Vistual Sampler 2.73 ======================== I use SoundFonts,CubaseVST 5.1 & SB Audigy Platinum card: That is why this is one of the greatest investments for my humble homestudio. Until VSampler - I just couldn't route each soundfont to a different effect - not anymore! - with 8 Srereo outputs to Cubase I can route any SF to 8 effects inside Cubase (+ 2 inside VSampler). One more HUGE benefit - I can stream big samples from the HD no more RAM limit ! There are some free samples with it but I use mainly SF.(until I get free AKAI samples).
Also reads LM-4 kits - good although most of the free ones are not as good as some of my SFs.
For the small price I paid I got a full DX7 synth (plus a simple analog synth) although I have an original hardware DX7 I use as a MIDI controller. Many features I cannot even remeber. What can I say - A GLORIOUS VSTi !
BUY IT - if only for the SF routing issue !
UPDATE: I got the bundled (optional) N#1 instruments - nice fx and some great collection of samples in WAV - may be skipped.
I purchased lots of E-mu & SonicImplants samples (GREAT choice) and one of the SoundFonts could not be read by VSampler correctly (SI's Blue Jay Loose Kit). All other soundfonts I loaded - worked perfectly.
Every time I launch Cubase - I launch VSampler - and I love it ! T H E B E S T ! ! !Read Review
