Kontakt has no competitors really. There are no standard and open competitors, the closest is maybe something like HISE but it's not even close from a marketshare perspective.
- httpsterio 4mo agoSoundpaint, Sampletank, LABS, Best Service Engine, UVI Falcon, SINEfactory, Decent Sampler just to name a few
- meric_ 4mo agoNone of those are standard and open except for Decent and UVI which does have third party developers albiet not many. Anecdotally the only dev I know on UVI is acoustic samples? Since Virharmonic moved off of UVI onto their own powered by gorilla The rest you listed, Soundpaint, Engine, etc. are company specific proprietary samplers. Their only market share is the market share of their own company A lot of these aren't even samplers? SINEfactory is just OT's free collection of instruments. Labs is not even a free collection either anymore, Spitfire has done some strange subscription or monetization wrapper around it (and fyi labs used to be on Kontakt).
- vegadw 4mo agoDecent Sampler is what I had in mind, and I think is slowly seeing more and more adoption. I do have some hope for it.
