However you cant compare the current kontakt to that one from 14 years ago...

And there is no reason not to add a modern CPU to a modern arranger.... Every modern intel cpu can run Kontakt perfectly... And prices of these CPU are even lowerr then the oldfashioned stuff they build intoo these arrangers... And with direct from disc sample playing and SSD prices dropping every day ( have a 1 TB SSD for €350) there is no reason not to add stuff like this.. Wersi is doing it for over a decade .. And if it wasnt for their pricing and bad support, and underperforming styles( they still lag behind yamaha, korg and ketron where OTB styles) everyone would be playing Wersi..

Korg kronos for example has got a sound engine comparable to this.. And thats a hardware workstation, thats much cheeper then the totl arrangers they currently sell..


Isnt this what arranger players love to do, play around with visual soundsettings untill your accoustic instrument emulation sounds perfect?



If you have Komplete Omnisphere and Alchemy running you have access to the best sounds of the world.
