FWIW, If the sampler has automatic mapping (when finished sampling - like Emulator X)... I get the point.

Otherwise I just don't see the advantage of integrated sampling (within the plugin). You've got that capability in any DAW application... with 100 times the options/flexibility. Plus, you can typically drag/drop samples directly into the plugin...

IMO, Kontakt (for better or worse) is so far ahead of the competition... there literally is no competition. HALion 4 and Indy Pro have some nice features... but they're not even close (especially considering Kontakt's custom script capabilities). Some serious competition would be good (for us and in the long run for Native Instruments)... but from who/where is it going to come? Who can afford the massive ~10 year developement that it'll take to equal/surpass Kontakt? About as bad a strangle-hold as Microsoft has on the OS market.
