EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi. Two things. One is Kontakt2 won't cost that list price thru a music store. 
The second is it doesn't matter what sampler you use so much. If you have the 
samples and create your own kit in the ex you don't need another sampler. 
You might want to check out (pronounced BUY) the August issue of a UK mag 
called Computer Music. There is a free version of BFD with one kit that 
sounds very natural. You can't load other samples into it but it works just fine 
stand alone or within Logic. Also the drums that come with K2 are not that 
great. Also you can't load them into anything other then NI stuff. Also you 
pretty much get what you pay for. BFD is great but you have to be able to load 
something like 6-7GB into your comruters HD. And you need to purchase the 
software that allows you to use it. In otherwords. You need to purchase the 
engine. Then you have the item. It comes with kits but if you want others you 
have to buy them. After all is said and done you won't be getting something 
cheaper then K2. I use all the NI stuff as well as Reason 3. I love them all for 
different things. My advise. Learn how to use the EX and get a bunch of 
samples. You can find them all over the place. Layer them and go for broke. 
Just a thought. T
