The only sampler I have tried out a little is VSampler that came with Sonar. As far as I can tell it is okay for my needs. But before I invest a lot of time in learning all the tricks it can do ... is there a better sampler out there?
My perceived needs:
1. I want samples for rock music, so techno stuff is not necessary.
2. Should read and preferably write SF2
3. Stand alone capability, so I can use it for any midi program, even Windows Media Player. And possible redirection of midi channels to other devices would be great.
If VSampler is the way to go, great. My only hessitation is if VSampler will last. Maybe Cakewalk includes something else in the next Sonar version, maybe VSampler is discontinued? In which case I would rather invest in a more established sampler.
