Stormdrum?

[Tonio]

anyone using Stormdrum? It includes Kompakt and Intakt-which I was considering getting Kompakt. For the price why not just get Stormdrum?

Any comparison to Battery2?

oh, can you use pitched percussion e.g. vibes. marimba w/ Battery?

[Tonio]

no one? or should I take it to the drums board?

Take it to the drums board.

If you're that impatient, maybe someone over there knows about a brand new Native Instruments software package that creeps technology ever closer to putting them all out of work...

Too Funny

Actually Tonio the Kompakt player that comes with Stormdrum, most likely only works with Stormdrum (Hence, you couldn't load new samples into it). As far as whether you should get it is simply a matter of wheter you like how it sounds (have you checked any demo's yet???). Not sure if Battery 2 does pitched percussion (short of loading seperate samples for each cell), but any standard sampler will do that for you, if you are looking to just map a couple of samples across an entire keyrange, and there are plenty of freebie samplers out there. I am impressed overall with what I have seen in Battery 2 as far as features go though.

go to www.northersounds.com... You'll get all the info you want about stormdrums, and hear demos by users as well...

Attertion yeah I get that Stormdrum is proprietary. I have tried the Battery demo, and Soundplugs, Sampletank just doesn't work, well it does but the newest version panning is all screwed up w/ my host-DP4.5 BTW.
I also tried Kontakt. But with demos you can only play with the samples they have.

I here you about mapping samples, it seems it would work w/ Battery. Obviously I am newb with sampler/rompler/softsynths. Guess I could get Battery and another for everything else, or is that overkill?

Alot of companies use Kompakt for the engine, and have a proprietary sample library. Bet NI's lovin it.

Thanks for the link tradivoro-allthough it was misspelled if found it. I've been checking out KRV too

You can't really go wrong with Kontakt. I use it for practically everything I do, that doesn't involve a dedicated synth.

are you familiar with reason? if so how does the sounds compare. i want to get a software with samples as i'm getting tired of my synth's sounds
