I have the free version of the kontakt and I hesitate to buy the full version because I see that it does not come with too many instruments, would I have to buy or search for banks of instruments later? I use biab for jazz standards.

I also appreciate the sampletank, it seems easier and brings more instruments from the factory.


Kontakt does come with a full library. I choose Kontakt as there are many third party presets either to purchase or for free. Sampletank is also a good MIDI sound source. I think that you would be happy with either program.

I am very confused now and I have downloaded sounds of heaven but I don't know how it installs and how I can choose it in biab.

Any help in this regard will be welcome [/quote]

Timbres Of Heaven is a soundfont (SF2) and you will need a soundfont player. There are a number of them, some free and some not free. I use the free TX16Wx sampler when I occasionally use SF2s. https://www.tx16wx.com/

Here is a list of some other SF2 players:

I do not use any of the above in BiaB. I use them in a DAW. You can have more control and tracks in a DAW. If you are using a PC then you have RealBand and that is an excellent place to start. Many here use it as their only DAW.

I hope this helps and good luck.

I guess Do You Hear What I Hear was a bad song choice!
