It's sad that EMU is a shell of it's glory days.  Best filters of any sampler I ever used

Hi guys,
 
It seems where samplers are concerned in Sonar X series one has - Dimension Pro, Cyclone, Dropzone.
 
When one is looking around for tutes and info on these it seems pretty sparce. A sampler that keeps scoring high marks elsewhere is the ABLETON SAMPLER. Are any of the samplers in Sonar anywhere near either Ableton Sampler Or NI Kontakt? Is Dimension Pro a good sampler for sound design?
 
Are Cyclone or Dropzone any use?
 
The topic of usage of Samplers seems to be thin on the ground within the Sonar Community? Maybe i am wrong?
 
 

 Elsewhere can not mean Earth.  When you have Kontakt, you don't even waste time with Live's sampler unless you need it for it's proprietary sounds.  The only decent sampler incorporated into a DAW was Logic.  I would think with the samplers out there making a great sampler in a DAW is a waste of resources.     
 

TX16Wx 2.3 is out of beta. Released today.

Fl studios integrated sampler is quite good

Thanks scook.
 

I plumped for KOMPLETE 9. As I had absynth and Reaktor already they gave me a crossgrade in the Black Friday sale. So I got KOMPLETE 9 for amazing price - €167.
This means i now get Kontakt as my sampler :D

Sure does. Couldnt pass that offer by. Normal price to crossgrade about €500. Plus this is the boxed version shipped for that €167 price.

I also ( As i have X3 now too ) upgraded the Z3TA Synth to v2 - What a synth that is.

Again its on offer:
 
store.cakewalk.com/b2ceuro/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=10-cwz32.00-20E
 
Upgrade for Black Friday/Cyber monday princely sum of €24.50  // Full ver knocked down to €49.50. ( Half Price )

Gets my recommend :D
 
 
 

i have z3ta2 already.  probably my most used sytnh.  Eventually i will jump on one of these NI deals.

And so my Black Friday knock down priced ( €167 crossgrade from Reaktor that I had previously ) KOMPLETE 9 arrived via UPS today.
 
Wow, its some behemoth - 12 DVDs of installation. Takes a few hours to complete. Not for small harddrives ( I have 2 x 1 terabyte drives .. luckily :D )
 
So Kontakt and a pile of other audio goodness, here I come :D
