The Emulator3X is a great soft sampler. The layout continues to follow the Emulator and Proteus interface, which is clear and easy to understand. It gives the best MIDI control of any soft synth: You can map Control messages to most anything, and it supports both program change and bank change, so you can load multiple banks of sounds (literally thousands) and access them all from MIDI. Another great feature, it will create a file of all the loaded programs and banks, so it is easy to put them into controlling software such as ArtWonk that can read the names and display them as they play.
In addition to all the sounds that come with the Emulator3X, there is is a huge low cost library of Proteus and Ensonic sound banks and sample libraries available online from [...] - the original developer of the Proteus libraries.
Overall sound is what you would expect from Emu, clear and glitch free even when loaded down. If you have a 64 bit Windows, the EmulatorX3 is a significant upgrade from either the Emulator or Proteus X2 versions or the free Proteus VX, because the sample space is virtually unlimited.
The only negative is that tech support is email-only. I had a problem with it initially, but apparently it does normally work. Eventually they called me and resolved my issues completely. So while I'm not keen on email-only support, I can accept it because for my money, this is the best sampler/sample player software available.Get more detail about E-MU EM8635 Emulator X3 64-Bit Streaming Sampling Synthesizer with Multi-Core Support.
