yeah, so does any have... or have reviews of this new universal softsynth from MOTU? Links would be greatly appriciated (im trying to decide between it, and Kontakt... Im running DP4) Thanks |
||||||||

|

also: I want a sampler that is good for both manipulating sound... but also just for playing back samples of acoutic instruments etc (ie piano, strings, drums etc) |

NN-XT- Just joshing you! ;) What kind of manipulation are you looking for (I favour a pure and simple sampler and then do FX afterwards) and would you want it capable of multi-sampling? |
||||||||

I've heard good things about Kontakt, plus you can real-time Timestrech and Pitchbend .. though I don't know how much that would be your thing. I know that Kontakt otherwise can manipulate sound quite a bit with its extreme envelope action etc., but apparently hasn't got too many audio plug-ins out of the box ?? |

also Kontakt has the advantage of being compatible with Battery, HALion and ESX24 files ... whereas i think the other two are slightly more limited in compatibility, tho this is a minor point really. (also you get 5 sample cd's opposed to 3 with HALion) .. Mach 5 sounds intriguing though .. MotU have some very lush gear .. that 828 box looks pretty mean. is there a HALion SX yet?? |

well, im looking for as much manipulation as I can. Like... taking a recording of a sneeze, and turning it into a soundscape... like... complete reshaping. DSP. KD: Mach 5 claims its compatible with like... everything...? CJC: multisampling is a plus. And when you say you do effects afterwards... what do you mean exactly? In a different program? An example? Thanks guys! |

Re: adding effects afterwards, Say you have a very simple sampler (even floops' or reason's ones), just use that to play back the sound (having prepared it in a wav editing package first) you then run that through an FX chain altering filters, reverb, delay, flanging, pitch modulation etc. just like you would on Kontakt etc. but you have more freedom in your choice of how to alter the sound. Something like kontakt has some basic effects built in, a bit like hardware samplers that include things to alter the sound. I've not used kontakt a great deal, but in my limited experience of it, it strikes me as a software representation (albeit an easy to use, customisable one) of a modular hardware sampler. |

*scratches chin... hmmm do you know if Kontact supports pluggins? |
||||||||
|

Hmmm, can't remember and I don't have it on this PC, but I reckon you could use plugins on it by running kontakt as a vst in cubase or something similair then adding the effects in there... Or were you looking to use kontakt on its own on a lappy being controlled by midi keyboard as a performance sampler? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
well, no... i mean to use it with DP4... not as a standalone... so thats a very good point... I could just do the effects in there :) |
||||||||

Should be fine for that- I guess I'm just annoyed with it as I wanted it as effectively a replacement (well, substitute) for a hardware sampler for use when DJing. |
