I'll put another one in - kotakt. The three are quite different in the way they work. Firstly Reason, is a whole studio package, with two synthsiser modules (sybstractive and granular), two samplers, loop player, drum machine and a host of different effects. Very powerful in my opinion. But the samplers handle only one instrument at a time, which means that doing any serious orchestral work is out of the question. You would need stacks of NN-XT...no keyswitching but very nice zone layering passible.

MachFive is a 16 part sampler so it is more suited for multi instrument support, but it has no DFD (direct from disk) support (although that is comnig in april from what I hear) and no keyswitching, so importing a massive giga piano is a no way. has a built-in analyzer and a tuner. Great for fixing certain orchestral libraries, notorious for having bad tuning.

Finally Kontakt - very powerful too, keyswitching and DFD insluded. Very nice for setting up elaborate string instruments etc, witih all the different playing techniques under one instrument. Giga files are well recognized. Quite good processor handling.

I would recommend Reason AND a Sampler for big, key-switched files.
