I had posted a thread on the linuxsampler-devel list entitled "Multisample Format", on September of 2003: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3119861&forum_id=12792 But no one answered... My fault, I couldn't find the linuxsampler-user list ;-) So let's get back to one of my questions from there: do you think of a format with all files (samples and definition file) packed all-in-one or leave the patch file all by itself? I'd have a go for the second option: - it would help me build the multisampled instruments faster by scripting the process - by using another script that would slice the MIS samples and name them correctly, we would just have to provide patch files and scripts, which are easy on space! So I'll stick with writing that script that will only slice the MIS files untill you come up with that new XML-based format! What is the sample extension supposed to be chosen then: proprietary *.wav or *.aiff, raw files...?
