Kontakt vs. SoundFont

Post by ssfm »

I'm looking at some sample libraries from Digital Sound Factory. They offer both Kontakt format and SoundFont format; would they both work the same with Mach V, or does one format have better compatibility?

The sounds will be the same. I've had the experience from the company that's in question. Please note that on their site they claim that their sounds have been remastered. If you're not familiar with a particular keyboard instrument in the way that it sounds from the original compared to their offerings it may sound a little different if you're a purist.
