    Soundplant is not really a sampler while Linux Sampler is exactly that, a sampler not a playback tool.

    With KONTAKT, you can sound like a snare drum, a symphony orchestra, or anything in between, from a universe of sampled instruments. It’s a simple sampler when you want it to be, and a deep sonic scripting laboratory when you need something more.
