Since Halion 3 isn't likely to be supported, I'm looking for a replacement sampler for the Receptor. Looks like Sampletank and Kontakt are the main contenders. Have been looking at Kontakt but from what I've seen on the NI site, it has some problems at the moment. Is Sampletank a better choice?

SampleTank is a good thing to have now that it is user installable on the Receptor. It is especially good as a sample-based workstation with expandable sounds. It won't do everything a "sampler" like HALion will though. Kontakt would cover that territory. It is especially good if you plan to do your own multisampling or if you like to go deep into modulation routings and more complex editing.
Sonic Reality did sounds for both factory sound banks for those two products. I personally use them both and it is a great combination. Although, I don't use Kontakt on my Receptor. I just use ST and Sonik Synth on the Receptor and that is great for my live playing. It really turns Receptor into a major hardware workstation sound module to have those two.
