Hello everyone,

I'm just curious what is your, guys and girls, software sampler choice.

I'm using Live/(simpler) (sampler) and Kontakt. On market there is a lot of samplers. I prefear Live instruments but there is a one catch with all Live stuff ... I will loose my eyes one day... and instruments are not really intuitive like other on the market... Kontakt is great but I personaly I don't like as well, it's sometimes very confusing when you want to modulate something etc... etc... controls floating in that small window up and down like yo-yo

 

This thread is result from this story http://audiosex.pro/index.php?/topic/9364-best-all-in-one-multilayer-romplersampler-vstau/page__p__59484__fromsearch__1#entry59484

 

Kontakt 5 for instrument samples and Battery 4 for Drums every thing any one would need

 

Sampler built in Live instrument and Kontakt for few cool libs.

 

MOTU - Mach Five 3!
New Sonic Arts - Nuance!

 

HALion 5 all the way....then Omnisphere!

 

Vember ShortCircuit 2 (occasionally 1).
Fuzzpilz UnwieldyTracker.

 

I was plan to try shortcircuit, now it's free as I know

Vember is great synth, so SC tend to be too ?!?

 

wow SC is old but very very good, great toy for next week

 

Geist for drums.

 

kontakt is the way to go, go to youtube and learn it if its too complicated. while i will be the first to agree that its not the best, it seems to be the industry standard and everybody makes libraries for it. got to go with the majority even though its not user friendly

 

I use kontakt since version 2, and know all the functions, and I say "it's complicated", it will be great to re-design GUI (other NI stuff has great functionality over GUI design)

I hate way of modulating and showing of chains (up/down) and If you want to design preset with lot of samples and lot of modulating it's really messed up.

But I love filters, fx and script functions... and It's great ofcourse.

As I see on youtube, Independence / Engine 2 has great GUI, but I never using it so I can't tell the whole impression.

 

All I use is ShortCircuit v1 and ReaSamplomatic. ReaSamplomatic is smashing for drums, pun intended. ...especially with this new velocity layers update. You just can't beat the simplicity and straightforwardness of both. I simply hate Kontakt, but when it comes to sample libraries there's no escape from it. I consider it an ultimate sample player, a ROMpler. Kontakt's problem is that it's not fun, at least for me. TX16Wx is far more fun, too. ;) However, TX16Wx is still kinda buggy so I stick to ShortCircuit for when I don't want to be a beta tester.

Cheeers!

 

Have a look at CWITec - TX16Wx.
It's free!
