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.kvotchin wrote: ↑Mon Oct 15, 2018 5:20 am Yeah, running Reaper (which is fine so far, good in fact, but not exactly known for its outstanding native plugs), and have tried the free TX (figured I might as well), plus some other freeware.
I suspect one of these expensive ‘all in one’ offerings will be the thing.

Yes I agree with you. My comment was directed at this, specifically the bold:zenophilix wrote:If I'm choosing between Serum and Kontakt for sampled instruments, ehm, it's going to be Kontakt everytime. As far as I know, Serum can't do multilayered, can't do more than one sample. Really, Serum is.. well, a synth.

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..Mushy Mushy wrote: ↑Mon Oct 15, 2018 6:19 amYes I agree with you.

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

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.

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.
