It’s a simple sampler when you want it to be, and a deep sonic scripting laboratory when you need something more. With KONTAKT 6, you can sound like a snare drum, a symphony orchestra, or anything in between, from a universe of sampled instruments. Both platforms have their pros and cons.Native Instruments Kontakt 6 v6.7.1 Windows There are way more third party libraries for Kontakt than Halion. Session Guitars for Kontakt are amazing and there is nothing like that for Halion. There are good and bad libraries in both Halion and Kontakt. Yes Halion comes free with your stock Cubase installation. There are many advantages of having Halion as a free plugin. Motif was used by Steve Wonder in his life gigs. That is why Halion is like having Yamaha Motif synth at your disposal. You have to understand that Steinberg works closely with Yamaha. Yea, idk why steinberg even make Halion when there’s Kontakt, Halion is just a waste of resources for steinberg I agree, Halion has some cool sounds and features, but the 3rd party support for Kontact is second to none - but (there’s always a but) if you’re just starting out and are just finding your feet - Halion will not be the thing that holds you back - however Kontact isn’t THE sampler standard for nothing. Ok, for now I will make do with what I have, and slowly in the future purchase ‘extras’ IF i need them. That was VERY useful informationĪnd yes, you are right it will cost me a small fortune to buy a few of the libraries that you pointed out. Big Choirs, Orchestral Strings, Pianos, Guitars, EDM, Epic Sound Design, and More. Take a listen and decide if it’s for you:įind Sample Libraries & Virtual Instruments - Kontakt VST, AU, AAX.

But it should also be said that going down this route is all but cheap! Some libraries can be very expensive! Below are some of the main creators of Kontakt libraries. If you do there’s no instrument more suited for these sounds than Kontakt. If you do not necessarily need orchestral instruments like strings and brass, choir, grand piano’s, drum/percussion or big band sounds I’d suggest you stick to the more general synths. While many Kontakt libraries can do these type of sounds also it’s real strength lies in the reproduction of acoustic instruments and the human voice. Like jaslan said, if you want EDM synths or similar sounds there’s lots of other stuff out there that will fully satisfy your needs. Where in my opinion people can discuss anything remotely related to Steinberg? He can be a sourpuss sometimes? This is the lounge.

So I want to know opinions from people that use Kontakt WITHIN Cubase.

I have seen Youtube Videos of people using Kontakt WITHIN Cubase.
