KODA is in early access - anyone tried it?

Looks pretty cool, but I'm not sure I understand what the whole thing is.

Definitely a sample-based plugin builder, but looks like it's also a marketplace too?

You build libraries for the KODA player, rather than building your own VST3/AU plugins.

Looks pretty nice though!

@dannytaurus its an attempt to offer an alternative to Kontakt from Mike Greene and friends...

I think it's good to have competition here but being another proprietary sample player it just shifts the problems of Kontakt to a new system.

@David-Healey Agreed about competition.

Not competition to HISE though, because with KODA you build libraries for someone else's player, not your own VST3/AU plugins.

But competition in terms of UI, features, ease of use, etc. definitely.

Regarding Kontakt, some would say at least it's a newer, less encumbered system.

What does Koda do that Kontakt doesn't?

With the current state of NI what is the future of Kontakt?

@pgroslou NI seems fine at the moment. But nobody knows the future.
