It is available in the following formats: It offers sound design possibilities that are not available in any other plugin.The Decent Samples plugin is a FREE sample player plugin that allows you to play sample libraries in the DecentSampler format (files with extensions: dspreset and dslibrary). If you are heavy into mangling sounds and destroying samples in new, creative ways, then the spectral oscillator is worth a look or two.

In addition, a powerful FM engine borrowed from Steinberg’s parent company Yamaha (with traces from the legendary DX7) and a spectral oscillator have been added in the recently released version 7. Steinberg HALion 7’s GUI is not quite as straight-forward and tidy as Falcon’s, but the user interface still beats Kontakt by a long shot. Steinberg HALion 7 – FM, spectral oscillator, and high-quality library The plug-in is only available via UVI’s online store for 349 Euros. And the VST is, unlike Kontakt, MPE-capable and can be used in spatial audio productions with setups up to 10.2. Like Kontakt, Falcon comes with its own scripting language for creating and manipulating sample instruments down to the smallest detail.įalcon also comes with over 1,500 presets with an additional 22 extensions in a wide variety of genres. The VST also brings 17 different synthesis types and 100 effects to the table! 25 different sequencers like the new Ostinato Arp are also included. UVI Falcon is not only a very complex sampler. Because, if you look under the hood of Kontakt libraries to adjust something, or you want to create your own instruments, the tiny, beige-colored miniature sampling interface is not exactly inviting. One of the reasons why is, unlike Kontakt’s user interface, Falcon’s GUI development didn’t stop 25 years ago. UVI Falcon is often mentioned first when it comes to Kontakt alternative. UVI Falcon – Most versatile Kontakt alternative If you are looking for Kontakt alternatives, ask yourself these questions to find out which alternative is best suited for you: Do you want a more modern interface or more sampling options? Or are you looking for a big variety of additional sound packs? Or maybe you just want to create your own sample libraries? The Kontakt Factory Library is 43 gigabytes in size and comes with 900 sounds. In this case, check if a sample manufacturer offers the library you want to get in more than one format. It’s a proprietary format that only works in Native Instruments´sampler.

You can’t load Kontakt libraries in other plug-ins.
