I am a new user to Acid Pro and I am testing out Vsampler with it. Is any one using Vsamp or are there better alternatives?
Thanks,

I'm using Acid's own DLS synth by translating and programming from Awave Studio. It's a little akward, but it sounds as good as anything else, and the CPU usage is a fraction of what any of the other softsamplers is. It may sound like I'm exaggerating but I'm not. The CPU usage is maybe 1/10 that of VSampler, Kontact or Halion! I don't even use any of the other virtual samplers anymore because of how much they tax my lowly PIII 1.1.

As far as VSampler goes, it does a comparable job to Kontact or Halion.

Im using Kontakt in Acid 4.0a, its very easy to use.
Go to the Native Instruments web page and check out the videos of Knotakt.
You also get 4 CD-Roms of samples.

The only problem with vsampler is that it only allows 1 instance at a time.

Yes
But why when you can use up to 16 instruments in one instance of Kontakt?

That's true the number of instances is irrelevent.
Kontakt samples from disc also?
Thanks
