KONTAKT vs.ESX24mkii

KONTAKT rocks so good that emagic and there users seem to be shaken by the features to finaly come to the virtuel desktop, i had been slammed, slandered and removed from posts when i mention why the esx24mkii does not time stretch and tune yet?

What kind of company is emagic when they claim to provide un compromisable features to set revelutionary standards when some of there manual wrriters and translaters at the logic forums snap to competitors surprising developements, im not surprised at NI at all.

So i post here to hear what more honest users would have to say about emagics disspointing esx24mkii and what they rather have as features, one member did speak out at the logic forums and a great idea would be that a on/off swicth between time stretch and expansion to not allow the esx24mkii to hog up memory, and that would be acceptable if thats why emagic excused this feature for..

but for me either way, a sampler should record, lay out (keyboard) time/stretch and pitch correct samples at your desire or just buy a plug sound to do the rest.

And pelase let not forget, a nice more tolerant and flexible staff and better graphics helps, after all we evolved now from the stone ages.

It may just be me but I am not a big fan of realtime time-stretching. Memory consumption (as people mentioned) is one thing. Also I don't like the idea of relying on a wav file which in reality sounds different from what I hear.

Time-stretching can be a really really good feature for DJ's and stuff doing realtime mixing. On the contrary, EXS in my opinion is a sampler aimed at integrating a sample sound into the mix in a user-friendly manner. For my mix, I (and probably many other people) like to use a quality wave file sampled at the precise BPM and EXS is just the tool for such purpose.
