Took a quick second and built Specimen. It built fine, and with your help I could load a single wave fail and play it using the play button. This is on Alsa-1.0.0rc1. I'm not clear whether it is your intention that Specimen be able to load multiple wave files on different MIDI notes today? Should I be able to put different loops on different notes and then play them back? Thanks! I hope you generate a bit of interest and this turns into something bigger and better. Take care, Mark
