This is why hardstyle can keep alive as a style, evolves. Unfortunately these sample packs ruined handsup, & now ruining the house-electrohouse-dubstep scene. it won't happen with hardstyle(i hope : ))

VEC should be sufficient for any producer in EDM, anything more than that is a signature sound and should be kept to the original artist IMO

I don't personally use samplepacks anymore, now i'm going cold turkey ( :+ ) and creating all percussion sand kickdrum sounds myself with 909 emulations and other synths

i suppose there could at least be a "tok pack" or something, something to help people with layers, i was thinking of making something in the future but for now my "own samples" pack is just for me :p

It does and its called reFX Nexus.
its a handy "vst"... if you actually know how to use it, some presets are really nice
Have to agree here - there is nothing wrong with putting a layer of Nexus under a synth just to add a little fullness. I don't like only using Nexus presets though

I like the fact that samples and ripped stuff is really hated in the hardstyle scene. It make people put effort in creating something new. In the housescene for example 80% of the releases are recycled shit because people just rip ideas/sounds and people dont even care it seems.

true... like my brother once said after sensation white... nearly every house track sounded like a loop with a rocket lifting up every 20 seconds and then some lameass drop taking away all the power it's been building up... -> where's the originality ?

Well talking about producers who made sample packs.. For example The Machine released a sample pack (with fx sounds, snares, claps, .. and mostly gated kicks and reverse bass, so I guess nothing for you kickwise).
But as Marcotjuh already said, it's great that sampling is hated in the HS scene as it destroys originality and the will to do new things.

I've worked very hard to develop my style and sound, it doesn't make much sense for me to make what I do easy/available for others.
This is the reason! :)

not really, because it doesnt have much of interesting sounds for hardstyle music and the ability to tweak the sound is basicly zero. There are hardstyle kicks in the pack as far as i know that comes with some expansion but those kicks do sound like a shit as far as i remember.

I myself dont use nexus, but my opinion about it is very good, because hand its a handy and really nice VST if you need basic good sounding sounds or just a supersaw sound, they would save CPU power, or if you just need a quick library to lay down ideas :)

I dont really think there is overal such instrument or anything that would be alternative to "sync hardstyle" button :) but on the other hand ReFX nexus is a "sync" for other EDM genres like house, trance.

p.s. i tried to edit a post above and i get a message "Your message contains too few characters."?

i only use snares,toms,crashes etc..synths/kicks are mostly uselles in sample imo..make them yourself gives you more control of it. I also make uplifters/downlifters myself, much cleaner and full control of effects:)
