to the VSTi track.
To create multichannel outputs from SSD in Reaper, easiest way is to add it as a VSTi from the "Insert" menu or whatever at the top, it will build the tracks for you.

I create one track with the VSTi loaded on it, add a MIDI event and do all my programming in the one MIDI track. Then I usually manually create tracks for Kick, Snare, Tom 1, Tom 2, Tom 3, Overheads, Hihat, Ride and Room. Then in the SSD player I make sure all those parts of the kit are routed to their own set of stereo outputs (like for kick go to the output configuration screen and create an output routed to Plugin Output #1 and Plugin Output #2). I usually delete all of the preconfigured outputs (st. 1, st. 2, surr 5.1 1, surr 5.1 2, etc.) because having outputs named after a surround setup seems dumb as hell to me, so I create all new outputs named after the drums that are routed to them.
You have use the 32 out Kontakt player to have enough pairs of outputs for all this stuff and make sure the VSTi track is set to a 32 channel multitrack in the Reaper I/O options.
So now say it's setup like this
Kick: plugin output 1 and 2
Snare: plugin output 3 and 4
Tom 1: plugin output 5 and 6
etc.
Now on the new tracks you created for each drum, create a send from the VSTi track that sends the right channels tot he new track. So kick would be 1/2 -> 1/2, snare would be 3/4 -> 1/2, Tom 1 would be 5/6 -> 1/2, etc. I route all the cymbals in the player to the one stereo output called overheads just to make it more like mixing a real kit.
I'm at work and don't have SSD installed here but setting up the room is a bit weirder I think, the SSD room by default is routed to Aux 1 and NRG is to Aux 2 or something and I can't remember how to change that off hand without it in front of me but hopefully this helps.

Yeah question is still vague.
What daw are you trying to use? Have you tried your question over at steven's forum? Have you called him? Have you bothered to read the manual.
I'm not even trying to be an asshole here, you just failed at providing pretty much any info.

+1 I'm still not sure what exactly you are trying to accomplish and the fact that you weren't sure how to add it as a VSTi to a track makes me think maybe you're going to have a hard time understanding what I was trying to type out
The manual is pretty good for this stuff, doesn't cover Reaper which I think you're using but my explanation should help with that.
