Re: [exs] EXS24, Halion or Kontakt for orchestral sounds ?

2002-07-21 by yael

I am using a P4 with 2.2a and 1 Gb of Ram. I am using mostly 
orchestral instruments (like Miroslav on Akai etc...)and I like a 
software that has the minimum of bugs and a good integration with 
Emagic.  Quality of translated sounds is also important.

Thank you in advance for all your answers !

*****************
For orchestral the most important things is the "POLYPHONY"...
This Polyphony will decrease if the sampler VSTi use too many CPU..
the best choice will be to choose the lowest CPU sampler user ;o)

Halion can have some good features because it reads Giga Dimensions ...
Kontakt seems to be a little more CPU "hungry" than Halion

EXS24 is the lowest CPU user but maybe u'r afraid because u'r on PC ...
even with Logic 5.2, exs24 can be a good choice...
