I suspect one of these expensive ‘all in one’ offerings will be the thing.
Look into trying to get Kontakt on sale maybe. $400 is a bit hard to justify, but you're getting basically the industry standard, so if you can nab it somehow, you're set.

Yes I agree with you. My comment was directed at this, specifically the bold:

No I get that, just thought it was a little odd to say that there's not much it can't do. Synthesis-wise, yeah, but otherwise.. :P

I was obviously embellishing a little :wink:

i am very very fond of TAL Sampler

TAL Sampler is a great instrument. I use that and Abeltons Simpler and Sampler which are both excellent.

I usually grab Falcon first and then Kontakt. I'm getting into Halion and really like it so far.

Post

HALion 6 and Falcon are my recommendations. My two favorite sampler/synth VST instruments by a wide margin.

Tal Sampler is the best VST sampler for me.

Post

I really like Bliss by DiscoDSP BUT it will take about an hour to get a hang of things.

I prefer Bliss to TAL Sampler just due to Blisses workflow. It fast but also very advance. My favorite is the macros.
-------------------
Bitwig is my DAWs and UHe and Tracktion Synths are my Bae. I maybe buy one synth a year. REMEMBER SELF just one synth a year!

Simpler and sampler are the best, talking about standard plugins in a DAW.

Post

Just as a quick addendum to my earlier post in this thread, i'll +1 for Renoise Redux. It's the closest i can find to the options i have in Live's Simpler/Sampler combo, and has really great FX and routing options as well. It takes a day or two to grok, but is nowhere near as obtuse as TX16Wx and then everything falls into place. A great, complete sampling solution that can be used for drums (including velocity and sample layering), slicing and sample looping (with different loop modes). i also find the sound it has a little more pleasing and less clinical than Live's samplers, but that could totally just be snake oil. The only thing it's missing is a drum pad page and Live's Warp Modes, which can do amazing things inside of Simpler.
