Say like nnxt or kontakt libraries of junos or the like vs synths like diva tal repro -prophet v ?
i prefer sample libaries like that of pinknoise studios , they sound more real and clean to me , i have synths as well , but its more a debate here , what do u prefer ?

no contest... real synths... samples are static. Samples are like Photos and synths are Video with movement and life!

Sure they are real... they are real synths... you can adjust them, tweak them in realtime, modulate them... RePro is awesome!!

Not as good as the real thing bruv come on get with the program , this aint the question is it

And u can do all that with samples too , ie tweak modulate etc

Emulations all the way. And in my opinion some are even better than any hardware synths.

What is 'real synths', it means it is delivered in a box which isn't a computer? Pheh. Numerous hardware synths are software in a box.

That's just dogma, and silly dogma.

Sampled synths never had any moment here, to say the least. That is the least attractive kind of instrument in the world to me. It should be self-explanatory, why.

No you cannot... if the sample has the filter set at a specific value, you cannot change it. It is a static recording of a set of parameter values... you cannot adjust those values.

I just used Monark in a track; it sounded so rich, and wild, perfect for its role (indispensable even in the support role)n and with a couple of minutes setting something up. If you gave me a Minimoog I would probably just sell it.

Listen this isnt the question and i dont agree hence why i asked the question even a sample u can tweak the adsr the filter modulate it , change the lfos etc and u can even build one using wavetables from synths , which is what a lot of people do in serum / europa etc

Thats why u choose ones with the filter set all the way , then u can bring it down , which sample libaries u tried ?

What ADSR and Filter are you talking about? In Kontakt? Good luck getting it to sound like a Prophet 5!!
