It seems that u canīt set the number of outputs with this new version of Kontakt... Am I right?
Cause Kontakt 2 installs 3 .dll files on vst folder: Kontakt2, KOntakt2_8out and Kontakt2_16out, wich are set to a number of outputs(32,8 and 16 in order).
But I want only 1 channell on Cubase mixer. And Cubase doesnīt support "remove tracks" after loading any of the .dll...

You can hide channels in the Cubase mixer by clicking on the downward-pointing arrow above the fader in the mixer window and selecting 'Can Hide'... Now click on the bottom icon in the column of channel types at the left of the mixer window (the one that looks like two faders with a diagonal line through them) so that it turns orange - this will hide all channels which are set to 'Can Hide'.
My default template includes Battery and Kontakt pre-loaded, with all but one stereo and two mono channels hidden for both. As I need more channels, I simply un-hide them in the mixer.

Thanks Colin!
But this way do I save some memory? (I tried, it looks smoothier, but not as I thought)...
Cause even hidding the channels I donīt use, itīs kind of loaded on the vst track. So I guess it eats some performance, as there are 7 outputs from a vst loaded...

The amount of memory taken up by an unused channel is negligible compared to the amount of memory used by other aspects of real-time audio processing, particularly when you bring samplers into the equation. I don't worry about it as I like the flexibility it gives me to add channels to the mixer at will. Besides if Kontakt 2.0.2 only gives you three options for the number of outputs you have, it's not really like you have a choice, is it! 
Personally I'm glad that NI have reduced the options in this way... I've had problems with a couple of projects in the past where I've changed the number of outputs in Kontakt or Battery in-between sessions on that particular track, and the project hasn't loaded properly. Having three versions of the dll with different numbers of outputs will avoid this totally, and as long as patch files are fully interchangeable between each version you'll still be able to give yourself more outputs if you need to.

Right to the point!
Thatīs NI report about this. They prefer to avoid crashes than multiple outputs options. 
They also say that Kontakt mutes all the not conected outputs if u use host from Steinberg for example... But I canīt see this working.
Anyway... At least the 2.0.2 update has a 8 channels options(2.0.1 has only 16). And for sure it saved some memory here!
