Shortcircuit

having tried 3 of the 5 (kontakt, Halion, exs24) have to say kontakt is the best of them. One sampler is much like another they'll all be fine for techno. I just think kontakt has better filters than say halion, and seems to have a better overall sound engine. But doesn't matter what your making with it. If you want a better sampler look at getitng yourself a hardware akai or emu.

I have an E-mu SP1200 Ver2 and that's dam phat ;) also I have an Akai S950 and they are cheap and sound great , 12bit all the way ;)

[RDR]

aye...

you can pick em up REALY cheap these days (hardware samplers in general) NOT the sp1200 :lol: legendary shit that...

Kontakt for me, going to give that Shortcircuit a try soon though

Kontakt is also pretty intuitive to use, once youve got used to the interface...very quick to make it do what you want

I started a similar thread a bit further down the board about this by the way...theres a bit of info on there too :)

From that list Kontakt, although i would choose Kontakt 1.5 over 2 because its more stable

surely it depends what you sample with it

no way was 1.5 more stable. Used to glitch all the time on me aswell as being a cpu hog. 2 is much better.

[Andy]

Well i havent had any glitch problems with mine and havent had any probs with it being a cpu hog either

I guess it might work better\worse with different operating systems, sequencers, processors and combinations of plugins though.

Or maybe the version of Kontakt 2 i tried was buggy but its since been fixed, i dunno
