    I just 'discovered' this sampler and it's amazing. Very straightforward and easy to use. It's like Kontakt but I don't have to learn every instrument's interface in order to apply an FX or modulation.

    Just wanted to know who else uses it and what are your thoughts?

    Pd. I know Kontakt is far more capable, but I feel some libraries make really complex and intricate sounds that are great on their own but barely fit in a mix. Sometimes I'm just looking for more 'usable' stuff like this.

    I got it, and I never use it. I always thought the sounds were pretty corny so I just stuck with nexus

    Sounds and look a bit like Nexus rompler, i may have to check it out.
    If you are interested in a modern Sampler(s)
    Check out New Sonic Arts

    it's not a sampler, it's just a rompler.

    Heat Up is trash in my personal opinion. More hype then real use of it. Sounds sound really cheap and a lot of trash sounds in it. Better buy something like Arturia V Collection. You get much more for your bucks!

    If you really are into "Lo-Fi" genres it's good, but I'd rather have good-sounding instruments that i can 'lo-fi' myself, IF i want to.
    In that way it is not worth the tradeoff for space, considering the high-quality samples of lo-fi sounds. I mean WTF is the point?

    If you ask a vintage synth collectors that been doing electronic music they will say it sounds like trash, but if you ask a hiphop/trap enthusiast, they will say it sounds like all their favourite records. Don't ask a Metalhead.

    I use it for "bell", "ting" sound sometimes. maybe 808 once in a while. Overall, I'd say I'm more to Nexus.
