Re: Getting started with native instruments in contact player in reaper?
Yes.
@anIdiot: You have nothing to lose selling that old keyboard in exchange for a Native one.
IT really doesn't get better than that as far as accessibility is concerned, other than plugins already accessible (Sonivox is actually quite impressive in this regard).
I am going to underhype you right here, so sorry but not sorry. Music production is an expensive endeavor. If you don't go the druthers, wait till you do. Seriously. Especially if you are dealing with potentially inaccessible stuff. Save yourself the hastle. There are people out there, me included, that can handle your production work, who already have the setup, while you wait for a good time to sell your keyboard.
Regarding Eastwest, correct it is only accessible through nks. It also generally depends on what you're looking for as far as Eastwest instruments are concerned. Their Stormdrum series are great, and their guitars are good-sounding yet not very elastic, i.e. you're stuck with what's within the largely static presets. If you want guitars, go for something like this:

The orchestral libraries are good, although the Sonivox Fimlscore Companion bundle stands shoulder to shoulder with Eastwest's orchestral library, is substantially cheaper and smaller in size, and is surprisingly accessible. Beyond that, it has open-browsable fxb presets for the instruments that don't have a menu-system. The only applications that I still use Eastwest for from an orchestral standpoint are solo instruments, as that is the only thing the Sonivox bundle doesn't have. Yes, it's got 12gb worth of pianos as well, and don't let the Steinway attachment fool you, as this is no typical Steinway grand sampling from Garageband or Logic. This is a very meticulous sampling of just about any acoustic grand piano configuration you could want, and for electric pianos there's the Waves Electric Grand 80key, which is NKS-ready as well.
