Hi Tod,
Yes, I have the Kontakt player and the Sample Tank player (the free ones), along with some samples for each while I try to figure out how this all works.
I left the music business right before the advent of MIDI, and even stopped playing any music for a couple of decades. When I started playing again, now for my own fun rather than as a profession, it all came back to my hands quickly. Muscle memory is a wonderful thing!
But MIDI, oh my. Surprisingly most of my issues with it have to do with understanding definitions of the terms, and with figuring out the routing in Reaper. And I've been playing with Sample Tank more than Kontakt at this point. But Kontakt is next.
Kontakt's samples seem a little better sounding, and more extensive than ST, so of course it is more expensive to buy the whole enchilada.
