I need a sampler

Hey guys,

I'm wondering what sampler I should get. I'm looking for something like Reason's NN-XT. I tried Halion and really didn't like it. Which one do guys prefer?

You mean a vst based sampler? I guess Kontakt or Kompakt from Native Instruments are good choices.

Didn't like Halion myself either ;)

Kontakt is pretty wicked. Intakt also. Both by Native.

sorry to say but sofware all the way!!!!!

hardware is only effective in live situations really, with what you can do with software these days it is great. plus cost factor, you can buy NI products cheaper than hardware with just as many features and quality.
I personally use reason3.0 and use the nn-xt to sample, its a good sampler. but not sure how it compares to others.

cheers,

for production, software sampling has become the option for most producers. it's so much cheaper than a lot of hardware samplers and it's improved in leaps and bounds recently. Native Instruments Kontakt and Ableton Live's Simpler are my current samplers of choice - there's quite a bit of flexibility in both.

Emagic EXS 24 VST Instruments, more easy to use but not as complex as
Halion. It's more like a flexible sample player

What's the word on hybid Hard-/Software like EMU? Are they any good?
