Essential
A must have to access the sound libraries I so love from the likes of Spitfire, Sonokinetics, ProjectSam, VSL, Berlin Orchestra...to name a few!
Great
Use it for all strings, pianos, and brass. Also cinematic percussion and some nice ambient sounds.
It's pretty much mandatory!
I don't know where I'd be without Kontakt and I think it's fair to say the same about most of us! while I've used other samplers before in the past, none of them have been as reliable as Kontakt. Companies also seem to recognize that and Kontakt has become essentially the de-facto sampler!
It's here that I load up tons and tons of sample libraries, many of which are orchestral or cinematic. It's a critical piece of my music-making and I just don't know where I'd be without it!
when you cant afford the real thing
powerful sampler although i usually use it fo vintage synth patches
