Got curious, after an update from the KVR newsletter.

 
What can you do with this ?
 
Do you get the free or the pro version ?
 
Looking forward for some insights. Thanks!

I downloaded it a while back and played around some with loading the samples and such but I could never get any sound out of it! Maybe someone can help with my problem. It looks a little like VSampler and I used that for years in another studio. I was hoping I could resurrect my custom sounds for VSampler with the freebie version but no luck so far. I might try to play with it again some today. If so, I will let you know. It looks to be a very good sampler. If it doesn't work I guess I'll have to update to Kontakt 5.

I am just starting to use it.  The previous versions had major memory errors.  So far so good .  Will take  bit to get used to .  I have the free version for now until i get  firm grip on whether it is a long term solution.  I like short circuit a lot but its only 32-bit. Theoretically it is a notch below Kontakt, but more powerful than your typical rompler in terms of pure sampling.
 
So far I have been able to create a multi-output layered drum kit.  COming to terms wit hthe interface is a challenge.  Even resized, there are parts that seem too small.  Slicing is not very intuitive to me , but it is a feature.

Thanks for the replies. Shall find sometime to test it out soon.
 
Surprisingly I've only found one youtube video of TX16Wx which only introduce it briefly.

TX16Wx VST is/was based on the hardware Yamaha sampler.  should be plenty out there that is similar and applicable to the VST.
 
I used the VST a couple of times but in the earlier version I ran into crashes and bugs.  Then I got Kontakt and just moved on.
 
If E-MU had continued supporting and one was able to purchase Emulator X I would go that route in a heart beat.  that plugin was feature rich and nice, but it's so buggy from what I hear that it's not worth it on newer Windows.
 
I don't know of many sampler VST plugins that actually sample now that are around.  Kontakt doesn't, Mach 3 doesn't.  They have features of a sampler but it's mostly post sample editing, scripting etc.
 
I miss my EMU EMax II hardware rack so badly with that wopping 10 meg hard drive, I thought I was in sample heaven.  ahhh for the old days.

Geist actually samples.

Casio FZ1 here, circa 1988 I think? Still works great! You save sounds on 3.5 floppies and reload them from there when you boot it up. 

3.5 floppies!!!  oh yeah!

FZ1 was a great drum sampler.  sucked at timestretching though

I use it the odd time. (free version.) For what I've used it for it's worked fine. Wish some of the GUI buttons were a little bigger, but I won't complain much. Someone put a lot of work into that to offer it for free.
