Blown away so far by the sounds and layout of UI which spark creativity. Feels like a modern workstation with the flexibility of software.This was a no brainer at $250 well worth it already and I've just scratched the surface.
I also bought it, but mainly for Halion Sonic, which is like an upgrade to Sonic Reality Gold. Retrologue, Padshop (granular synth) and The Grand are nice additions too. Kinda feel bad for not forwarding the promo to my friend!
Dang,you didn't tell your homie?? ;) I deleted the grand so as to save on space and I'm starting to get away from redundant instruments since I already have Komplete Ultimate 11 with plenty of pianos in Kontakt. I don't know if its my computer being on windows 8 but the UI for Halion Sonic is broken up in some areas where it doesn't display the words.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out looks pretty sweet. Quick question, once you have the samples set up, can you save/export them individually? If you say yes, it will be an instant buy looks exactly what I' need.

Ya I found some youtube vids and seemed there was no saving it. I'm still better off with Reason slicing and saving samples slog.

Its so weird... I don't even purchase loops or sample-based instruments anymore and just make my own, however so many people love their gigs of samples, gigs of loops, for years and years, and yet I cannot find an implementation of a software that finds loop points and can audition and export each one individually.

If Serato did that I would have purchased it, seemed perfect in every other way for what I need.

I never used it but i think SliceX can do this.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Might be slightly better than Reason, but doesn't do anything for me in any other regard, not worth 65 bucks just to allow saving of slices in between markers. Might even be similar to how Reason does it, hold shift in the beginning, click the last marker, split them, bounce to samples then export each one individually or highlight them all and export them. At least with Reason I can also just drag them to the Kong and make it a similar functionality like Serato. Actually now that I'm thinking more about it, perhaps Reason does this well enough for me as-is, I'll have to dig a bit deeper see what I can come up with.

Not really how I want to use it. I think what the OP is looking for a sampler with the functionality of an MPC,where you record,chop,crop and drag samples on keys inside the editor for playing chops.
Actually the only thing you can't do in Kontakt is record audio. Everything else can be done. Most folks sampling nowadays though aren't recording audio unless they're sampling with hardware.
I take umbrage at Kontakt even being called a Sampler. It's a sample playback device only. At least Reason actually has the ability for Redrum, Kong, NN-XT and NN-19 to be real Samplers; i.e. they can actually create samples; like the verb 'sampler' literally implies.

When you say the only thing you can't do is actually sample, what is "everything else"? Playback stuff? Like I said, Kontakt has no right calling itself a Sampler. It should be called a Sample Host/Sample Playback Engine.

This thread is actually about 2 years old lol. Nonetheless, extreme semantics here but... Recording audio is only one part of what some samplers do. Sampling is the process, not a synonym for recording. If I load a song on a computer instead of recording it from a turntable, I’ve still sampled it. The manipulation of the audio afterwards also counts, chopping, stretching...etc... Kontakt does all of that therefore... sampler. A sample host/playback engine Would be more descriptive of a rompler.

For lack of a better source, here’s a Wikipedia definition:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampler ... nstrument)
A sampler is an electronic or digital musical instrument which uses sound recordings (or "samples") of real instrument sounds (e.g., a piano, violin or trumpet), excerpts from recorded songs (e.g., a five-second bass guitar riff from a funk song) or found sounds (e.g., sirens and ocean waves). The samples are loaded or recorded by the user or by a manufacturer.

Oh yeah! I have no idea why I didn't notice how old the thread was! Yes I know that the industry has blurred the lines of these terms, but to me it doesn't make any sense. Check out this conversation that never happened:

"Hey check out my sampler!"

"Cool! Which of your old vinyls have you sampled with it?"

"Actually, I can't sample the vinyls with the sampler. I have to sample them with Audacity and then load the samples into my 'sampler' after!"

"So Audacity is more of a sampler then? Without that, you'd have no samples?!"

"lol"

Lol I look at it as methods changing. Granted I was very young when hardware samplers were all the rage, but I don’t think the exciting part was the recording aspect, but rather what you did with it afterwards. Audio was recorded from vinyl because there was no other method. Either way, whether you record yourself or use someone else’s digital recording, it’s still an audio file being loaded and manipulated. Pretty much the same process. No Audacity use necessary. The DAW handles the recording need.
