UVI Falcon was supposed to be the Kontakt Killer but it’s too complex to learn quickly, too expensive for most people and nobody makes libraries for it outside of UVI. It’s sad because it is such an incredible plugin

[DankePlace]

Behringer Bois mount each other up, Grind(r) is in town.

[ruanlegrange]

Soundpaint (8Dio) is already potentially a Kontakt killer 😉

[blakecasimir]

Decent Sampler. It has tons of user made packs. I would really like to see some inexpensive pay for quality instruments for it. I think that would help it take off as a viable "pro" alternative to Kontakt.

[apoplexiamusic]

Audiopilz will be happy that Roland finally made a product with a proper display

[edenisthebeginning]

I heard the vocal sample and can already imagine how large the content file would be lol

Fact: The biggest "Kontakt-Killer" is Native Instruments. Other companies don't even come close. :D That being said, Kontakt is still a beast, beyond its increasingly toylike userinterface. This Audiomodern-Sampler is faaaar away from offering the same depth Kontakt offers. FAR away, despite the nice MPE support.

The Juno-D was invited to the Behringer mount up party

I don't think people understand how many kontakt libraries are actually out in the wild

I love Audiomodern plugins, but I wouldn't call Soundbox a "Kontakt killer" just yet. The most glaring issue is the lack of round-robins, but there are tons of other stuff they would need to change as well for it to be competitive with Kontakt. The real "Kontakt killer" was released long ago: UVI Falcon. It's unfortunately even more expensive and less open for third-party library developers. Decent Sampler is still the best alternative if you want something cheaper than Kontakt.

The AudioModern plugin comes to iPad soon. Pretty big deal if you ask me. It’s just the same as Kontakt, but like you mentioned about the varieties of sounds available for Kontakt, it’s also a plugin that’s out there for a long time now. Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to the iPad version.

Apparently a lot of people are running into paywalls in using that new Audiomodern sampler, despite their promise to never paywall parts of their products. I'll wait until the facts become a bit clearer before I add any new tools.

weaver beats aka "the Giggler"

[xanderlurks]

The second you were like jump through a hoop I was like nah not worth checking out lol

[inwex]

I got the abstract string soundbox. I don't know about it killing anything. Don't even have the full version of Kontakt. But you can put in your own samples and give each sample key ranges. Kinda like soundpaint engine does.

[danbunge]

I just ordered a D6, $900.00. Chord mode and lots of cool modes.

[krissloverap]

I finally understand it, ableton move is an ableton elektron competition.

[Riktenstein]

Love you to cover the crow hill company. Some decent stuff there.

[johnnyrenfield]

New Grind(er) Synth with full backwards docking capability lol

[rjw]

so, in what way is the Soundbox a potential kontakt killer? in what way does it purport to be? and how did you find it in your testing?
