Why does Big Fish use the NI Kontakt Engine?

At Vir2 Instruments we use the Kontakt Player engine to drive all our products.  Many new customers ask us why we use this plugin sample engine.  We actually chose the Kontakt player for several reasons.  It’s a very stable sampler engine that is both memory and processor efficient.  It can run in standalone, or as a plug-in in any of the current DAW applications available on the Mac or PC platforms.  It’s well known and widely used by many musicians, composers, and sound designers.  The biggest reason we chose Kontakt is because of the powerful scripting engine; the scripting engine allows us to program real-time, performance enhancing features that make our instruments more musical and more enjoyable to use.
