Ciao, The combination of Logic and NI Kontakt have finally fulfilled the promise of MIDI and samplers for me: Creative, convenient, clean, great sound, and sample-accurate MIDI timing without need to bounce. I did a recent breakbeat remix with over twenty tracks of Kontakt drums and percussion, and left it all virtual. The timing was absolute. Farewell, E-mu, Akai, and SampleCell! Stability under OS X has been fantastic in my case. Reaktor is also incredible, and to my modest opinion, the best soft synth for the money. Not every module is stable unfortunately, but that's the price for such extreme flexibility in design. The range of sounds one can reakt is simply overwhelming. I do have Battery, but never use it, as I use Kontakt for all sampler work. Cheers, 3
