Or more specific: > What kind of sampler do you look for? I am looking for a kind of sampler which would have usual tracker's sampler functionality. (as in ScreamTracker, ImpulseTracker, CheeseTracker) The main features are: *ease of changing samples on the fly*, *usability*. In fact I just want the second half of conventional tracker to use with ShakeTracker which is midi sequencer. The algorithm "swami convert into sf2 save load into fluidsynth" proposed by Jeremiah Benham is not okay this must be done by a couple of mouse clicks [or better keyboard shortcuts]. looks like simsam is something promising. can't wait until I get to my linux box and try it.
