#EXTRACT .NKI FILES USING CDXTRACT SOFTWARE#
Perhaps because of this, many musicians have been holding out to see what a dedicated Native Instruments software sampler would be like. These were impressive, including a superb implementation of granular synthesis, but Reaktor's totally open‑ended design isn't as efficient in programming terms as a dedicated sampling application, which isn't good news if you want to achieve high polyphony. Can it make headway in what has become a crowded market?ĭespite being one of the last major music software companies to release a dedicated software sampler, Native Instruments have had experience in this field since 1999, when they added a range of sampling options to Reaktor, their modular software‑synthesis package. The utilitys and workflow/archiving etc things you mention sound very good Alien and are the kind of thing it can be tricky to find out in advance (whereas envelopes, filters etc are usualy shouted from the rooftops on the makers pages and are easy to check out.With 16-part multitimbrality, integrated effects, and flexible modulation capabilities (shown on the lower right here), Kontakt is certainly a fully-featured software sampler.Īlthough NI's Reaktor has offered sampling options for some time, it's taken the company a while to produce a dedicated software sampler: Kontakt. Will definatly have a good look and arrange a demo of it soon. The lack of a really solid line between sampling and synthesis is one of the things i love about electronic music. Maybe we use different terminology or maybe i wasnt clear. They re all samplers but they have their own feel, workflow and abilities so even if renoise incorporated some new features ill still use at least one other soft sampler and prob some hardware too.Īs for the synth thing…im referring to the ability of the emulator x (or most modern samplers including renoises) to apply its synth architechture (Envelopes, filters, lfos etc etc) to sampled waveforms. I used to use an mpc, an asr10, and a lovely grainy old roland together or apart depending on what i was doing. Triggering different renoise sampler instruments from the same note info in different channels can be lovely for some multilayered things but sometimes i want to do things that would mean tedious workarounds that are never quite right. Yes for those reasons, though i also use and love renoises internal sampler too. “is it just because of the better support (more samples, velocity dependant) for multisample-instruments?” So is there anything thats nice and quick and easy to audition samples in, has good envelope, synthesis etc options and runs like a dream with renoise? That might be good but makes the cost similar. Ive just noticed that a platinum version of emulator x is about to come out that can use dual processing. Id just like to gather any experiences you guys have to offer with the others and particuarly how they work with renoise.
#EXTRACT .NKI FILES USING CDXTRACT UPGRADE#
It would be 3-4 times the cost of the upgrade to buy another bit of software but i can afford to and i dont mind doing so.

It doesnt give great auditioning options when used as i currently do (though maybe if i organised my samples as is intended by emu i might find that easier)

If i change it ll be because a) the emu uses a lot of cpu. I hear good things about mach5 and kontakt. I do keep finding songs in renoise with the emu cause minor probs (which im trying to pin down and check arent something else and will post about soon) but even assuming this isnt a prob with the later version im quite torn. Great synth, editing, etc options and in many ways it compliments renoises internal sampler well. Ive got the 1.5 version of emulator x and am selling the last of my hardware samplers and trying to decide between upgrading to the emulator x2 version or buying an entirely different soft sampler. Ive used Halion with cubase in the past, Emulator x (with cubase and renoise) and a number of hardware samplers over the years.
