Its going to be tough to run a soft-sampler on a G3. Im currently trying to
cure Battery, Native Instrument's percussion-centric sampler, of its
sputtering and coughing on my 9600 with a 400mhz G3 upgrade....
As far as a recommendation, KONTAKT by NI is pretty much the shit. Although
I've recently been test-driving Emagic's exs24 and its right up there with
KONTAKT [if you use Logic].
Honestly thought, there is no good software-analog to an MPC for ease of use
as a stand-alone composition tool. [You can now emulate the MPC drum pads
with the new Akai MPD-16 percussion pad controller, but there is still the
need for a sequencer and sampler package as well as the machine itself, midi
interface, audio I/O etc...] The MPC was designed to do one thing very
quickly and easily, sample and sequence drum and percussion lines and
phrases. You can do all of these things in software, but not without an
extra level of complexity.
At any rate.....If you are in the SFBAY area, we are having a free KONTAKT
clinic next wednesday with Paul Weissman from Native Instruments. Stop non
by! <
