It's a blast to play, and as good or better than the actual hardware. Many of these sounds are essentially (11) DX's at once (DX7, DX5, and TX816). I know guys like and have talked about this over the years, and I can't seem to find those threads now.Īnyway, here's what started this: my newest release is a deep-sampled collection of iconic material from the DX7/TX rack series, all sampled through the hardware of the 80s: 1073s, various tape models, Roland Dimension D, and AMS RMX16. I suppose my question is whether anyone's been able to successfully translate from one to the other with any degree of satisfaction. I think it's just a matter of developing for one format from the get-go. Further, I don't mean to disparage the Kontakt format - I have tons of commercial libraries in that format so it's not a question of its capabilities.

I've been at this for a few decades and have used both of these platforms from day one, so I'm not new to any of this. Granted, I'm listening on large PMC mastering monitors, which are merciless - but that's my standard. And finally, the stereo image is noticeably different a tad narrower than what I'm getting from EXS. It's almost like there's some sort of subtle emphasis curve under the hood, like Roland used back in the S-Series days.

I've also noticed a difference in the raw sounds themselves, with filters and all mod sources disabled.

Not sure how to get around that with Kontakt - an approximation is the best I can do. EXS just sounds like something on a real synth - the filter is musical and crucial to the sounds I've built. For one, I haven't heard any Kontakt filter that sounds as good as the options in EXS24 (now 'Sampler'). Simple sounds port just fine of course, with a little tweaking - but sonically, I'm just not happy - especially with anything that depends on the filter. However, every attempt I've made has been a dismal failure: you always lose something in translation.

It would be a no-brainer to open up to that market. The whole thing has far exceeded my expectations, but a year into COVID which has killed touring, there is a constant demand for me to convert everything for Kontakt. It's built in MainStage given its capabilities and collection of VIs and included content, and therefore compatible with Logic since they share libraries. About 18 months ago I started an adventure in sound design and created a little "ecosystem" geared toward live keyboard players.
