KONTAKT vs.ESX24mkii

KONTAKT rocks so good that emagic and there users seem to be shaken by the features to finaly come to the virtuel desktop, i had been slammed, slandered and removed from posts when i mention why the esx24mkii does not time stretch and tune yet?

What kind of company is emagic when they claim to provide un compromisable features to set revelutionary standards when some of there manual wrriters and translaters at the logic forums snap to competitors surprising developements, im not surprised at NI at all.

So i post here to hear what more honest users would have to say about emagics disspointing esx24mkii and what they rather have as features, one member did speak out at the logic forums and a great idea would be that a on/off swicth between time stretch and expansion to not allow the esx24mkii to hog up memory, and that would be acceptable if thats why emagic excused this feature for..

but for me either way, a sampler should record, lay out (keyboard) time/stretch and pitch correct samples at your desire or just buy a plug sound to do the rest.

And pelase let not forget, a nice more tolerant and flexible staff and better graphics helps, after all we evolved now from the stone ages.

after being frustrated with an EMU ESI2000 hardware sampler that wasn't Mac friendly... the ESX24 was like heaven for me. Time stretching is no big deal as if I want to loop things... I use Recycle and then pull back into ESX24 to loop with midi. I am perfectly happy with that arrangment. and setting keyzones seems really easy to me compared to hardware samplers too. I really can't seem to think of anything that would make the ESX24 better for myself. wink.gif
