Best library for dragging and dropping your own samples?

Wake said:
I guess it's about comfort and a cleverly laid out palette of manipulation methods for me. Menu diving in kontakt is a strain on the eyes and patience as well.

I agree, it's definitely straining on the eyes and can be frustrating at first. But it opens so many doors. For instance, suddenly you find you are able to roll your own Arkhis-style patches in a couple minutes, but using any of the sounds you have.

But I guess as a longtime Reaper user, I'm not too bothered by awful UI ;)
 
there is one from Sonokinetik which can accept more than one sample at the time...i am not a fan of stretching the same sample for octaves, it sounds bad... but maybe sonokinetik has solved that.. don't remember the name.. anyone?
 
Choreographs and Landforms, the latest releases by Slate+Ash, are amazing. Landforms helps provide movement and life to long ambient organic sounds and Choreographs works almost like a Synth/Sampler but with Organic sources and the ability to include your own Samples powered by such an amazing engine. Best part of Choreographs and Landforms is that you don't need a special patch, like Cycles, to load in sounds. You can drag them any time and what that means is, if there's a preset you like, you can quickly replace it with your sounds to see how the engine affects your sounds.
 
Presently being on quest for "import your own samples" kontakt engines.

To sum up what was mentioned already + what I found:
Slate+Ash libraries
Phairlight/Straylight
Bioscape by Luftrum
Fission A by Triple Spiral Audio
Cinematique Instruments Korn (freebie)
Sound Aesthetics Audio Granularis (freebie)
Artistry Audio Origin X / Monolith
Synthtic Materials Waverly Audio
Drop Designer by Skybox Audio (freebie)
SoundTrax Sampler One
SoundTrax Drop Pad
Aura by Vir2
Fracture Sounds Granulate
Sonokinetic Ibrido Zero
HG Sounds Cassetto DND
Soniccouture Blanks
Soniccouture Haunted Spaces
Nova Vektor
SampleLogic Empyreal (have to check that though if this is legit feature)

Drag'n'drop-ish kontakt engines :)
Infandibulum by Sound Dust
Spitfire Audio eDNA
Photosynthesis

Synth based:
Iris 2
Dawesome Audio Novum (highly recommended)
Arturia Pigments
Parawave Rapid
NI Form
Big Fish Audio Momentum (yup I know, not a synth entirely but a handy tool) (freebie)
Omnisphere
SoundGuru The Mangle
AudioDamage Quanta
TAL-Sampler

Please let me know if I can put anything more on the list.

I would recommend Pianobook Tape Rooms for an easy-to-use granular with sample import! (Plus some great built-in sounds to boot)

excellent idea to get a running list going,

honestly this should probably be it's own thread with this list at the top so everyone can easily find it

That was my first thought and started writing new thread but abandoned that when in a meanwhile I found this thread and did not want to junk the forum. If this is ok with OP I might post a separate thread with the list with reference to this post as an inspiration and other short one I found as well on VIC.
 
Is this just for instruments based on Kontakt or should this include non-Kontakt based instruments like Lunacy Audio Cube?
