The sounds just blend into a mix very easily, and there are a variety of versions of types of instruments that you can audition, and they usually just work. I have loads and loads of VSTi sample libraries, but "bread and butter" really describes where HALion Sonic excels the most.
You haven't mentioned how much you would spend for the bread and butter sampler VSTi. What do you use to sketch out tunes, where you might keep some sounds and replace others? Starting with TTS-1 on one end of the spectrum going up to Kontakt / SampleTank / etc., which multi-timbral bread and butter workstation / rompler / sample playback VSTi are you using in Cakewalk? So far I am only using the free Kontakt Player from NI, but I will probably upgrade at some point. So be prepared to spend some additional bucks getting everything that you want. But it appears that the initial factory library that ships is lacking some useful bread and butter. Everything from free to fairly expensive library expansions are available.
If you want an open-ended sample platform with many 3rd party libraries available, Kontakt is the way to go. But my sample library needs are modest at this point, as my main interest is with synthesizers. The downside is that there is no market for 3rd party expansions. So far I am happy with SampleTank at the moment, as you get a fairly complete sample library for simple bread and butter needs out of the box. Then replace select sounds as needed with better sample playback instruments per track as your time/budget/inclination will allow.Īnother inexpensive instrument for tune sketching that is usually available for a few bucks is the AIR Xpand!2 ROMpler with 2500 sounds. I think starting with TTS-1 makes sense from an economical and workflow sense.
