Best sampler for cubase?

[jown101]

A lot of what is said here is actually not really true:

Groove Agent is ONLY the Steinberg drum machine. Its advantage is that it
can also be equipped with your own samples. Groove Agent has the great
advantage of providing many midi drum sequences that are automatically
synchronized to the song tempo.

The sampler for Cubase is Halion. Halion is specially designed so that you can
see the individual sample programs in the Cubase Inspector and even select
them or step through them. Halion really has the potential of what is necessary
for a sampler: velocity layers, round-robin, modulation + envelopes, etc. . There
are many ready-made libraries and you can put together your own multisamples
relatively quickly - using drag+drop.

So Halion is the Cubase sampler, which was specially developed by Steinberg
as "Cubase Sampler".

Of course - thanks to the VST interface - you can use any 3rd party VST sampler
(Kontakt, Tal, Motu Mach Five, Sforzando, Decent, TX16w, ...).

Thanks for going into detail here, really appreciate it. I am going to try the native steinberg plugins first and see how I get on!
