Good Sampler for PT? (Not Structure Free)
 

I'm looking for a good sampler for pro tools that has more functionality than structure free. Most importantly I'm looking for something where you drag clips directly from tracks into the plugin, instead of having to go through a file explorer like in structure free. Thanks!

"Most importantly I'm looking for something where you drag clips directly from tracks into the plugin"


so far i know , since PT10 is that not possible anymore due the new AAX
architecture , in PT10 it was , at least with structure,possible to drag
from timeline , now you can only drag from desktop or other folders,not
from within PT which means you have to export first from timeline.



good sampler?
NI Kontakt is more or less a standard , competitions like falcon
or others may have here or there more or less features...
big plus for kontakt is the huge avaiable library , also from third parties.


there are demo versions avaiable , best is to try them first to see which fits your needs.

I use and I'm happy with tx16w :

Don't think you can drag samples directly from within PT.

Kontakt gets a lot of use here.

If you are on a current subscription plan you already have access to Falcon, which is an amazing sample player.

My default’s always been Battery, just because I find the interface so much easier to navigate than Kontakt (which is just horrible for instrument creation - tiny and fiddly - though the libraries are fantastic of course). Battery is supposed to be for “one-shots” but it doesn’t take much to get it working as an “instrument” instead. (I always default to 12 columns across, i.e. one for each key).

I should check out Falcon really but I’m just too damn lazy. :rolleyes:

Kontakt and Falcon, as said. Reason is also very cool.

I've always had issues with Kontakt in Pro Tools, both v5 & v6. On multiple machines, going back to PT11. Anybody else? I've been recommended to run VEP for better performance.

So besides Kontakt, TX16wx reminds me of classic samplers so I find it easier to program.

Falcon can be very interesting and is included with some plans.

As mentioned above you can't drag and drop anymore. Since they introduced AAX. It was intentionally removed.

Re: Good Sampler for PT? (Not Structure Free)
 

I can't say I've had this problem but to be fair, I only use Kontakt for one or two instruments at most per session. The others come from various other VI's. VEP (even on the same machine) certainly helps to reduce the load on PT.

So it's intentionally impossible. Very cool Avid, thank you.

Does anyone know whether Kontak's sampler comes in their free version?
