Atari Tech Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I currently have intakt, and am considering getting the crossgrade to kontakt, as intakt has been discontinued. i make ambient, and currently have Reason, FL studio, an Alesis Micron, Intakt, CS80V, and FM-7 (upgrading this to FM8). two questions, is kontakt any good for ambient or would i be better off getting another synth (like the arturia arp2600) and my current laptop is an AMD2800+ with 512 megs of Ram (although i plan on upgrading this year) is that too slow or to little ram for kontakt?

Guest aeser Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 since you're asking whether to get this sampler or another synth i would chime in with my 2 cents and point out a sampler can do what a synth does essentially (by using a synth tone as the source sample) but a synth cannot do what a sampler does (namely play actual real life sounds). so yes you can play atmospheric samples and warp them the same way you would with a synth, but you could also say, program real drum sounds, or any sound you like under the sun. as far as softsamplers, kontakt is the best. so yes. get it.
