Best sampler for Giga and EXS24?

[Remon]

Hello everyone,

Can anyone suggest the best sampler for handling Giga and EXS24 formats?

Thanks.

Hi!
Probably Halion for now.

Chickensys Translator us coming along, which would make Kontakt another otion.

Halion has some very good support by a few users on the Halion board at the cubase.net forums. Basic tutorials on things. Actually was a very rough call for me on which to get, Halion or Giga. Went with Giga due to number of libraries I have in native giga form.

What about CDextract? Any issues, quality or otherwise with using it to convert samples vs. Chicken?

Thanks

Fine with both formats on Kontakt,converted my whole Giga Library and some ESX24 samples I downloaded,didn't need CDXtract(which is a nice app by the way).I had trouble with 2 .gig's early with Kontakt,but the next update cleared that up.

Doesn't Gigsstudio accept EXS24 files?? I think it does. Anyhow, I'm day dreaming about getting KOMPACT. Half the price of Kontact. Accepts all the same files, just has a few less bells and wistles.
