It sounds good anyways... it comes with a very good selection of samples, my only criticism would be that it doesnt come with any strings... you get guitars (steel 6/12 string & classical), real acoustic bass, a good selection of drums & percussion and 'The best of synth' providing a selection of pads, leads and other synth sounds & fx... a good selection for doing contemporary production work basicaly... Like i said, all I need is some good string discs and also some selection of middle-eastern instrument sounds i'm sorted.... it's a good package all in all.

It's damned easy to use and has filters and modulation options that you'd only find on the most expensive h/w units if at all.

Thanks people.
Looks like I'm going to go with the crossgrade deal for exs24 owners. 40% off can't really go wrong...
Bit of a shame theirs no strings...I don't really want any samples of NI synths really.
What are the drum kits like that come with it... Having said that only 3 months till I can afford a machindrum.. then I'll have to sample the shit out of that into Kontakt.. Hmm looks like I'll have everything I need to safely say I'll never finish anything again!

Is 16 the limit on mulitouts? I was hoping for 32 or so, I want to build a kit for percussion and I don't really want all the different types coming through the same outs. Seems a shame as I'll have to have several instances open. bit of a waiste of cpu.

32 outs thats what I'm looking for. Great. EXS24 will have to go then.....
I'll have to look into the crossgrade deal.
K - I think you heared about the problem with NI kontakt battery etc multiouts not working in Logic v.5.2 weird because reaktor v3.05 or whatever I have multi outs works great. I have heard that this has been fixed in the v5.3 logic release.
On a side not WTF are NI playing at with their updates? reaktor v3.3 still not here.... kontakt 1.1 with eXS24 import due early sept not here!
Come on NI
Cheers to all for their help

and 1.1 is out with exs support.
Message 16/22 20-Sep-02 @ 11:47 AM - RE: NI Kontakt thoughts please....
However I was hoping for 32 as stated on the NI website? Anyone else using this combo? Also anyone using Kontakt v1.1 on the mac? How many outs can you get? Anyone one using Kontak VSTi in Cubase VST/SX Neundo? How many outs can you get?
I need to ascertain if this is a logic issue or a Kontakt issue before I buy Kontakt. Which I plan to do as sson as I can get this clarified and weather it will be fixed in the v1.1 update of Kontakt (if it is a Kontakt issue).
Does Logic have a limitation on the number of outs? Does the VST spec have a limitation?
All thoughts welcome!
Cheers

However, if I selct a combination of outs totalling greater than 16 LAWP v5.3 comes up with the following error when I try to open that song:
ASIO: Plug-in "Kontakt" of type 1-0 not available.
Now I guess this means that v5.3 is limited to 16 outs for a VSTi. Can anyone else confuirm this? AGHHHH!

Just been playin with the demo of v1.1 the EXS24 import works ok. Although the lack of streaming is a BIG problem since I only have 256MB RAM.
ALso the lack of VSTi automation is a BIG problem as well. I think I'm going to wait until these two 'issues' are fixed.
