Ok that organ is probably nice (100MB .GIG) but have you ever seen a free 1.5GB piano on the net ? AFAIK there aren't any so I think the guy that will build the MIS .GIG file would make a good service to those that want free high quality samples. > >http://www.worrasplace.com (Currently down, but coming) > >which I pointed out in this forum last December, and > >http://62.13.11.115/gtown/ (Currently up, and staying, I hope!) ;-) > >with some great gig files sampled at Grebbestad Church. > >wouldn't using those gig files provide more than enough confirmation that >any sampler work that was going on here did indeed work with standard gig >files? > I don't understand exactly that you mean. In linuxsampler we initially support AKAI S1000/2000 and GIG so that users can tap into the large pool of existing high quality sample libraries. Of course the more samples we test libakai and libgig with the easier it will be to spot bugs and compatiblity problems. cheers, Benno > >Or has this been done already? > >Cheers, >Mark > > > > >
