  • VSL Kontakt vs Giga in sound quality?

    A question for some of you VSL Veterans - which do you prefer VSL for, kontakt or Giga? I was considering going the Opus Kontakt route but then I did some minor playing around between my Kontakt 2 VSL freebies and my Giga 3 freebies. I was surprised to hear that the Giga version sounded much richer, fuller and wider. I'm not sure if this is because Giga is just outputting loud or if there's a valid explanation with this that I can't think of.

    I really can't stand using Giga as Kontakt 2 as a vsti is so much easier to use, anyway now I'm thinking when I do get VSL I should get the giga.

    What have you veterans been able to tell as far as the sound quality? Is one really better than the other or are the default sampler's outputs playing tricks on me.

    Cheers,

    I might be on crack, but nativly sound quality should be identical. Giga however has GigaPulse, which indeed makes VSL sound like heaven.
