Kontakt is the big sampler these days that people seem to make the most expansions for.  I picked it up for $200 a couple of years ago so there are sales on it.  I was hoping to find Komplete cheaper than $400 but no go this last year.

I'm not sure if one can even buy Kontakt as a standalone product any more.  The only options I can find to acquire Kontakt (OK ... after not very rigorous checking) are to get it by purchasing Komplete.

you can still buy it direct.

NI is like Cake (and just about everybody else) - once you get a registered product (even the freebies I think) you are in the family.  I think I got Razor or something first for nothing or next to it.

I don't know if the DSF expansions work in DimPro LE - I'd check their site.  But DimPro is a good sampler, DSF has some good packs and there are lots of SFZ files out there too - and DimPro is pretty straightforward to program the synth functions. 

Should work - in fact, they throw Dimension LE in for free when you buy an expansion (at least, from my own experience, just last week).

 I know,I have AR 70's Drums,pre-Bass and,J-Bass, that's part of the reason why I'm having a hard time deciding what to get.

If you are still considering Addictive Keys AudioDelux have a deal on. Once you have created an account and got on the mailing list its down to $83.99

 So Cakewalk may have just helped me out.Until March 15th you can upgrade to X2 Producer for $99,that'll get me Dimension Pro,Rapture and TruePianos.I listened to some of the sound samples for Dim Pro and Rapture on the X2 page and was impressed,I liked what I heard but still wanted more.The sound I want to be the most accurate is the organ,I want a realy good,real sounding B3 and/or C3 organ.

 

 I'm going to upgrade to X2 Producer and get VB3. After listening to the sound examples of Dim Pro and Rapture on the X2 Pro. page I'm sure those 2 and True Pianos can cover most of the key sounds I want/need.But,I'm really liking Arturia's Analogue Laboratory alot.

  I saw that there is a B3 emulation in one of the free expansion packs for Dimension Pro,how good is it,does anybody use it on a regular basis?

Glad you found a good solution. As for Arturia, well, stay tuned, there's always sales and w/ the good folks here in the software forum, we rarely miss any of them...

It's OK, but it misses the amp and Leslie modeling options you get on VB3 or Vintage Organs. Its a bit cryptic but Dim Pro's knobs actually control the drawbars so in terms of tone its more versatile than it would first appear. I think its good for the person that just needs the odd organ sound here and there, but VB3 or VO is the way to go if its going to be a key instrument.
